Causes of hair loss
Let's start by analysing hair loss and its various causes. It is important to know the cause of your hair loss in order to treat it in the most appropriate way possible. For example, if you experience hair loss during a change of season, then you would treat it differently compared to androgenetic alopecia.
Similarly, sudden hair loss due to excessive stress can be treated not only with cosmetic active ingredients, but also through a focus on relaxation.
Also, natural ageing often leads to a gradual reduction in hair density. Illnesses such as thyroiditis, diabetes and autoimmune disorders can also lead to increased hair loss.
As well as that, certain medical treatments, including chemotherapy, as well as the prolonged use of certain medications, can cause temporary or permanent hair loss. Hormonal changes, especially those cause by pregnancy, the menopause or contraceptives, are also factors to consider. An unbalanced diet, lacking essential nutrients such as iron or protein, can weaken hair and lead to hair loss.
Last but not least, aggressive hair care, such as tight hairstyles (ponytails, plaits) or excessive use of chemicals, can damage hair follicles and contribute to hair loss. Emotional shock, meanwhile, can cause significant hair loss, often a few months after the stressful event.
What deficiency causes hair loss?
Nutritional deficiencies play a crucial role in hair health. Iron deficiency is one of the most common causes of hair loss, particularly in women. Iron is essential for the production of keratin, the main protein in hair. Similarly, a zinc deficiency can weaken hair follicles, leading to hair loss. B-group vitamins, particularly biotin (vitamin B8) and vitamin B12, are also important for maintaining healthy hair. A diet low in protein or essential fatty acids, such as omega-3, can also compromise hair growth and lead to increased hair loss.
What are the symptoms of hair loss?
Hair loss can manifest itself in different ways, and it's important to recognise the early signs in order to get appropriate treatment. Here are some common symptoms of hair loss:
Thinning of the hair: a decrease in hair density may be manifested by a progressive thinning of the hair, especially at the crown of the head or at the temples.
Widening parting: a gradually widening parting of the hair can be an early sign of hair loss, especially in men.
Thinning hair: areas of thinning hair or bald spots may appear on the scalp, indicating more advanced hair loss.
Excessive hair loss: a significant increase in the amount of hair that falls out when brushing, washing or simply touching the hair can be a sign of hair loss.
Scalp tenderness: scalp tenderness or pain can accompany hair loss, especially if associated with inflammation or irritation.
If you notice any of these symptoms, it is recommended that you consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and to discuss available treatment options.
How does hair grow?
Hair growth is a cyclical process that takes place in several distinct stages:
The growth phase (anagen): during this phase, the hair follicles actively produce new hair. This phase can last from two to six years and determines hair length.
The transition phase (catagen): at the end of the growth phase, the hair follicles enter a transition phase where growth activity slows down and the hair stops growing. This phase generally lasts a few weeks.
The resting (telogen) phase: during this phase, the hair is at rest and remains attached to the hair follicle but does not actively grow. This phase lasts about three months before the hair falls out naturally.
The hair loss phase (exogenous): at the end of the resting phase, the hair naturally falls out to make way for new hair in the growth phase.
This cycle of hair growth and loss is continually repeated throughout a person's life.
How much hair do we lose every day?
During the (exogenous) hair loss phase, we lose an average of between 50 and 100 hairs a day. However, the amount of hair lost can vary depending on individual factors such as season, age and even hair care habits. Beyond this range, increased hair loss may indicate an underlying problem that needs attention.
Natural solutions
Relaxation and stress management: Regularly practising relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga or deep breathing can help reduce stress and promote hair growth.
A balanced diet: Eating a diet rich in fruit, vegetables, lean proteins and essential fatty acids can provide hair with the nutrients it needs to stay strong and healthy.
Natural haircare: Opting for natural, gentle haircare products that are free from harsh chemicals can help prevent breakage and hair loss while preserving hair's natural health and shine.
Herbal treatments: Certain plants such as Rosemary, Chamomile and Nettle are renowned for their beneficial properties for the hair and scalp. Infusions and essential oils made from these plants can be used in hair treatments to strengthen hair and encourage growth.
By incorporating these natural solutions into your hair routine, you can help prevent hair loss and promote natural, healthy hair growth.
