Spring has arrived and it is normal to notice more shedding. So, don’t panic, because as explained by the stylist Noelia Jiménez, at this time there is a regenerative cycle. “In spring there is a more intense but punctual shedding. It does not mean that we are losing more hair than we will recover, but that more follicles enter the renewal phase at the same time. Unlike autumn, where shedding tends to be more prolonged, the spring shedding is shorter but more noticeable, it concentrates in a few weeks and gives the impression of greater loss.”
Causes? There are many, from hormonal changes and the accumulated stress of previous months, to sun exposure, temperature changes, nutritional deficiencies (iron, B vitamins), or the excessive use of heat styling tools in winter. Additionally, it is worth remembering that “often shedding is not only from now, but the consequence of what has happened months ago.”
However, prevention is better than cure and as the stylist advises, anticipate and start using shampoos or lotions specifically for shedding. Also, it is recommended to go to your trusted hairdresser to help determine whether it is truly seasonal or due to more complex factors. Regarding diet, “we are what we eat. If you eat a balanced diet and include foods rich in vitamins and properties, your hair will also be well nourished and you will notice it has more thickness, shine and texture. If, on the other hand, you do not hydrate or eat well, it is possible that it weakens and frizzes more than usual.”
Noelia also emphasizes how extremely important it is to keep the scalp clean and healthy, in addition to using the right products. Especially at this time, with “gentle but balancing shampoos, anti-hair loss lotions or serums as a supplement (not a miracle), and lightweight masks that do not weigh hair down.”
The best products to prevent hair loss
Vichy Dercos Aminexil Clinical R.E.G.E.N. Booster.
Vichy Dercos Aminexil Clinical R.E.G.E.N. Booster. It is one of the most complete treatments because it combines anti-hair loss efficacy with growth stimulation. Its formula with a 1.5% Aminexil focuses on improving the anchorage of the hair to the scalp. It also incorporates ginger and niacinamide to reinforce that action and stimulate growth. You will need to be consistent (and patient) but the effects are noticeable at 12 weeks (and they are well worth it).
Iraltone AGA Plus.
Iraltone AGA Plus. In this case, the focus is internal. This supplement is designed for chronic hormonal-related hair loss, one of the most challenging to treat with topical products alone. It includes ingredients such as Serenoa repens and Cucurbita pepo, which act directly on that origin; and biotin, zinc, copper and cysteine, which help to keep hair in normal condition and reinforce the hair fiber.
Nuggela & Sulé Premium Shampoo No.1.
Nuggela & Sulé Premium Shampoo No.1. It is another well-known for its main ingredient, the extract of red onion rich in quercetin, which is associated with an improvement in hair vitality and the prevention of shedding.
