Hair loss is a natural phenomenon, but when it becomes excessive, it can cause stress and loss of confidence. In Switzerland, many people are looking to understand what to do to prevent hair loss before considering more serious medical treatments. Good news! Some simple habits, applied daily, can make a real difference. In this article, discover the common causes of hair loss and the essential steps to maintain your hair, day after day.
Every day we lose between 50 and 100 hairs, a perfectly normal process. However, more significant, prolonged or localized hair loss may indicate a problem such as alopecia or an underlying cause: hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, chronic stress and lack of sleep , scalp pathologies or even overly aggressive hair care.
In these cases, it is essential to speak to a professional. Our hair clinic in Geneva offers personalized diagnostics, carried out during a consultation with a hair specialist .
Avoid washing (with shampoo) too often or with very hot water. Favour gentle shampoos, without sulphates or silicones, adapted to your scalp type. Massage gently without rubbing vigorously: an attacked scalp is a weakened scalp.
Use a brush with soft pins or a wide-tooth comb, and always start with the ends. Never brush wet hair carelessly: it is more fragile and brittle at this time.
Straightening irons, blow-dryers that are too hot and repeated colouring can damage the hair fibre and sensitise the scalp. Space these treatments out and opt for restorative treatments in between.
Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase to reduce friction. Tie your hair loosely, and avoid metal elastics.
Emotional stress is a well-known trigger for hair loss, particularly in the form of telogen effluvium. Give yourself time to relax, pay attention to the quality of your sleep and engage in regular physical activity.
