Haarausfall Ursachen

What are the reasons for my hair loss?

• Current hair loss are, for example, genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, unbalanced nutrition, Diseases, side effects of medication, stress Or car reactions.
• Dermatologists recognize excessive hair loss by counting the hair in the growth phase (anagen) and resting phase (telogen).
• If the proportion of telogenic hair is over 20 %, the increased hair loss indicates.
• The diagnosis is made more difficult if the hair loss is triggered by two or more different causes.
• A good remedy for hair loss* should be very compatible and effective.

With a trained look at the head and scalp, dermatologists can say quite exactly what kind of hair loss is available. Typical for men are the recessed hair loss caused by hereditary hair loss. Women are often affected by diffuse hair loss on the entire head. The circular round Hair loss Or alopecia areata leads to bare spots in the middle of women and men. But what are the causes of my hair loss? 

1. Hereditary hair loss

Hereditary hair loss or androgenetic alopecia is the most widespread form of hair loss. The most important cause is the genetic misrepriation of hair follicles. False programming means that the hair follicles are sensitive to androgen, dihydrotestosterone, abbreviated DHT. DHT hinders the cell metabolism of the hair. The permanent disorder of cell metabolism on the hair roots leads to hair loss.

In men, hair loss releases certain head parts. In parallel to the withdrawal of the forehead hair border and the training of receding councils, the hair in the apex region is cleared. The merging of the bare spots creates bald heads over the years. For women it usually occurs with the beginning of menopause and Around the menopause to hair loss due to an imbalance of the hormone level. The hair density of affected women is noticeably reduced in the apex area.

2. No clear causes of hair loss: circular hair loss

Circular hair loss, subject -language alopecia areata, can literally occur overnight. In the edge area of ​​the circular, hair -free skin zones there are short, broken hair that run thinly to the scalp. The bare spots are smooth, non-scaly and have intact hair follicles. Circular hair loss is not so common in relation to hereditary hair loss and more often in women, in children and adolescents.

The cause of circular hair loss seems to be inflammation of the hair roots as a result of an attack on your own immune defense. Certain immune cells "paralyze" the metabolism of the cells and thus the growth of the hair. Typically, hair loss is very suddenly. The hair follicles often recover without treatment, so that the hair grows back on its own after a certain period of time. Basically, a healing of Alopecia Area is not possible. This hair loss can occur again and again.

3. A wide variety of causes: diffuse hair loss

Diffuse hair loss affects the entire main hair. Overall, the hair becomes thinner, shower (fewer hair density) and often light spots are also shown. However, diffuse hair loss does not lead to bald. The possible causes are varied:

Hormonal weight weights

Stronger hair loss (more than 100 hair a day) can be done Hormonal imbalances are caused: when stopping the anti-baby pill or after pregnancy if less estrogens circulate in the organism.

Iron deficiency

Women in particular are affected by hair loss as a result of iron lack. A blood count brings valid data on the amount of trace elements such as iron, but also zinc and selenium that is relevant for hair growth.

Diseases

Sudden hair loss can be one of the symptoms of underfunction of the thyroid gland or diabetes mellitus. All disorders that have a negative impact on metabolic cycles often also reach the cell metabolism of the hair follicles.

Cytostatics

Cytostatics are mainly used in the chemotherapy of cancer, where they are supposed to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. At the same time, they affect cell metabolism on the hair roots and cause both hair loss and hair breakage. If there is no massive damage to the hair root, the hair will grow again after chemotherapy ended.

stress

Stress, as a result of excessive mental and physical stress, presumably leads to attachment of messenger substances such as noradrenaline on the hair roots. The hair follicles interrupt the growth phase of your hair early. And hair loss occurs. The Best method to avoid hair loss through stress factors is not to have stress. (Which is usually easier said than done.)

Medication

In principle, medication can also trigger diffuse hair loss. The mechanisms are still unclear in detail. But they can generally be used as Changes in certain metabolic processes by the active ingredients of the medication understand. The ability of the hair follicles for hair production is weakened. If the medication is discontinued or exchanged by medication from other substance classes, a new hair cycle usually begins.

Crohn's disease

The chronic inflammatory bowel disease Crohn prevents the supply of division-active hair root cells with nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat), vitamins and trace elements. Where there are no nutrients, there is no hair growth.

Nutrition

Hair loss also occurs parallel to malnutrition, especially with hunger, bulimia or anorexia (anorexia). All processes that damage the functionality and health of the organism very often also affect the hair follicles and the overall condition of the hair.

Eine ausgewogene Ernährung ist die Basis für gesundes Haarwachstum. The German Nutrition Society makes 10 suggestions.

Hair loss causes: conclusion

The reasons that lead to hair loss and finally to hair loss are individual and very diverse: genetic predisposition, autoimmun weakness, metabolic disorders, organic dysfunctions. Men tend to and androgenetic alopecia more. Women are more affected by diffuse hair loss. The most important finding: hair is not sick and cannot get sick either because they consist of inanimate horn cells (keraties). It is the highly sensitive hair -forming hair follicles that react to certain influences with the demolition of hair production. The result is hair loss.

Psychological consequences of hair loss

For most people, hair is part of their identity, a sign of attractiveness, health and physical integrity. In the event of excessive hair loss, the self -image suffers and not infrequently also that psyche. Men get better with hair loss due to social acceptance overall. Equipped with healthy self -confidence and increasing age think: I am not sick or disfigured, I only have less hair than others. For many women, hair loss and threatening hair loss is an omnipresent risk. Women suffer from hair loss more than men and are permanently looking for an active ingredient that can reduce hair loss or promote hair growth.

Therapy to reduce hair loss

Due to their specific mechanisms of action, medication for hair loss usually only appear in one direction and in a concrete indication. In many cases, however, a determination of the causes of hair loss is not possible. We are therefore looking for a remedy that can help with many types of hair loss* because it does not combat the disorders, but compensates by promoting cell metabolism on the hair roots.

In contrast to a pharmaceutical active ingredient, thiocyn hair serum "works" non -specific. The patented Thiocyanate activity is activated and strengthens the hair roots so that they are less susceptible to influences that disturb or inhibit hair growth.

Multi -talent thiocyanate

Thiocyanate is a flexible, the body's molecule: it has a positive impact on essential enzyme activities, the regulation of micro-flora, cell membrane activity and transport processes of the body's own molecules. Thiocyanate has been an essential part of cell metabolism since the beginning of biological evolution. As the most important part of the patented Thiocyanate activity from Thiocyn Haarserum, it helps to prevent it from shaking or thinner hair and hair loss*  actively fight.

Questions to our service team

Was ist die Ursache für Haarausfall bei Frauen nach der Schwangerschaft?

During pregnancy, the female organism forms an above -average amount of estrogen to promote the growth of the child. With the estrogen thrust, the cell metabolism is also stimulated on the hair roots and the growth phase of many hair is extended. If the estrogen level drops after birth, the growth of many hair, which is artificially extended, is ended. More hair fails. This hair loss and thinner hair after pregnancy is usually just a temporary effect.

What role do diseases of the scalp for hair loss play?

Hair loss can occur as a side effect of diseases or inflammation of the scalp. In order to stop hair loss and avoid a scarring alopecia, medical treatment by the doctor or dermatologist is urgently advised.

What is the cause of my "fur change"?

The seasonal change of fur, or rather the hair change in autumn, shows itself as a periodically occurring diffuse hair loss. The cause is a special genetic programming of the hair follicles that react to light or V-radiation in the summer months. Finally, a lot of hair follicles will move from the growth phase to the resting phase in autumn. Your hair will then be more or less loose in the scalp for a few weeks and fail on its own, through brushes or hair washing.

Does hair loss always mean hair loss?

If the hair follicles are intact and the cell metabolism is not disturbed, hair keeps growing. However, before new hair sprouts, the hair follicles always go into a resting phase. The temporary hairlessness is not a hair loss.

Which medical therapy in the event of hair loss is the best?

In hereditary hair loss, for example, can rarely be successfully treated because its cause cannot be eliminated, namely certain hair follicles that are sensitive to DHT.

In principle, diffuse hair loss is in principle reversible if its causes are omitted. Since stress, feverish infections or short -term hormonal weight weights are often limited as the causes of hair loss, the initiation of medical therapy hardly makes any sense. In any case, it is advisable to strengthen the hair roots of renewable hair, for example with the patented Thiocyanate activity in Thiocyn hair serum.

Is the hair transplant a suitable therapy?

Even a hair transplant does not treat hair loss. However, it is good for self -confidence because the hair loss is less, until it is no longer visible.

Is daily hair washing is a cause of hair loss?

As a rule, a diffuse hair loss is noticeable three months after the growth disorder. The hair is only loose in the hair follicle and are solved by the scalp by mechanical stimuli such as styling, brushes or hair. But these activities are not The cause of the hair loss.
