Throughout the year, everyone loses 60 to 100 hairs a day. This is a natural hair renewal mechanism, so there's no need to worry if hair loss is "stable". However, when hair falls out in abnormally high quantities, various factors may be to blame.
When should you be concerned about hair loss?
If there's such a thing as temporary hair loss when the seasons change, particularly in autumn and winter, there's also a type of sudden or progressive hair loss, medically termed "alopecia", which is often a cause for concern. Hair is a real beauty asset, a seductive asset, a reflection of health and an integral part of our personality. So when it falls out in large quantities, it triggers a great deal of distress, and that's quite normal.
Hair loss and causes
While it's normal to lose a certain amount of hair every day, it's also important to remember that hair capital diminishes over the course of a lifetime. A woman of 60, for example, has half the hair she had at the age of 15.
The life of a hair
On average, a head of hair contains between 100 and 150,000 hairs and as many hair follicles, each producing a single hair. When we lose 60 to 100 hairs, the regrowth cycle is immediately activated, and the number of hairs that grow is always far greater than the number that fall out. If, on the other hand, you notice that you're losing more hair than usual, and this is reflected in your hair density, you're dealing with abnormal hair loss. Hair loss can have many causes and manifest itself in different ways.
The normal course of the hair regrowth cycle depends on general health, diet, hormones (thyroid and sexual), heredity, certain growth factors, chemical mediators in the nervous system, etc. So, as a general rule, we can distinguish between the causes, or rather the different types, of hair loss: reactionary or hormonal in origin.

A reactionary cause
Reactional hair loss can first of all be seasonal, like leaves that fall during the change of season. This is non-pathological hair loss, which is not serious. However, it can also be caused by an emotional shock, a change or imbalance in daily life, stress, overwork, fatigue, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and so on.
A hormonal cause
When we talk about hormonal or genetic hair loss, we often refer to androgenetic alopecia, which is common in men and increasingly so in women. Hair loss has a significant hereditary component. The risk of going bald is all the higher if one of your ancestors is bald. Some twenty different genes are associated with baldness. This form of hair loss is characterized by persistent and significant hair loss, with varying degrees of thinning. It most often occurs on the sides (temples, top of the ear) or top of the head, as well as on the forehead. Beware: hair loss can progress rapidly and last for a long time if left untreated.
An infectious cause
Some localized hair loss can also be infectious, such as ringworm, or autoimmune, such as alopecia. In women, other factors may also come into play. After childbirth, some women experience "post-partum" hair loss. While this has no effect on normal hair, it can worsen the situation in the case of androgenic hair loss.
Hair loss and treatments
Hair loss is not inevitable! Treating hair loss depends above all on the cause. While certain diseases, such as ringworm, can be treated with anti-fungal medication, or even alopecia, which can be eliminated with corticoids or ultra-violet rays, there are other treatments available to halt hair loss and stimulate hair growth.
As long as we still have the choice, it's best to rely on natural hair care products to treat hair loss. A good treatment includes the use of gentle, natural products to strengthen the hair fiber and restore a healthy scalp.
Vegetable oils
Among other things, good, cold-extracted, natural plant oils are ideal allies for the hair. Plant oil complexes help restore hair to full health, extending the hair cycle to its original length. Jojoba, castor and coconut oils smooth the hair scales, coat the hair fiber and nourish the scalp and hair bulb. Rapeseed oil promotes hair growth, olive oil strengthens the scalp, while macadamia oil prevents dryness and stimulates blood circulation.
Rosemary oil is the best oil for promoting hair growth. It dilates blood vessels and stimulates cell division, promoting hair follicle growth. For example, discover Christophe-Nicolas Biot Paris©N°1 Anti-Hair Loss and GreasyHair Oil, made with ylang-ylang, rosemary, hazelnut and conifer oils. It has particularly purifying properties, and activates circulation at bulb level. Reactivating the scalp's microcirculation will bring nutrients to the hair. The ideal way to do this is to massage the scalp with fingertips and gentle movements.
HAIR OIL N°1

A healthy, balanced life
Hair loss and its treatment also inevitably involve a balanced diet to ensure the right nutritional intake for proper hair care. It's essential to consume animal or vegetable proteins with every meal, as they help synthesize keratin, one of the main constituents of hair. Omega-3 and trace elements are also particularly useful for strengthening hair and slowing down hair loss. Dietary supplements are often a good ally in the fight against hair loss. They compensate for deficiencies that affect the general condition of the hair by offering a synergy of bio-available active ingredients, i.e. those that can be assimilated by the body. The drawback is that hair loss resumes as soon as you stop taking them.
