It's not just the mood that fluctuates with the weather. Our scalp is also sensitive to time and to several other factors that may be directly related to the so common “hair loss”.
Mostly it is not cause for alarm. This issue may be associated with:
1. SEASONALITY
Happening completely naturally, the loss of 60 to 100 strands of hair per day is considered normal, especially during the coldest times of the year (autumn/winter), because in these times, the hair root is less irrigated and, therefore, there is a weakening of the hair fiber.
2. HORMONAL ISSUES
They can happen at various times in life, namely in adolescence, postpartum (lasting up to 2 months), changes in pills and/or the introduction of new contraceptive methods, among others.
3. REACTIVITY
Not infrequently, situations of physical and/or mental stress lead to hair loss. Likewise, the use of certain medications may be related to this problem. And just like drugs, the use of chemicals to change the shape (straightening or curling), or even the excessive use of heat sources, such as dryers and flat irons, can stimulate hair loss.
Recent studies claim that COVID may also be associated with this issue, lasting up to 9 months.
THEN AND NOW?
Regardless of the cause, if you identify with this problem (hair loss), you can always resort to specific products or supplements with proven results, such as:
·Capillary lotions with Minoxidil and/or Aminexil: Minoxidil influences the regeneration of hair on the scalp as a side effect of increased circulation; Aminexil is a more recent discovery that prevents the hair shaft from hardening and the accumulation of collagen around it, which is one of the main causes of premature hair loss, as collagen prevents the hair root from attaching itself deeper and strong in the dermis.
Dercos Aminexil Clinical 5 (women or men) may be the solution you are looking for. This product in ampoules contains: aminexil, arginine and thermal water, for topical application and has proven effectiveness after 3 weeks of use.
· Stimulating shampoos - Can complement the treatments.
Vichy invested in and formulated Dercos Energy+, which also contains aminexil, which strengthens the fiber, making the hair recover its natural resistance.
It is also important that the food contains all the necessary nutrients for the body, as hair loss can be caused by very restrictive diets, low in calories and low in animal proteins. Therefore, it is also advisable to use nutritional supplements for hair loss.
If the problem persists and the hair loss is very pronounced, or if you start to notice hairless regions on your head, we recommend that you go to a dermatologist for a specific assessment of your scalp and possible tests that can detect the cause in order to act. in accordance.
