Hair loss - Causes, treatments and tips to manage it

June 30, 2023

Today we will talk about a topic that concerns many of us: hair loss. It's a common problem that can affect both men and women. In this blog post, we will go over different causes of hair loss, treatment options and useful tips for dealing with it. Let's dive in!

Causes of hair loss

Hair loss can have several causes, and it is important to understand what may be behind your specific case. Here are some common factors that can contribute to hair loss:

  1. Genetics: Hereditary hair loss is the most common reason why both men and women experience hair loss. This is also known as hereditary hair loss or androgenetic alopecia.
  2. Hormonal changes: Hormonal imbalances, especially during pregnancy, after childbirth or at menopause, can lead to temporary hair loss. This is due to changes in hormone levels in the body.
  3. Stress: High levels of stress can negatively affect the hair growth cycle and result in excessive hair loss. It is important to manage stress in different ways, including relaxation techniques and regular exercise.
  4. Nutritional deficiencies: Insufficient intake of essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, vitamin B12 and protein can negatively affect hair health and growth. A balanced diet with nutrient-rich foods is essential to maintain healthy hair.
  5. Medical conditions: Some medical conditions such as thyroid diseases, autoimmune diseases and some skin diseases may be associated with hair loss. Always consult a doctor if you suspect that your hair loss may be linked to an underlying medical cause.

Treatment options for hair loss

There are several treatment options to manage hair loss and stimulate hair growth. Here are some popular options:

  1. Hair care products: Using hair care products specifically designed to promote hair growth and strengthen hair can be effective. Products containing natural ingredients such as biotin, keratin and caffeine can help improve hair health and stimulate hair growth.
  2. Let your scalp breathe: Avoid using too tight hairstyles or hair accessories that can pull the hair and damage the hair follicles. Let your scalp breathe and avoid excessive heat from hair dryers and styling tools.
  3. Supplements: Some supplements, such as biotin and vitamin E, can be beneficial for strengthening the hair and promoting hair growth. Consult a doctor or a specialist in hair care to determine which supplements may be suitable for you.
  4. Medical treatments: In some cases, medicines containing substances such as minoxidil or finasteride may be prescribed to help slow hair loss and stimulate hair growth. It is important to consult a doctor before starting any medical treatment.
  5. Scalp massage: Regular scalp massage can improve blood circulation to the scalp and promote hair growth. Use a few drops of a hair oil with nourishing ingredients and gently massage into the scalp in circular motions.

Now that we've gone over some treatment options for hair loss, let's move on to some useful tips for dealing with it.

Tips for managing hair loss

  1. Choose gentle hair care products: Use mild and gentle hair care products that are specially designed for sensitive hair and scalp. The Everys REPAIR INFUSION with its strengthening and moisturizing formula is a great option.
  2. Avoid excessive heat and chemical treatments: Stay away from excessive use of heat from styling tools and chemical treatments that can damage and weaken hair further.
  3. Protect your hair from the sun: Exposure to the sun's UV rays can damage your hair, making it brittle and dry. Use a hat or Finishing Spray with UV protection to protect your hair when you are outdoors.
  4. Balanced diet: Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in nutrients such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats and proteins. Consider including foods rich in iron, zinc and vitamin B12 to support hair health.
  5. Avoid excessive combing and brushing: pulling and brushing your hair too much can lead to damage and breakage. Be careful when combing or brushing, and use wide combs or brushes with soft bristles.

Now that we've shared some useful tips for dealing with hair loss, let's answer some of the most Googled questions on the subject.
