Hair loss and nutritional deficiencies

Yes supplements and nourishing masks!

A diet, a diet low in animal protein (including red meat), zinc deficiency or mostly iron (related to contraception as IUD, heavy or excessive consumption of coffee or tea) are all factors fall. If the body does not have sufficient amounts of protein (sulfur amino acids) and energy from iron, it no longer produces this evil or keratin, essential for making hair.

How you notice it?
Either it's the hair that falls over, or it's part of the hair shaft that breaks the hair being of lower quality, so too fragile.

It lasts how long?
So long as the deficiencies.

And regrowth?
Just the inadequacies to get everything in order, usually after three months of treatment.

The Board of Dermatology:
In addition to a balanced diet, in theory, should increase their consumption of legumes (for minerals and vitamins), and red meat (for iron), but in such quantities that it's not possible. Eat whole grains and dairy products rectifies a little shooting. To address the problem of falling more efficiently, we propose a sulfur amino acid supplementation of high-dose vitamins. If necessary, after a blood sample assayed for iron, it is possible to add a supplement to a sufficient dosage (50 mg QD) for 3 months. At home, we take care of the hair fiber with nourishing masks and creams without rinsing to make all its shine to the hair.

Hair loss after pregnancy

Vitamins to strengthen the keratin, many pregnant women take notice: their hair has never been as good as during pregnancy. For impregnation estrogen helps maintain alive the hair, hence the fall arrest for nine months. But two to three months after birth, as a result of hormonal changes, natural cycle changes, and they fall.

How you notice it? The fall is diffused, that is to say that there is a loss of density on the whole hair.

It lasts how long? About three to four months.

And regrowth? Although visible, this hair loss is difficult to live with but do not jeopardize regrowth. After treatment (or even without), the hair leaves without problem a few months after delivery, except for special cases and family history.

The Board of Dermatology: After returned, the gynecologist may prescribe a contraceptive pill hormonal contribution makes it possible to quickly stabilize hair loss. As stress and desire to lose weight are often added to the key of the lives of young moms period, excessive dieting should be avoided.

Only a balanced diet covers all the needs for vitamins and minerals. It also recommends supplementation with high doses of sulfur amino acids (cysteine and methionine), possibly combined with vitamins (vitamins A, E, B5, B6, B8 ...).

Hair loss: blame the seasons!

This is the time to make a cure!

Once a year, usually in the fall, many women find a larger drop. The life cycle of the hair is not the same during the year. This is a natural physiological regulation: hair grow in the summer and fall more in autumn, without really knowing why.

How you notice it?
And after pregnancy, the fall is diffuse but concentrated in time and therefore more visible.

It lasts how long?
About a quarter, for a season.

And regrowth?
No problem, with or without treatment, the hair grows normally.

The Board of Dermatology:
To activate microcirculation, fall protection lotions can be used in treatment for three months, but without friction, rather with a gentle massage of the scalp with fingertips done. They are based on plant extracts (nettle, horsetail or ginkgo biloba) and contain antiradical and silicon derivatives which stimulate blood flow, vitamins and amino acids of sulfur. However, do not expect too much of an anti-fall shampoo. He may have a beneficial effect on the vasculature of the scalp, but will not prevent the fall ...
