...to ask whether it's the time of year a lot of people shed hair (or is that a myth?)

Exactly this. I'm shedding hair and wondered if I should be concerned or whether it is true that times of the year people go through hair shedding periods?

My DDs and I always shed hair early autumn. I googled it once and found some DM articles about it which reassured me.

That's cats, isn't it?
