QUESTION: In recent years I have lost a lot of my blond (and now some gray) hair. As far as I know, I don't suffer from extreme hair loss, but simply no more hair is 'made up'. How can I solve this problem?
ANSWER: “First of all:it is a fact that blond hair is naturally thinner than dark hair. And yes, the hair also suffers a bit with age. The growth cycle of a hair can be divided into three stages. First the growth phase which lasts about five years, then the rest phase which lasts five weeks and finally the failure phase †
Research has shown that the hair follicle is programmed to go through 25 cycles. So if we assume 25 cycles, we would have hair for 125 years at best. However, it is often the case that due to a unbalanced diet , stress, diseases and hormones speed up the cycle. When you lose more than the usual hundred hairs a day, we talk about hair loss.
In your case, the aging is probably the cause of the hair loss † With a dietary supplement and/or a special cure that prevents hair loss you can try to slow down this process and keep the hair you have left (ask at your drugstore or pharmacy).
But:when the hair follicle no longer produces hair, there is also nutritional supplements or cure products nothing more to do.”
