Hair loss? These tips will stimulate your hair growth!

Are you suffering from hair loss? Pay attention! It can be a warning signal from your body. What can you do to stimulate your hair growth? In this blog you can read all about the causes and treatment of hair loss.

Causes of hair loss

Are you losing more than 50 to 100 hairs a day? Or have you noticed that you are suddenly losing more hair than normal? You might notice this while brushing or washing your hair. Then you are probably suffering from hair loss. A healthy person loses about 50 to 100 hairs per day. Hair loss is an important physical message about your physical and mental well-being. Hair loss can have several causes such as:

• Use of hair products with harmful ingredients
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Vitamin deficiency, especially vitamin B
• Iron deficiency
• Too much vitamin A or products containing vitamin A
• Hormonal fluctuations
• Stress
• Disorders of the immune system
• Use of certain medications & contraception
• Irritated, dry scalp
• Genetic predisposition

Nutrition for your hair and scalp

If you are deficient in iron, vitamin B, silicon, zinc or Omega 3, your hair will grow slower, be less strong and shiny. If you don't address the deficiency, it can even lead to severe hair loss.

Your daily diet is the basis for healthy hair!

Your daily diet is the basis for healthy hair. A nutrition plan with enough protein and all the necessary minerals and vitamins is essential! This can be a challenge in your busy life and with the fact that "western food" does not always contain the right ingredients. One solution may be to take nutritional supplements, such as a multi-vitamin. Going for a supplement plan is also an option. We recommend that you visit a Horthomolecular physician. The doctor can use a thorough blood analysis to find out what substances you need! It is essential to combine proper nutrition with proper hair care such as the Kérastase Genesis line.

Kérastase Genesis line

The anti hair loss hair care line from Kérastase is suitable for all types of weakened hair. It provides a stronger hair fiber and up to 84% less hair loss. The line provides gentle cleansing, intense nourishment and hydration of the hair. Detangles without weighing down the hair. The result? A healthy and strong hair look, with extra resilience that prevents hair loss and breakage!

Use the shampoo, conditioner, mask and serum for optimal results.

Using the wrong hair products and hair treatments

The wrong hair treatment can cause hair loss or a damaged scalp. List the most common, harmful choices:

• Aggressive hair treatments with chemicals such as (de-)coloring the hair, wearing (often too heavy) extensions and using relaxers.
• Wearing too tight a ponytail, bun or braid on a daily basis. This puts too much tension on the hair roots and lengths. If this is the case daily, it can cause hair loss or breakage.
• Using the wrong hairbrush or brushing too aggressively can cause broken and damaged hair. Use a brush with natural bristles. This is good for your hair and scalp.
• Using heat tools on too hot a setting. Never set your styling tool hotter than 180 degrees even if you use a heat protector. When using a blow dryer or hot air brush, finish with cold air to close the hair cuticles.

Tips to stimulate hair growth

1. Start with a nutrition plan with adequate protein, necessary minerals and vitamins.
2. Use hair growth pills.
3. Sleep on a satin pillowcase. The fabric keeps your hair from getting damaged. Cotton, on the other hand, creates friction, causing your hair to tangle faster and making you more prone to split ends and breakage.
4. A healthy scalp is essential. Massage your scalp daily. A massage promotes blood flow, which stimulates hair growth. You can possibly use an oil for this.
5. Use the right hair care products such as Kerastase Genisis line for healthy hair as well as a healthy scalp.
