Why does hair fall out? 👩
Hair loss, also known as alopecia, is linked to a very common hormonal phenomenon.
To fully understand the reasons for hair loss, it is important to bear in mind that our hair grows in cycles.
The growth and loss of our hair are actually determined by a cycle. A typical head of hair contains more than 100,000 hairs, which are naturally renewed. The hair cycle consists of three stages:
- Anagen phase (the hair growth cycle);
- Catagen phase (the resting phase of the hair cycle);
- Telogen phase (hair shedding);
These phases vary greatly in duration.
- The anagen phase can last anywhere from a few months to several years. During this phase, hair grows at a rate that varies from person to person. Follicles grow more slowly on the temples than on the top of the head.
- The catagen phase lasts between three weeks and several months; during this cycle, hair stops growing.
- The telogen phase means that the hair falls out to be replaced by another. It is therefore perfectly normal to lose around a hundred hairs a day, and this should not cause you any concern.
We experience about twenty hair cycles in a lifetime, meaning that our hair renews itself about twenty times.
Hair loss is linked to the influence of male hormones: enzymes convert testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, which artificially accelerates hair cycles. Hair therefore falls out much more quickly. This type of alopecia is generally linked to hereditary causes.
There are also external causes of hair loss: a tiring and stressful lifestyle can accelerate hair loss and slow down regrowth, as can vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Warning: sudden and unexplained hair loss over a very short period of time can be a sign of health problems. If in doubt, contact a doctor immediately.
What natural methods can be used to combat hair loss? 🛀
There are various methods for combating hair loss:
- Be aware that a simple shampoo will not be enough to completely stop hair loss, even if it guarantees immediate results. However, certain specialized shampoos slow down the hair cycle and naturally increase hair volume. To choose an effective shampoo, carefully check the ingredients in your product. For example, a shampoo rich in hydrolyzed proteins rebuilds damaged hair and can therefore be very beneficial in cases of hair loss. Aloe vera is also an ingredient in anti-hair loss shampoos that can be very effective.
One last recommendation: let your hair dry naturally and avoid using a hair dryer as much as possible. Also avoid straightening your hair with electric straighteners. Artificial air contributes to damaging your scalp.
- Hair lotion can also be an excellent ally inpromoting hair regrowth. This product is most often made from essential oils and minerals. It is applied to the scalp and provides your hair with all the nutrients it needs. Your hair is strengthened and nourished naturally. Anti-hair loss hair lotion cleanses the scalp and promotes hair regrowth.
- Certain foods are also known to promote healthy hair. To keep your hair in top condition, try eating more fish! Rich in zinc and amino acids, fish is your best ally for achieving the hair of your dreams. Wheat germ and other grains also contribute to healthy hair. They contain high amounts of vitamin B, which regulates sebum secretion in the scalp. Vegetables rich in vitamin C are very effective natural antioxidants.
Dietary supplements for healthy hair 🌱
For healthy hair, natural solutions make all the difference!
- Dietary supplements: Dietary supplements are an excellent way to support hair health. They provide the body with the nutrients it needs to produce strong, healthy hair. Santarome Bio's Keratin Sublimes Cheveux Force & Croissance tablets contain a combination of amino acids (L-cysteine, L-methionine), vitamins and minerals (B6, B8, zinc, and selenium), plants ( horsetail, rocket, blueberry ), and geranium essential oil, which naturally strengthens and boosts hair growth and vitality.
