The place for hair is on your head!

Is your hair literally falling out before your eyes? Don’t panic, there is a solution!

Thick and beautiful hair is like a winning ticket in the lottery of life – some of us are just lucky and enjoy this natural gift without much effort. Others, however, do not have this chance, and hair and its condition become a central issue in their lives.

These are the people who know exactly how many hairs they lose per day, have been seeking solutions to the hair loss problem for years, and are ready to try any remedy that has the potential to bring them some comfort in the form of thicker and healthier hair.

Hair loss, as you may know from personal experience, is a problem affecting both genders. We are used to associating thinning hair more with men, but the truth is that women also suffer (physically and emotionally) from hair loss.

WHAT IS HAIR LOSS?

This is a condition where hair loss exceeds new growth, or where we even observe entire areas of thinning hair. It is perfectly normal and natural for a person to lose between 50 and 100 hairs per day (if you bother to track where they fall and count them), which makes the loss minimal given the over 100,000 hairs each person carries on their head.

Usually, this loss will not even be noticed because under normal conditions, the fallen hairs will be replaced by new ones. However, this is exactly where hair loss comes in with heavy steps.

CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS

Hair loss is a condition caused by various reasons, most often hereditary. Think about how your older relatives of the same gender looked, and it is very likely that you will find they also had hair loss, but you simply never noticed it.

However, if it is too early to talk about hereditary hair loss, the cause may be hormonal. Sometimes an imbalance in sex hormones leads to this unpleasant effect and it is advisable in such cases to also visit an endocrinologist.

Hair loss can also occur after:

• • severe stress
  • surgeries
  • severe illness
  • during pregnancy (although at that time women rather notice a stop in hair loss and thickening of the hair)
  • after childbirth (many women wake up for months with a pillow covered in hair)
  • upon entering menopause
  • with rapid weight loss

• thyroid problems

• scalp infections

• autoimmune diseases, such as alopecia areata.
• Nutritional deficiencies can also lead to hair loss, but this usually happens with long-term avoidance of certain substances and food groups – proteins, iron.

TYPES OF HAIR LOSS

Hair loss is unpleasant enough, but to make things even more complicated, it exists in different types:

• alopecia areata – the so-called patchy hair loss
• androgenetic alopecia
• diffuse alopecia.

Androgenetic alopecia occurs in both men and women but manifests differently. In men, the front hairline gradually recedes backward and the crown begins to thin, while in women thinning starts from the crown of the scalp (the parting), without affecting the front hairline.

Diffuse hair loss means that hair shedding affects the entire scalp and a gradual overall thinning of hair is observed. It can be temporary or chronic and depends on several different causes.

HAIR LOSS IN MEN

Alopecia differs in type between men and women.

Usually, alopecia in men starts with hair loss at the temples (this is also the stage when hair loss is still hard to notice) and progresses towards the crown, reaching the so-called "diffuse hair loss", where men begin to lose hair in the center of the crown area. If the condition progresses, over time the man may lose all his hair.

In men, there is another condition known as alopecia barbae – patchy beard loss, which is a specific form of alopecia areata. This is an autoimmune condition where the immune system targets hair follicles as a threat and attacks them.

Similar to hair loss, the beard also begins to thin in small patches. Unfortunately, this condition cannot be predicted, as nothing indicates that in a week you will suddenly start losing small patches of hair on your beard and scalp. Itching often accompanies or precedes hair loss, and the scalp skin underneath is sometimes painful and irritated.

HAIR LOSS IN WOMEN

Unlike men, women at least have the luck of not losing all their hair – if that can be any consolation at all. Usually, hair loss in women leads to thinning hair at the crown of the head and starts with a mild hair loss above the forehead (you can check yourself by pulling your hair back and seeing where the scalp line begins).

If alopecia progression is detected, it is advisable to have an examination by a gynecologist and endocrinologist, because it may be due to changes in the ovaries.

Some of the cosmetic habits of women can also contribute to more severe hair loss:

• using low-quality dyes
• frequent blow-drying
• constant tying of the hair
• curling.

SEBOMAX HAIR REGROWTH GEL

Men, unfortunately, have drawn the short straw when it comes to hair loss and need treatment not only for the hair but also for other areas, such as the beard. This product is ideal for stimulating hair growth on the scalp and beard and can (and should) be used for at least 90 days.

CAPSAICIN

The main ingredient of the stimulating gel is capsaicin – probably familiar to fans of hot peppers. Rest assured – it won’t make you spicy, but it will significantly support the natural life cycle of the hair strand, improve scalp microcirculation, and open the way for the growth of new and healthy hair.

Capsaicin is the strongest known hair follicle stimulant so far, but that does not mean rubbing hot peppers on your scalp or beard – better to rely on the stimulating gel.

MENTHOL

It will soothe the skin and give you that wonderful sensation of light coolness, and will also reduce itching if you are troubled by it.

USAGE

Use for at least three months, applying a pea-sized drop and massaging with the applicator until absorbed. The gel can be used by both men and women.

SEBOMAX SENSITIVE SHAMPOO

Hair loss is a problem that requires special selection of the cleansing shampoo, which must be gentle and mild, free of sulfates and other aggressive and irritating ingredients. This one will be very suitable for anyone with a scalp suffering from irritated and flaky skin, often accompanying hair loss.

SLS FREE

Sebomax Sensitive is a sulfate-free shampoo, containing only a biodegradable cleansing complex that will not irritate the scalp skin. Sulfates are those foaming agents that create abundant foam in the hair while washing, but unfortunately, they are the biggest irritants to the skin. That is why more and more cosmetic companies exclude them from their cleansing product formulas and seek alternative surfactants.

MENTHOL

Menthol is a key ingredient of the shampoo, it will soothe and cool the skin and bring you the long-awaited relief from itching.

PANTHENOL

We all know that panthenol is the god of soothing skin, which is inflamed or irritated. In this case, it will also help by stimulating cell regeneration, which is necessary both for removing dandruff and for creating conditions for new hair growth.

VITAMIN E

One of the best available antioxidants that fight oxidative stress and reduce skin and overall body inflammation. It also helps moisture stay in the skin, keeping it elastic and well protected from harmful effects.

USAGE

The shampoo can be used 2-3 times a week. Massage the scalp with it and then rinse with warm, but not hot water.

In conclusion – if you have hair loss, do not despair, even if sometimes you see no hope of dealing with the problem. Look for the causes and if they are in your environment, try to eliminate them – for example, an overly stressful job.

Consult a doctor, check the status of sex and thyroid hormones, and at any moment consider including appropriate products for preventing and treating the affected areas. The earlier you take measures, the greater the chance of dealing with the problem, and the most motivating will be to see the new hair literally growing before your eyes.
