HOW YOU CAN (REALLY) STOP HAIR LOSS

Hair loss is one of the most common concerns. Why does hair fall out? Is it preventable? Can we stop hair loss? Today we explain how we can curb hair loss by focusing on health, science, and proper self-care.

ACTIONS THAT WILL HELP YOU STOP HAIR LOSS

The best advice to prevent or stop hair loss is to thoroughly understand your hair and provide it with exactly what it needs.

TRICHOLOGISTS: THE SPECIALIZED HELP YOU NEED

In hair care, we always look for quick and effective results, and a trichologist can help us with this.

You'll hear this term more and more often. Trichologists are hair doctors. Just as a dermatologist helps with your skin, a trichologist specializes in hair health.

A correct diagnosis will save us time and money. Trichologist David Saceda said in Instyle magazine:

“Without a good diagnosis, you are wasting time, hair, and money. It is very common for patients to come to us seeking a miracle solution (...) which rarely or almost never yields results.

You will almost always need a more precise diagnosis. (...) There are a hundred ways to lose hair. The more you refine the diagnosis, the more you can personalize the treatment.”

WHY DOES HAIR FALL OUT?

We know that hair can fall out due to situations like stress or pregnancy. But let's go further, why does this happen to us?

To understand this, it's necessary to know the types of hair loss. Dr. Sanja Zivanovic, a biomedicine doctor, recently explained it to us in this live session with Lidia Bedman:

"We can divide hair loss into two types: androgenetic alopecia (a hormonal alteration) for which we always recommend consulting a dermatologist-trichologist to prescribe specific medication, and another called telogen effluvium, where the hair's natural growth cycle is altered, leading to massive hair loss.

In both cases, we are talking about weakened hair with a deficiency of essential nutrients. Supplementation comes into play, provided it contains a composition 100% focused on strengthening the health and nutrition of the hair follicle."

For this, we need to understand the hair phases:

• Anagen Phase: lasts 4 years and is the growth phase.
• Catagen Phase: Growth slows down.
• Telogen Phase: lasts 3 months and is when hair falls out. Often, it falls in autumn or spring.

Both in the case of alopecia and the natural hair cycle, it is best to opt for hair supplementation. We are, of course, talking about nutricosmetics.

The composition is key, and for that, nothing beats HAIR FORMULA. Do you know why?

HOW DOES HAIR FORMULA HELP STOP HAIR LOSS?

Often, a nutrient deficiency aggravates hair loss. Something as simple as a lack of vitamins or iron will worsen hair loss due to increased weakness of the scalp and hair follicle (the hair from within).

A supplement like HAIR FORMULA is designed to minimize the effect of alopecia, provided it is combined with medication prescribed by your trichologist, and it will also halt the telogen hair loss phase.

Its composition is a blend of essential vitamins, minerals, and components that not only provide visibly healthy-looking hair but also act at the level of hormonal or androgenetic hair loss due to its 5-alpha-reductase enzyme inhibiting components.

At the same time, it acts against telogen effluvium and seasonal shedding thanks to keratin, Vitamins D and B, and the minerals Selenium, Zinc, Copper, and Iron.

DON'T NEGLECT EXTERNAL CARE

The first step we always take in hair care is to look for a magic formula that, when applied, promises us a quick and lasting anti-hair loss effect.

Remember that without an intake of essential nutrients, these products will not deliver on their promises, so you should combine internal care with an adequate selection of hair care products.

It is essential to look for nourishing ingredients such as keratin, natural oils, proteins, and vitamins to strengthen the hair. Additionally, opting for sulfate and paraben-free formulas ensures gentle cleansing without irritation.

Don't forget proper heat protection with ingredients like keratin, pro-vitamin B5, and oils such as argan or coconut, which seal the cuticle, minimizing heat damage.

And of course; UV protection is a plus for additional protection.

“The worst enemy of hair is a lack of knowledge in care”
Claudia Bernárdez, dermatologist and trichologist.

CONSISTENCY IS KEY

Hair care aimed at stopping hair loss is not just something to apply shortly before spring and autumn. After age 35, hair will begin to age, just like skin. We cannot stop aging, but we can age better.

If we follow daily skincare routines, hair care should be no different.

By following the trichologist's advice and complementing adequate external care with the scientific efficacy of nutricosmetics like HAIR FORMULA, we will truly curb dreaded hair loss.
