How come ? Every day, we lose a hundred of them (out of an average of 120,000):this is normal since the hair has a life cycle of about 3 years. Then it detaches and falls. By periods, we can lose more (we call it the reaction fall). It can be explained by several factors:seasonality (we lose more hair in the fall and spring), the postpartum period (between childbirth and the return of diapers), great stress, pollution, dietary deficiency (iron, zinc, etc.) or even heredity and age. It is observed 3 months after the trigger, the time for the hair to come off.
What to do to limit the fall? There are cures (at least 3 months) of food supplements and lotions that help reboost the hair in pharmacies. The capsules provide nutrients that strengthen it and compensate for any deficiencies, while the lotions improve its anchoring and stimulate its growth. Above all, we are patient:it takes at least a month and a half to see results (after a few weeks, we can already see a strengthening of the nails). But if the phenomenon lasts more than 2 months or if you notice that the fall is very localized, you go to see the doctor. It may be a medical problem (alopecia areata, congenital alopecia), on which food supplements have no effect.
