Definition, causes and course of hair loss
We have around 100, 000 hairs on our heads. Even if you find a thin tuft in the brush, that's normal. But if one loses hair without brushing and combing, for example every morning hair is clearly visible on the pillow, dermatologists speak of excessive hair loss . Stress, nutrient deficiency or hormone changes (pregnancy, menopause, stopping the pill) can be the reason.

It is important to wash and care for his hair properly, not only in the hair loss prophylaxis. Mild shampoos based on plants and only lukewarm water are suitable for this. It is best to wash your hair only two or three times a week, and rinse it out twice as long after each wash as you have washed it. Changing showers activate the metabolism and the circulation of the scalp. To do this, after washing several times, rinse alternately with warm and cool water and stop warm.
