Hair loss

How can I regrow my hair?

Both men and women are affected by hair loss or baldness.

There are several hair loss conditions:

Androgenetic alopecia

Androgenetic alopecia is most common in both men and women. The cause is hormonal disruption. There is an overproduction of the hormone androgen, which causes hair loss.

Androgenetic alopecia affects 70% of men, and can occur from the age of 18 onwards, but generally starts at 40.

Androgenetic alopecia can be recognized by the loss of hair at the temples, then at the crown of the head. The crown above the nape of the neck will not be affected by baldness; this area is called the "eternal zone".

For women, the hair will be thinner and the skull can be seen through the hair.

Seborrheic alopecia

This condition also affects many men and women, and is very similar to androgenetic alopecia, but the cause is different.

There is hair loss due to excess sebum production, which clogs the hair follicles and eventually kills the hair.

Seborrheic alopecia can be accompanied by side effects such as greasy hair and scalp, loss of hair volume, irritation, tingling and dandruff...

Scarring alopecia

This condition can be recognized by the irregular loss of hair, similar to alopecia, which can affect any area of the skull.

Causes of scarring: viral, infectious or bacterial diseases. Mycosis, autoimmune reaction to disease, external aggression.

Other causes of hair loss

Change of season: Hair loss is greatest from autumn to winter.

Stress: Too much stress can cause hair loss, particularly in women. Often due to post-traumatic stress, stress stimulates the production of androgen hormones, which are responsible for hair loss.

Hormones: menopause, micropolycystic ovary syndrome, hypo- or hyperthyroidism, pituitary gland.

Trichotillomania: An obsessive-compulsive disorder that involves pulling out one's hair.

Dietary deficiencies: Vitamin and mineral deficiencies prevent the hair system from functioning properly.

Poor hair care: Hairstyles such as braids and buns that are too tight, as well as overly aggressive products or chemicals, can kill hair.
