What causes hair loss?

To treat the problem at the root in a lasting way, it is essential to understand what is happening on the scalp on the one hand, but also within the entire body.

Ask yourself the right questions to determine the solution that suits you.

Do I have a hormonal imbalance? Hormonal fluctuations are a common cause of hair loss. Pregnancy , menopause , polycystic ovarian syndrome, and oral contraceptives can affect hormone production and cause hair loss that may not be permanent but can be dramatic.

Am I stressed? Exams, a defense, a period of intense work, a hectic family life... There are so many reasons that can lead to physical or emotional stress, causing temporary hair loss. If it's intense, stress triggers a reaction called "telogen effluvium." A large number of hair follicles go into a resting phase, leading to more significant hair loss. By slowing down, going on vacation, meditating, or exercising, we can calm daily tensions and find better, more restful sleep and, therefore, more peaceful days.

Am I eating well right now? Beware of nutritional deficiencies! A diet lacking in essential nutrients, such as iron, zinc, protein, and B vitamins, can weaken hair and lead to hair loss. Restrictive diets and eating disorders also increase this risk. Are you short on ideas? We've got plenty of balanced and healthy recipes for you.

What am I doing to my hair? Frequent use of coloring, bleaching, perming, or salon straightening can open the cuticles and damage the hair's keratin. The result: a dull and rough appearance, or even a straw-like effect on the ends that ends up weakening the hair and making it brittle. The same goes for heating tools like hair dryers, straighteners, and curling irons, which, if used very often at high temperatures, can significantly damage the hair and lead to reactive hair loss. The right reflex: lower the temperature, limit the number of times you use the plates, and above all, use a heat shield treatment to prevent the evaporation of the water inside the hair fiber.

How am I doing? Of course, certain conditions like hypothyroidism, lupus, and diabetes, as well as certain medications, can cause hair loss. In this case, don't hesitate to talk to your doctor to find solutions tailored to your health.

Have I thought about taking my preventative treatment? You can take a course of Hair & Scalp Boost food supplements. at the start of the school year and in spring, and even at any time of the year when the need arises. Do you want to prevent or control postpartum hair loss ? If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, always ask your doctor or midwife for advice. The formula developed in Aime's laboratories contains probiotics that rebalance the intestine, biotin that promotes growth, rice proteins that strengthen the hair, and folic acid that stimulates the hair follicle. The right rhythm: take two capsules with a meal for 3 to 6 months depending on your needs and results.

Patience! With the right approach, you have everything you need to prevent and treat hair loss.
