Hair loss: causes and hair care tips

We all know that exposure to stress can also lead to increased hair loss.

Did you know that women are more prone to stress-related hair loss than men?

We lose around 100 hairs a day. That may sound like a lot at first, but it really isn't. It's time to take notice when the number rises sharply, when we wake up to more hair on the pillow than usual and notice more – or too much – hair left in our comb or brush.

The most common causes of hair loss include:
* hormonal imbalance
* crash diets
* various medical conditions
* a reaction to certain medicines
* a lack of zinc and iron in the body

STRESS

Now that we are living through uncertain times, many of us are facing increased stress at work or in our private lives. Stress alone can make us lose more hair every day, but fortunately there is a brighter side to this story – stress-related hair loss is only temporary, and once life settles down, the shedding settles down too.

You have probably noticed that increased hair loss is more common in autumn and spring. According to experts, one reason may be sudden changes in temperature, as hair acts as a natural shield that protects the scalp from strong sun and cold!

Zinc is very important for hair, as the body needs it to produce keratin, the main building block of hair. How do we know we are low on zinc? Signs can include increased hair loss, damaged nails and rough or flaky skin.

What can I do for stronger-looking hair?

If you are dealing with excessive hair loss, fine hair or split ends, it's high time you gave your hair more time and care!

HAIR LOSS

There are a few things you can try yourself first. If the shedding is heavy or doesn't settle down, see your doctor or a dermatologist.

* choose good-quality, home-grown food

* use shampoos, conditioners and masks free from sulphates, silicones and mineral oils. We recommend the SHAMPOO WITH ADDED PEPPER AND PEPPERMINT, which leaves your scalp feeling refreshed and invigorated.

* choose an intensive treatment for stronger-looking hair. Highly concentrated treatments usually come in ampoules. When applying an ampoule to the scalp, take a few minutes to slowly massage your scalp (not your hair). With the right massage, you will feel a tingling on your scalp. We recommend the NOAH AMPOULES WITH BLACK PEPPER AND PEPPERMINT, created by Italian professional hairdressers!
