WHY DOES HAIR FALL OUT?
EACH PERSON LOSES BETWEEN 150 HAIRS PER DAY
The influence of external factors such as severe illness, surgery, anorexia or bulimia, pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, anemia, intense emotional stress, a serious infection, an accident, certain medications or a severe diet can cause hair loss. The impact of these factors will be felt some time or even several months later. In addition to these factors that can cause hair loss, there are diseases of the scalp and the hair itself (we advise you to consult a dermatologist if in doubt). This type of hair loss is reversible and does not constitute baldness.
A SEASONALITY FOR THE HAIR
It is important to know that there is a seasonality for the hair. Indeed, we lose more hair in autumn and spring. On the contrary, it grows more strongly in summer. Hair growth is stronger when it is new. The age criterion is also to be taken into account, because the older you get, the slower the hair growth.
Each follicle has its own genetic program. On average, a hair follicle grows over a period of 4 years.
At the end of each growth phase, the follicle begins its rest phase (about 12 weeks) during which it releases the hair. The hair falls out. After this resting period the follicle starts the cycle again with a new hair. And so on..
FACTORS OF TEMPORARY HAIR LOSS: STRESS AND DIET
A period of intense stress or diet can cause temporary hair loss. Once this has passed, the hair will grow back normally. During these periods of stress or diet, there are products containing amino acids (shampoos, food supplements, etc.) that stimulate the follicles to promote better hair growth.
To boost hair growth, there are also products containing Vitamin B8 (biotin) and folic acid.
Be careful! Excessive doses can have the opposite effect and cause additional hair loss.
Finally, contrary to popular belief, it is not necessary to use anti-hair loss products from time to time. They are only recommended in case of proven hair loss.
We also recommend the application of lotions and toning agents that stimulate hair growth and/or prevent hair loss.
