Hair Loss

Hair loss is part of the natural hair renewal cycle, where each hair falls out to be replaced. However, factors such as stress, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies or external aggressions, can increase its frequency. Identifying these causes is essential in order to adopt suitable solutions and prevent excessive hair loss.

FAQ about hair loss

Can stress cause hair loss?
Yes, stress can cause hair loss by disrupting the hair cycle, leading to excessive shedding.
How can we differentiate between normal hair loss and alopecia?
A normal hair loss involves 50 to 100 hairs per day, whereas alopecia is characterised by excessive loss, often localised or widespread, accompanied by hair thinning.
Can we prevent age-related hair loss in women?
Yes, the hair loss associated with ageing in women can be mitigated through a healthy diet and the use of appropriate care products. If necessary, hair growth stimulants or hormonal therapy can be prescribed by a healthcare professional.
What are the main causes of hair loss?
The primary causes of hair loss include hormonal imbalances, stress, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, genetic factors, natural ageing, certain medicinal treatments, and external aggressions such as tight hairstyles or harsh hair products.
Do hormones influence hair loss?
Yes, hormones do influence hair loss, particularly imbalances related to pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid disorders.
Is hair loss hereditary?
The hair loss is often hereditary, although other factors also come into play.
Which medications can cause hair loss?
Chemotherapies, beta-blockers, anticoagulants, or even certain antidepressants, can induce hair loss by disrupting the hair growth cycle.
Does white hair indicate an imminent hair loss?
No, the emergence of white hair is linked to a decrease in melanin production and does not indicate an imminent hair loss.
Are anti-hair loss shampoos effective?
Anti-hair loss shampoos can strengthen hair fibres and improve the condition of the scalp, but their effectiveness against hair loss remains limited compared to targeted treatments such as minoxidil.
Are fine hairs more likely to fall out?
Fine hair does not necessarily shed more, but its reduced diameter can give an impression of lesser hair density, especially in cases of diffuse alopecia.
