Losing a few hairs every day is normal: the natural hair cycle means every hair eventually falls out to make room for a new one. Hair loss becomes a concern when it increases markedly, lasts over time or leaves thinning areas.
Common causes of hair loss
- Seasonal changes: many people notice more hair in the brush in autumn.
- Stress and tiredness: a difficult period can affect the hair a few weeks later.
- Postpartum and hormonal changes: hair loss after pregnancy is common.
- Deficiencies: a lack of iron or other nutrients can weaken the hair fibre.
- External aggressors: frequent blow-drying, straightening, repeated colouring, heat and the pulling of tight hairstyles cause breakage.
- Genetic predisposition: it affects men and women alike.
Hair loss or breakage: telling the difference
A hair that falls out with its bulb, a small white swelling at the root, has fallen out naturally. A broken hair has an uneven length and lacks suppleness. A cosmetic treatment can help nourish the fibre and limit breakage. It does not replace medical advice when hair loss has a health cause.
Good everyday habits
- Wash your hair with a gentle shampoo, free from sulphates and parabens, such as the anti-hair-loss shampoo for women or the anti-hair-loss shampoo for men.
- Massage the scalp with a plant oil to nourish the fibre, for example the anti-hair-loss oil for women or the anti-hair-loss oil for men.
- Limit the heat of styling tools and avoid hairstyles that are too tight.
- Detangle gently, from the ends towards the roots.
- Eat a varied diet, rich in protein, fruit and vegetables.
When to see a doctor
Seek advice from your doctor or a dermatologist if hair loss is sudden and heavy, if bald patches appear, if the scalp is painful, red or flaky, or if hair loss persists for several months.
