Everything you need to know about hair loss
Marie Nieuwoudt, group education manager at CLOUD NINE told Fabulous everything you need to know about hair loss.
What are the most common causes of hair loss?
Marie explained: “There are so many reasons why someone might experience hair loss.
“The main reason is usually hormonal changes or underlying health conditions (such as thyroid disease) and stress
natural also plays a big role in changes in the health of your hair.
“But another common everyday cause is excessive damage to your hair caused by mistakes in your styling routines – and this is a
big one to be aware of for people who regularly apply heat to their hair!
“It’s important to know the right temperature for your hair type when using styling tools as this is essential to reducing unintentional heat damage.
“I also see that many people experience hair loss due to hereditary conditions that are passed on from generation to generation.”
What are the best hairstyles that people should try to reduce their hair loss?
According to Marie, “Less is more when it comes to hair loss! It’s important to be gentle with your hair, so a style that is low maintenance and limits pulling on your scalp is the best option.
“Putting your hair in a tight ponytail or adding hair clips can cause stress points at the roots.
“Try letting your hair down or loose instead.
“You are not limited in your options, but it pays to be conscious about your hair styling. It is essential to use tools that limit damage to your hair.
“Discussing your concerns with a hairdresser or hair loss specialist is also a great way to find styles that suit your specific needs, while still ensuring you look and feel your best.”
How long does it take for hair loss to stop?
If you want to know when your hair will grow back, Marie confirms: “Hair loss is a personal journey – and it’s different for everyone, so it’s very difficult to put exact timing on this process.
“Every head of hair is unique, and so is your experience with hair loss.
“As always, you can talk to a professional hairdresser or trichologist about your specific concerns and hair changes, and they can help you meet those expectations.
“I can’t stress enough how important it is to be kind to your hair. Most people are quite rough with their hair, and this is something you definitely want to avoid if you’re dealing with hair loss.
“Make sure you choose products and styling routines that you know will be good for your hair, rather than causing additional damage.”
Another added: “Hair feels stronger and shinier. I apply a small amount to my scalp every day for two weeks and I definitely see results.”
A third commented: “It’s amazing, I’m already seeing new growth. It smells wonderful and everything is great.”
Tips for hair loss
According to statistics, we can lose between 50 and 100 hairs per day NHS.
Normally this is not something to worry about, but occasionally it can be a sign of a medical problem.
These include illness, stress, cancer treatment, weight loss and iron deficiency.
The NHS recommends that you make an appointment with your GP to see if you can identify the cause of it.
Experts at Association of the American Academy of Dermatology also recommend eating healthy, limiting curling irons and using them only for special occasions.
They also recommend using a gentle shampoo and using leave-in conditioners.
Meanwhile, someone else claimed: “Even my hairdresser commented on the condition of my hair.
“I use this every night and it takes the frizz out of my hair and my hair looks thicker.”
Even more hair tips
Martha also shared her other hair care tips.
The content creator explained that she uses high quality shampoo and conditioner.
Not only that, but she now only washes her hair twice a week.
So if you want to stop hair loss, which is incredibly common in the fall due to temperature fluctuations and the seasonal hair growth cycle, you should ditch your own brand products and stop washing your hair. and grab some rosemary oil.
The 4 phases of the hair growth cycle
Hair experts at Philip Kingsley shared the four phases of the hair growth cycle: Anagen, Catagen, Telogen and Exogen
Anagen phase: Also known as the ‘growth phase’ or ‘active phase’, this is the phase when the cells in the root of your hair divide most quickly, forming more new hair.
During the anagen phase, hair grows about half an inch per month [about six inches a year]and faster in summer than in winter.
This phase of the hair growth cycle lasts an average of three to five years.
Catagen phase: After the anagen phase, your hair cycle enters a short transition phase known as the catagen phase. This phase signals the end of active hair growth and cuts off individual hairs from the blood supply and from the cells that produce new hair.
About three percent of all hairs are in this stage at any time and it lasts about 10 days.
Telogen phase: The third phase of your natural hair growth cycle is the telogen phase, a resting period during which the strands remain in their follicles but do not actively grow.
It is estimated that 10-15 percent of your hair is in the telogen phase at any given time.
The telogen phase lasts about three months or 100 days.
Exogenous phase: The final stage of the hair growth cycle, when individual hair strands release from their follicles and fall out.
Now the whole process starts again.
