Hair loss is a common situation for men and women, a source of anxieties and worries not only related to aesthetics. Although contained hair loss is an absolutely physiological phenomenon, it is always good to pay attention to the body's signals to intervene promptly if there is an alteration in normal conditions.
The causes can be multiple: environmental, genetic or pathological. There is certainly a predisposition to hair loss but, in addition, external factors linked to incorrect eating habits, stress or hormonal changes can also occur and, in the case of women, manifest in particular during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Furthermore, it happens that hair loss is caused by heavy pharmacological treatments or, again, pathologies such as anemia, hypo- or hyperthyroidism and alopecia. Knowing the cause of hair loss is essential to set up a targeted therapy which considers, at the same time as treatment, the importance of a healthy and balanced diet and a regulated lifestyle. Smoking and alcohol – it is worth remembering – are also enemies of hair.
