Hair Loss & Finding a Solution
The Causes
Genetics
Known as male/female-pattern baldness, this one of the most common causes of hair loss. It happens gradually and increases with age. Occurring in patterns like bald spots, a receding hairline or thinning along the crown, inherited genetics are the cause of this type of hair loss.
Stress
Stress can be a major contributor to hair loss, and can be a result of physical or emotional trauma. Stress causes the body to release the hormone cortisol which has a negative impact on the hair follicle and results in hair loss. Stress related hair loss is typically temporary.
Postpartum Hair Loss
Postpartum hair loss happens to around 60% of women following pregnancy. It is caused by hormonal changes in the body during pregnancy and in the months following. These hormonal changes are temporary and so is postpartum hair loss.
Nutrition
Illness
Alopecia Areata - an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss. The hair usually falls out in small round patches and in extreme cases it can lead to complete baldness.
Medications - Hair loss is can be a side affect of some medications including chemotherapy.
External
Over processing - Hair colouring & lightening, perming and relaxing systems, straightening irons, curling tools and blow dryers can damage the hair strand and lead to hair breakage and loss.
The Solutions
Healthy Diet
It is very important to maintain a healthy, balanced diet to promote healthy scalp and hair. Some foods packed vitamins that are very beneficial for the hair are eggs, avocados, seeds, nuts, spinach, oily fish, berries, green, leafy veg and of course plenty of water.
Anti Hair Loss System
The NATULIQUE Anti-Hair Loss system is a 3-step system;
The NATULIQUE Anti-Hair Loss system products help to stimulate new hair growth. The patented BioScience has been tested in a lab and the system is clinically proven.
The Science
Advanced Scandinavian anti-hair loss BioScience combines many natural organic ingredients including Castor Oil, Certified Organic Bitter Orange Oil and Certified Organic Rosemary Oil for a powerful solution that helps to stop hair loss and strengthen the hair roots while regenerating the hair follicles.
A major cause of hair loss is attributed to DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). DHT inhibits the absorption of essential nutrients. The NATULIQUE Anti-Hair Loss System is effective in preventing the effects of DHT.
Scalp Treatments
Regular Scalp Treatments stimulate the scalp and hair follicles keeping them strong and in healthy condition. A scalp treatment will cleanse the scalp, removing product build-up and excess oil. Nourishing ingredients will also be absorbed during a scalp treatment. This means the scalp and follicles can thrive which helps with hair growth and also prevents hair loss.
Using a scalp exfoliator can be a key step in a scalp treatment. NATULIQUE Exfoliative Scalp & Skin Therapy helps to maintain healthy scalp and skin, with key ingredients such as Urea, Tea Tree Oil and Aloe Vera Leaf Extract.
Scalp brushing is a great way to stimulate blood flow which is beneficial to the follicle.
Hair Replacement
Sometimes it may not be possible to grow the hair again naturally. If this is the case there are options such as integrated hair pieces, wigs and even hair transplant treatment. There are many choices available for all of these options, generally expensive and which require maintenance. In the case of hair transplants follicles are removed from the scalp then transplanted to the bald areas, this is expensive and can be painful.
Healthy Lifestyle
As hair loss can be a symptom of an underlying medical condition, it is important to take severe hair loss seriously. Seek medical advice from a Doctor and never attempt to self diagnose. NEVER stop taking a prescribed medication without the instruction of your Doctor.
