Hair loss affects many people, and it is not always easy to understand what lies behind it. A certain amount of hair loss is natural, but if you notice that your hair is visibly thinning, or that more hair is left in your comb or in the shower, it’s worth keeping an eye on the change. 

The condition of your hair can be influenced by several factors at once. 

Hair loss may temporarily increase following prolonged stress, significant physical or mental strain, or a serious illness. 

In such cases, the change often becomes apparent not straight away, but weeks or months later. 

Changes in hormone levels can also affect the hair growth cycle. Examples of such changes include the postnatal period, the menopause or certain hormonal problems. 

If hair loss is persistent or significant, it is worth having the cause investigated with the help of a specialist. 

Proper hair growth requires, amongst other things, protein, iron, zinc and other nutrients. 

An unbalanced diet or certain nutritional deficiencies can contribute to a deterioration in the condition of the hair. 

It is important, however, not to choose dietary supplements automatically, but only when necessary and following a proper medical assessment. 

Healthy hair care doesn’t start at the ends. 

The condition of the scalp is also important: excessive sebum production, dryness, irritation or dandruff are all issues that are worth addressing. 

That is why scalp care is attracting increasing attention. 

Hair loss and split ends are not the same thing. 

Frequent colouring, bleaching, straightening or exposure to high heat can primarily damage the structure of the hair shaft. This can cause the hair to become drier, weaker and more brittle. 

In this case, it is important to use hair care products that moisturise, nourish and restore the hair’s structure. 

It is not necessarily the case that more products lead to better results. 

It is worth choosing a shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, leave-in treatment and styling products that are suited to the current condition of your hair. 

Coloured, dry hair, for example, has different needs to fine-textured hair that quickly becomes greasy. 

Sleep, diet, fluid intake and daily physical activity are all part of how the body functions – and this can be reflected in the condition of your hair. 

There is no single „miracle cure” for beautiful hair. A regular, well-structured hair care routine combined with a healthy lifestyle can be truly beneficial. 

It is worth distinguishing between the two. 

In the case of hair loss, the hair falls out from the hair follicle. 

With split ends, the hair shaft breaks along its length, which is why the hair may appear shorter, more uneven and thinner. 

The approach to dealing with these two problems is not necessarily the same. 

Take note of when the change began, how severe the hair loss is, the condition of your scalp, and whether there have been any significant physical or lifestyle changes recently. 

If hair loss is severe, occurs suddenly, is patchy or persists for a long time, it is advisable to have the cause investigated by a doctor or a suitable specialist. 

A suitable hair care routine can then be put together in a more targeted way.
