Dull and fragile hair, what to do?
Are you tired of having dull and fragile hair? What to do to have the hair of your dreams? Read on!
Anatomy and structure
First, you need to understand where and how your hair comes from.
Hair begins in the follicle, located between the deep dermis and the hypodermis. A venous system provides the nutrients necessary for their growth, such as the amino acids necessary for the formation of hair.
In addition to the 18 amino acids necessary for its formation, hair is also made up of 95% keratin, formed by the protein we consume.
Hair quality and quantity
There are several causes and risk factors that can influence the appearance of hair. It's up to you to take a look at your lifestyle and make improvements where possible.
The lifestyle
- Tobacco
- Undernourished diet, high in carbohydrates or leading to nutritional deficiencies
- Chemical treatments on hair (coloring or permanents)
- Poor stress management
- Environmental pollution
Certain hormonal factors
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome
- Thyroid
- Menopause/Andropause
- End of pregnancy and childbirth
- Genetic
- age
Other causes
- Certain skin diseases (psoriasis, eczema)
- Infections
- Irritable bowel or other inflammatory bowel disease (often causes major deficiencies due to poor absorption)
The stress
Stress, whether physiological or psychological, risks increasing inflammation and reducing blood supply to your hair follicles. The result is an increase in the presence of toxins towards the scalp which can lead to hair loss.
Men are not immune
In men, hair loss could be due to excess androgenic hormones converted in the scalp. DHT, a hormone from testosterone and the more sensitive hair follicle receptors, prevents hair regrowth. The hormonal conversion process accelerates premature aging. An acceleration in the lifespan of the hair cycle causes fluffy hair to grow back. After a few years, no regrowth is possible and leaves your scalp bare.
