What it is and what it is for?
Hair loss is common and can affect hair temporarily or permanently. The fall can occur due to natural causes. That is, the hair has a life cycle and over time it falls off. But it can also be caused by stress, anxiety, changes in the season, genetics and lack of nutrients or fruit of certain diets.
In this way, there are fall protection treatments that have the power to strengthen and protect hair so that hair loss is easily and effectively mitigated and prevented.
What are the most used ingredients and their function?
Anti-hair loss products are composed of several ingredients that, when combined, improve the hair's resistance to everyday situations, preventing hair loss.
One of the most common ingredients is kopexil, which is an ingredient originally used to treat high blood pressure, which had the counterpart of increasing body hair growth, which was later reused for anti-hair loss treatments.
Another very common ingredient is hyaluronic salt, which promotes hydration of hair follicles and reduces irritation, making hair more resistant to washing and brushing.
Which types exist and what are their differences?
The most common form of treatment is shampoos, which interact directly with the hair, facilitating the absorption of the ingredients. In addition, they are easy to use, just like Genesis Bain Nutri-Fortifiant by Kérastase.
Conditioners, normally used in conjunction with the respective shampoos, are a great complement to hair washing, as they reinforce the treatment, while fulfilling its main function, such as Genesis Fondant Renforçateur by Kérastase.
Masks, which follow the same principle as conditioners, are a great complement to treatment and washing, just like Genesis Masque Reconstituant.
The ampoules, which are a more concentrated treatment and act more focused on the scalp, act directly on the hair follicles, such as Aminexil Clinical 5 Femmes Anti-Chute by Dercos Vichy. Ampoules require a more specific application, and the instructions provided by the brand itself must be followed.
There are also serum hair loss treatments, which are similar to ampoule treatments, but are not individual doses, as Hair Rituel Le Sérum Revitalisant Fortifiant by Sisley.
There are also food supplements, which aim to provide some of the vitamins and nutrients needed for healthy hair, such as Vitalfan Antichute Progressive by René Furterer.
What is the most used packaging format and what are the most frequent sizes?
In the case of shampoos, the most used packaging are bottles and tubes, and their size may vary between 200ml and 1000ml.
In the case of conditioners and masks, the most used packaging is tubes and jars, with sizes ranging between 150ml and 1000ml and 200ml and 400ml, respectively.
Ampoules are a treatment more focused on individual doses, usually vary between 5ml and 10ml, the most frequent being 6ml.
Serums are a treatment similar to ampoules. However, its packaging is usually in droppers and its quantity can vary between 60ml and 90ml.
Food supplements are in tablet, sachet or pot.
What to take into account when choosing a hair loss treatment?
First of all, you should think about what type of product you are most comfortable with, that is, if you prefer a shampoo-based treatment or if you prefer a more concentrated treatment such as ampoules or serum.
If you have thin or oily hair, you should look for a product that contains actives that nourish and protect the hair from factors that can cause hair loss and breakage.
If you have thick or dry hair, look for a product with nourishing action to replace all the nutrients lost on a daily basis, leaving the strands even softer, shiny and healthy.
What are the recommendations for use and tips?
It is very important to make the right choice of product, that is, evaluate your hair type and look for a treatment that suits you.
You should also always pay attention to the treatment routine advised by the brand of the chosen product, taking it into consideration and strictly following it.
If you choose a more concentrated treatment, when applying it, make sure that there are no residues of other products that can cause unwanted reactions.
What are the pros and cons of using a hair loss treatment?
With the regular use of an anti-hair loss treatment, you will be able to significantly reduce the volume of hair lost, thus giving you more composed and healthy hair.
However, if used excessively or incorrectly, these treatments can cause irritation or even worsen the condition of the problem.
