Hair loss

  • If you think you are suffering from hair loss, you could first collect some hairs before your consultation with your dermatologist. It is best for you to start doing this the day after you wash your hair.
  • Tying the hair tightly back puts a strain on the hair. With hair loss, a ponytail is inappropriate due to the strong mechanical strains on the hair roots that this entails and should rather be avoided.
  • Stress is seen as a possible trigger of hair loss. Those affected can combat it using regular relaxation techniques.
  • You should avoid brushing or combing your hair too frequently or too vigorously.
  • The best method of drying hair is to let it dry by itself. If you use a hair dryer, please ensure the temperature is lukewarm.
  • A varied and healthy diet rich in vitamins can help to give you healthy and beautiful hair.
