Hair loss and growth – causes, solutions and strengthening treatment
Hair loss and hair growth – causes, hormones and effective solutions
Hair loss is one of the most common scalp and hair concerns – and one of the most misunderstood. Hair loss is a natural part of everyday life, but when hair loss increases, hair becomes thinner, or the scalp becomes visible, there are often hormonal, stress-related, or nutritional factors at play.
Hair growth isn’t just about shampoo. It’s about scalp circulation, microbiome, hormonal balance, and where your hair is in the natural growth cycle. That’s why effective hair loss treatment always starts with understanding the cause – not just covering up the symptom.
In this comprehensive guide, we'll go over the most common causes of hair loss, how to recognize different situations, and how you can support hair growth safely and long-term. This page serves as a comprehensive guide – and each section will take you to an in-depth article.

Stress-related hair loss
Severe mental or physical stress can cause a large number of hairs to enter the resting phase at the same time. This is called telogen effluvium. Typically, hair loss begins 2–3 months after the stressful period.
Most often, the condition is temporary, but supporting the balance of the scalp will speed up recovery.

Pregnancy and hormonal hair loss
During pregnancy, estrogen levels keep hair in the growth phase longer than normal. After giving birth, as hormone levels drop, hair begins to shed more. Menopause, birth control pills, and thyroid function can also affect hair density.
Hormonal hair loss often requires patience, but active scalp care supports new growth.

Hair loss in women and men
Hereditary hair loss manifests itself differently in women and men. In men, it often appears as a receding hairline at the temples, while in women, it appears as a more extensive thinning on the crown.
Although the genetic predisposition cannot be eliminated, treatment routines that activate blood circulation to the scalp and support the growth cycle can significantly slow down the process.

Splitting and thinning hair
Not all hair thinning is actually hair loss. If your hair is breaking, it could be due to dryness, protein imbalance, or chemical stress.
Products that strengthen the structure and protect the hair fiber help restore a thicker feel.

Graying hair – can the process be slowed down?
Hair graying is associated with a decrease in melanin production. This process is natural, but oxidative stress and nutritional deficiencies can accelerate it.
Gentle scalp care and an antioxidant-rich routine support overall hair health.
