Surely many of you are quite concerned about hair loss. This is a more common problem than we think and, in reality, it can be due to many causes ranging from the slightest to the most worrying.
In any case, we will always recommend that if the fall is much more pronounced than normal, you go to a specialist dermatologist to be treated properly. Of course, if we talk about one of the most common, such as seasonal fall, we can help you with something with the statements and advice that two of our trusted professionals have given us, such as José Miguel Gallardo, director of the TeaCut Hair Salon in Seville, and Kenzo Yonekura, professional stylist.
Detect the fall
According to José Miguel, the first thing we have to do is detect if we really drop it. And as he comments, the question of Is my hair falling out or not? It is one of those that they hear in classrooms because we don't know if it is normal or not.
Thus, it tells us that we must pay attention to two things: “The first is if there is more hair than usual on your pillow, in the shower or in the dustpan (if so, you may be beginning to suffer from hair loss); and the second has to do with a perception of depopulation of your hair, lack of volume or receding receding hairline. We cannot consider it lightly and if it is worrying, as we already said, we should go to your dermatologist because many of these dysfunctions have effective treatments that will allow you to recover your hair.”.
In any case, in this sense, we also bring up the words of Kenzo who tells us that there is a great similarity between plants and hair: “Our scalp is like a fertile soil which must be cared for and fertilized… in order for the hair to grow healthy and strong. Therefore, it is where we have to pay special attention”.
In fact, as far as seasonal hair loss is concerned, he continues to tell us that it is very typical that in autumn-winter we suffer from hair loss. And as noted, in spring-summer we focus more on hydration and protection, as well as restorative treatments that are very dense and tend to saturate, which makes hair more prone to falling out.
For this reason, Kenzo always recommends “in this second half of the year, autumn-winter, use products that clean the scalp very well, including anti-hair loss or some product or shampoo for volume that generally cleans very very well and only use specific conditioners in each wash, relegating the masks to once a month or so”.
Of course, the thing does not stop there because it also tells us that to avoid hair loss, another thing that it also recommends is to try to keep the scalp very clean. At this time, where the use of heating is widespread, there are sudden changes in temperature that cause the scalp glands to go out of control and produce much more oil than normal. For this reason, we recommend washing it whenever we notice it is dirty so that we ensure good anchorage to the hair since that grease acts as a lubricant effect and causes more hair to fall out.
Seeking help in nature
Apart from everything that Kenzo has indicated to us, José Miguel gives us options using leaves, fruits and roots that are full of active ingredients, ancient remedies that have been used to treat problems such as hair loss.
Among all of them he tells us that “the most miraculous may be the jojoba oil (Simmondsia chinensis). This oily liquid is extracted from the fruits of a bush that grows in the desert and is a miracle of nature, especially for the scalp.”.
This elixir is not so much a fat as a wax, as it contains 96% ceramides. In contact with the sebum that accumulates around each hair and whose excess is one of the main reasons for its loss, it helps to remove it and leaves the hair follicle free, which favors the growth rate.
Thanks to its properties, jojoba oil is ideal for oily hair. This also makes it the best ally for fine hair, as it repairs dry ends while rebalancing oily secretion at the roots.
Furthermore, it tells us that “if we want to increase the benefits of natural, we can also wash it with saponaria or soap tree that do not harm anything and will help you show off splendid hair without chemicals.”.
