What to do to limit hair loss ?
Have you noticed unusual hair loss lately? Your hair looks less dense, you pick up handfuls of hair after brushing? It is common to lose your hair at certain seasons or times of life, but when should you start worrying about a little too much hair loss, why do we lose our hair? We enlighten you about hair loss!
Why am I losing my hair ?
Like skin cells, the hair also has a cycle. They grow from hair follicles, but don't stay on our heads all our lives! Indeed, the hair dies falls out, and is replaced! The life cycle of a hair is illustrated by three stages:
The shoot, otherwise called the anagen phase :
This is when the hair grows from the bulb, this period can last from four to six years. Most of our hair is in this growth period. This is the longest phase of the hair cycle.
The catagen phase, otherwise known as the resting period :
This period lasts approximately two to three weeks, during this time, the hair no longer evolves, and there is no particular change.
The telogen phase, the period when hair falls :
During this period, the hair that has stopped growing falls to make way for new hair and starts the hair cycle again. During a lifetime we experience more than twenty different hair cycles.
When to worry about hair loss?
All the hair that we lose on a daily basis, during brushing or shampooing, is at the end of its telogen period. Normally, we lose approximately fifty hairs a day. Beyond 100 hairs lost daily, this can reflect an underlying problem, such as iron deficiency, thyroid imbalance, or even in the most extreme cases an infectious disease. To find out if hair loss is normal or not, there is the pull test: This test consists of running your hands through your hair, and fingers spread. If more than twenty hairs remain on your fingers then the hair loss seems rather high and may hide a deeper problem.
What is alopecia?
We speak of alopecia when the hair cycle but the telogen phase is not replaced by the anagen phase (phase of growth) which then leads to significant hair loss. Alopecia can be chronic, at which time we notice more sparse areas and the hair loses more and more density, but it can also be sudden with sudden hair loss. Alopecia affects a third of women after the age of 40.
What causes reactive hair loss?
hair loss in the fall
Like animals, we tend to lose our hair when the seasons change. These hair losses usually appear during the transition to fall or spring. Seasonal alopecia can be the cause of significant hair loss, some people can lose up to 100 hairs a day. This phase can last a month to a month and a half.
Are hair loss and fatigue linked?
Internal and especially emotional well-being plays a big role in hair loss. Mental fatigue, stress, overwork or depression can lead to hair loss. This hair loss can occur a few months after the period of stress or fatigue, hair regrowth can also take a few months.
Draconian diets
It's not really weight loss that causes hair loss, in this case, it's usually dietary deficiencies. When a diet is too strict, we can lack a lot of vitamins or proteins that are essential for the good health of our hair.
Hormonal hair loss
Hormonal imbalance can sometimes be the cause of more significant hair loss. Women, during their life, can be affected by several periods that lead to hair loss. Pregnancy can be a factor in hair loss, indeed even if during pregnancy the hair tends to be more beautiful, denser, and shinier, thanks to the overproduction of estrogen hormones, it cannot last! After childbirth, many women notice postpartum hair loss, this hair loss concerns a third to half of the women following childbirth. The body produces less estrogen and progesterone (the hormones responsible for hair growth) hair loss can also be observed at the onset ofmenopause! This hair loss is most often chronic, that is to say, it is spread over a period of more than six months.
How to stop hair loss for women?
Whether you lose your hair for X reasons, there are certain natural products to slow down these losses, attenuate them or even stimulate the growth phase. Our advice :
Anti hair loss shampoo

Among the vitamins important to the good maintenance of hair fiber, we find Vitamin B, vitamin D, amino acids, proteins, and sulfur.
