Hair fall is part of everyday life. You might be wondering why your hair falls out in the shower and clogs up your shower drain. You might find it falls out more when you brush it too. The fact is although there are many causes of hair fall including; stress, seasonality changes and hair-fall due to breakage, ultimately, hair fall is totally normal. On average we lose around 50 – 100 strands a day, if you begin to shed significantly more than that or notice that hair isn't growing back, then this may be a sign that you need further treatment or support from a trichologist.
In this advice blog we are taking a closer look at the causes of hair-fall and how the Kerastase Genisis range is designed to combat hair-fall by reducing breakage and providing you with stronger hair. The key thing to remember is, when it comes to hair-fall there are so many potential triggers. Before we look at how to remedy the situation let's look at some of the main causes.
The natural hair cycle process is responsible for those 50 – 100 strands of hair lost per day, as the bulb becomes progressively detached from the scalp and falls out.
However, if you’re experiencing more hair fall than usual, there may be other causes for your altered hair renewal process.
Hair-fall in women has become an increasingly frequent concern with many women experiencing some degree of hair-fall at least once in their lifetime and this can be linked to several different factors, including stress or seasonality making it difficult to identify a specific catalyst. This means more women than ever are searching for the best treatment for hair-fall.
The most common causes for hair-fall include environmental factors (like pollution and UV rays), external stressors and heat damage. These can lead to your hair breaking off mid-shaft, resulting in a reduced number of strands and weakened hair overall. With breakage, the hair is still growing from the bulb, but daily exposure to external aggressors can trigger inflammation of the follicle s well, which is bad news for your dreams of healthy, strong hair. Other factors that can be responsible for hair-fall include your diet, especially if you follow a restrictive one that doesn't give your hair the nutrients it needs to thrive. Then throw in excessive use of styling tools which can cause dryness and weakens the hair shaft, which can lead to increased rate of breakage that causes hair to fall.

As you now know, there are several likely causes for hair-fall, most commonly environmental factors, aggressive stressors and hormonal changes. Another common culprit? Using heat when styling and not protecting your hair from heat-related damage. Heat styling can damage and weaken the hair shaft, leading to an increased rate of breakage. This can result in hair breaking off in the middle, leading to weaker strands that are less resistant to external stressors. If you’re guilty of using heat without protection, now’s the time to update your hair care habits to minimise hair-fall and damage for good. Other ways you can help stop hair fall include eating a well-balanced diet. You should be consuming plenty of vitamins and nutrients, to give your hair (and body) the sustenance it needs to be healthy and strong.
