Deciphering the Causes of Hair Loss
Hair loss is increasingly worrying more men and women. Below, we will unravel some of the causes:
- Family history: Genetics can be a key factor in hair loss.
- Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, menopause, and thyroid problems can trigger hormonal changes that affect hair.
- Weight loss: Significant weight reduction can cause hair loss.
- Seasonal changes: Seasonal stress can contribute to temporary hair loss.
- Episodes of stress: Emotional stress can weaken hair roots, leading to hair loss.
- Poor nutrition: An inadequate diet is one of the main enemies of hair. Proteins, zinc, L-cysteine, and B vitamins are essential.
- Long hair in women: Women may notice loss more due to having longer hair.
Nutrition and Hair Health
To maintain nutrition and hair health, it is essential to maintain a balanced diet. Having sufficient sources of proteins, zinc, L-cysteine, and B vitamins, such as biotin, folic acid, and B12, will be essential to maintaining a healthy head of hair.

Long-Term Effects of Products with Chemical Ingredients

Early Signs of Hair Loss and How to Act
Watch for early signs:

Women: Check for widening of the scalp line.
- Act quickly if you detect these signs, as recovery can take 3 to 4 months and, once lost, it can be irreversible.
