Why do we lose hair?

 

 

Hair loss is a real social phenomenon that affects both men and women, throughout a lifetime. Before panicking, you should know that this loss is natural: it is normal to end up with 1 or 2 hairs when you run your hand through your scalp from time to time, it is part of the normal life cycle of the hair. On the other hand, an imbalance in this cycle, due to various factors, can lead to a much greater loss for which we should be concerned. In order to understand why we lose our hair, let's first start by understanding the hair's life cycle.

 

 

The life cycle of a hair

 

 

The life cycle of a hair is punctuated in 3 distinct phases:

• The growth phase or anagen, which lasts between 3 and 5 years, during which the hair is growing continuously
• The resting or catagen phase, which lasts about 3 weeks, during which the hair detaches from its dermal papilla
• And the fall or telogen phase, which can last up to 4 months, during which the hair, whose bulb is weakened, gradually comes out of the scalp until it ends up falling naturally.

 

 

Why do we lose hair?

 

Normally, we have a proportion of about 85-90% hair in the anagen phase and 10-15% in the telogen phase. When you are facing hair loss, this cycle is unbalanced. The amount of hair in the growth phase is reduced, while the amount of hair in the fall phase is increased. This imbalance can be caused by hormonal changes, stress factors, deficiencies, seasonal changes... The back to school season in September is often conducive to falling, a consequence of the stress that can be felt before the summer holidays (as a reminder, hair takes up to 4 months to fall out!).

 

 

 

 

What solutions for hair loss?

 

First of all, to prevent too much hair loss, make sure to adopt a healthy routine for your hair. Check that the hair products you use are well suited to you and your hair, that they have a good composition, and that they have not expired!

 

To stimulate the growth of your hair and limit hair loss, perform a simple and effective gesture regularly: self-massage. Massage your scalp from time to time, with the hand in a star form above the scalp to act well on the nerve endings, with small circular movements to stimulate blood circulation.

 

Finally, be sure to maintain a healthy lifestyle as well as a balanced diet, to stay healthy and avoid deficiencies (including zinc, iron, vitamins B12 and B6) that will potentially cause unwanted hair loss.

 

 

In addition to a healthy lifestyle, we invite you to discover two products with a natural composition that allow you to fight against hair loss: HAIR FORCE dietary supplements, as well as the patented DERMO-CHUTE serum, to be adopted from complementary way for an optimal result.
