Understanding the causes of this hair loss helps implement effective solutions to regain denser hair.

Understanding hormonal hair loss

Hormones play a key role in the hair life cycle.

A hormonal variation can shorten the growth phase and cause more significant hair loss.

Main causes:

  • pregnancy and postpartum
  • menopause
  • polycystic ovary syndrome
  • stopping or changing contraception

Signs of hormonal hair loss

Hormonal hair loss is often recognized by certain signs.

  • diffuse hair loss across the entire scalp
  • progressive decrease in density
  • thinner and more fragile hair

Unlike genetic alopecia, hormonal hair loss is often reversible.

How to limit hormonal hair loss?

Certain habits can help preserve hair health.

Stimulate the scalp

Scalp massage stimulates microcirculation and helps reactivate follicle activity.

Use strengthening treatments

Concentrated serums can strengthen the roots.

The Longevity Serum acts directly on scalp vitality thanks to amla and prickly pear oil.

Adopt a gentle routine

Aggressive shampoos can exacerbate hair loss.

The Purifying shampoo cleanses the scalp without irritating it, and the Nourishing shampoo cleanses while providing nutrition and softness.
