HOW TO TAKE CARE OF SKIN IN WINTER.

Hormonal imbalances, stress, lack of vitamin ... Hair loss concerns 50% of men under 50. But solutions exist to stop or slow it down. Our tips for overcoming baldness.

Why does hair fall out?

Our hair is constantly renewed, in humans, they have a life cycle of about 3 years. This cycle is however longer in women. The hair follows a cycle of 3 phases :

1. An “ anagen ” growth phase (3 to 6 years, depending on the sex of the individual). The hair is alive, it takes about 0.3 mm per day.
2. A “ catagen ” transition phase (15 to 20 days), the hair no longer grows and waits for its replacement to dislodge it.
3. a “ telogen ” fall phase (2 to 3 months) the hair is dead.

There are a number of factors involved in the fall:

• Age: arrived at menopause, women lose their hair more.
• Heredity: baldness is a phenomenon strongly determined by heredity.
• Hormonal upheavals: an end of pregnancy for example can cause hair loss.
• The nature of the hair: the thinner the hair, the easier it falls.
• The use of straightening or curling iron.
• The stress.
• Excess food such as too fatty a diet causes hair loss.
• Deficiencies in iron or vitamins.
• Seasonal changes are also to be taken into account, mainly spring and autumn.

How to avoid their falls?

•  Apply anti-hair loss lotions and fortifying oils to nourish the roots of your hair.
• Prefer mild shampoos
• Apply a conditioner that detangles and strengthens the hair.
• Twice a year take a course of capsules rich in food supplements.
• Gently style your hair.
• Avoid attaching them too regularly.
• Do not abuse the straightening or curling iron.
• After applying your shampoo, rinse your hair well: some products can attack your hair.
• Rinse your hair regularly with lukewarm water when you go to the beach or the pool.
• Prefer drying in the open air to the hair dryer.

How to make them repel?

• Sleep well at night and adopt a rhythm of a balanced life: an unhealthy lifestyle shortens the hair cycle.
• Cut the tips regularly.
• Drink a lot of water.
• Be careful to eat a balanced diet, rich in protein, iron, vitamins A and C but also in zinc and magnesium.
• Massage the scalp regularly using circular movements, which promotes hair regrowth.
• Local “growth activator” products ensure faster growth by strengthening the hair.
• In the event of a substantial and lasting fall, or even incipient baldness, you have the possibility of performing a follicular micrograft. This solution is more expensive (3,000 to 5,000 euros) but turns out to be durable and discreet. During the intervention under local anesthesia, a strip is taken from the hair leather, generally at the back of the skull. The implants or grafts are then inserted by micro incisions in the “depopulated” area. Transplanted hair does not grow back immediately. The effect of the implants is visible one year after the transplant.
