Thin hair? Fine hair?

• The ideal of many women: a beautiful mane.
• Winning hair density and thin hair stand in the way of this wish.
• Thin hair is a result of excessive hair loss, but also fatigue of the hair follicles.
• Styling and volume tips only help to a certain extent.

Thin hair? At some point the point comes where women who have thin hair, more precisely thinned hair, no longer want to experiment with new hairstyles, with a new hair color or a volume shampoo. Because hair care and styling cover a lot, but do not prevent hair loss, not the miniaturization of the hair and the unmistakable feeling that more and more hair is falling than regrowe. Is it possible to counteract?

What is thin hair?

Thin hair means: The number of hair or the hair density on the head decreases. The hair dress is gradually presenting itself with less and less fullness and volume. The hair is cleared.

Thin hair or fine hair?

Thin hair is not Fine hair. Fine hair refers to the diameter of a single hair. A hair with a diameter of 0.03 to 0.05 mm is fine. Hair is considered thick from 0.08 mm. Make fine hair thicker, this goes to a certain degree with care products that lay a protective film for every fine hair, for example from silk proteins.

Causes of thin hair

If the hair density does, it is advisable to speak to the doctor. The diagnosis of dermatologists is often: diffuse hair loss or androgenetic alopecia or hereditary hair loss. We also have to pay tribute to age. All body organs are more difficult to regenerate at the latest from 30. Also age hair follicles.

1. Diffuser hair loss - over the entire head

One speaks of diffuse hair loss when more than 100 hair fails a day over a longer period of time. As Causes of hair loss in women Consider hormone changes or iron deficiency; In women and men: drug-efficient effects, thyroid diseases, feverish infections, scalic diseases, unbalanced nutrition or metabolic disorders. Last but not least, stress among those affected can lead to thrust -proof hair loss.

2nd hereditary hair loss

Hereditary hair loss can be easily read on the hair loss pattern. Men see how receding receding on their temples; A tonsure is created on the back of the head. From mid 30, the men's hair begins to clear on the top of the head. When the hair loss zones merge together, a bald head arises. In women, hereditary hair loss is triggered around 50 at the beginning of menopause. There is a creeping hair loss in the apex area.

Both men and women are affected by a declining hair density because genetically incorrectly wrong hair follicles are sensitive to a descendant of the sex hormone testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). That has two consequences:

Miniaturizing the hair, fluff hair

New hair is no longer growing so strongly. Instead of “normal” terminal hair, numerous colorless and, above all, thinner fluff hair become visible. Falling hair is only 1 cm long and 0.04 mm thick; They miniaturize, so to speak. And they disappear completely when the hair follicles set their work.

Slaying hair density, thinning hair

Due to the persistent process of miniaturization, the hair stock or hair density decreases. Shorter hair cycles combined with premature hair loss lead to light and showered hair.

3. Fatigue of the hair follicles

Another reason for the thinning of the hair dress is the increasing age. The hair follicles find it more and more difficult to cope with in the course of life, with harmful metabolic side products, for example oxygen radicals. When the hair has failed, the hair follicles usually run through a rest phase of two to three months until a new hair cycle begins. The regeneration phases can also expand four, five or even six months from 50 years.

Psychological consequences of hair loss and thin hair

Men and women react very differently to their hair loss. We can say that young men certainly suffer more from hair loss than older men who arrange themselves at some point with their hereditary hair loss. This is probably also due to the high social acceptance: men and hair loss, that somehow belongs together.

In general, however, it can be said that men with short -moored residual hair or bald head are easily considered attractive. Hair loss and thinner hair in women, on the other hand, completely questions her female self -image. Women define themselves through beautiful, strong, healthy hair. Your ideal idea: a mane.

The best tips for thin hair

Our tips: Do not strain the hair too much in hair care and styling and, above all, support healthy hair growth.

More volume with hot air? Even better: increase the hair density.

1. The right hairstyle

Thin hair looks fuller and more beautiful due to a good cut. The hairdresser will always recommend women to a shorter cut with thin and fine hair, especially recommend the right hair care products so that cuts and hairstyles come into their own as desired.

If women are dissatisfied with the quality of their hair or their hairstyles, this is often due to the use of false care products. This is how women who have fine hair often use products for structured hair. Their ingredients cover the hair to hide damage to the outer shell. Fine hair However, this complains and hang down smoothly instead of building volume.

2. Protect the scalp

In the event of hair loss, gentle hair care is particularly important. The biggest problem when washing hair is not the effect of shampoo on the hair, but on the hair roots in the scalp.

Washing hair cleans the hair from skin valley, skin particles, body salts or environmental influences. Nevertheless, the scalp is loaded with every hair wash. It is therefore best to maintain the scalp. The care of fine hair is a special challenge, because fine hair is more on the head and greases faster.

A largely unknown hair problem lies in the fact that with every hair washing is washed out an important the body's own molecule that promotes the regeneration of the hair. This molecule is called Thiocyanate. The Noreiz skin-calming care shampoo Cleans the scalp and hair thoroughly and donates Thiocyanate.

3. The right nutrition

Our diet should give the organism everything that is necessary: ​​energy (carbohydrates), structure (proteins that become keratin), not least functional substances such as vitamins, for example biotin, trace elements such as iron or thiocyanate, which can be found, for example, in milk products, broccoli or cress. Dietary supplements (NEM) can compensate for certain deficiency situations.

Often neglected for optimizing nutrition: the adequate absorption of water. Any fabric that is important for cell division and cell growth of hair cells can only be released into water via the blood system to the hair or the hair follicles. The right amount of water is individually different and is between 1.5 and 2 liters per day.

4. The active ingredient against thin hair: thiocyanate

Thiocyanate is a natural molecule that accompanies the development of life and water from the beginning and is therefore of great importance for the human organism - for cell metabolism, also on the hair roots where the hair is formed. THIOCYANAT has a cell stabilizing and anti-oxidative on the hair-forming cells. The growth of the hair is naturally stimulated.

As part of a balanced diet, we record Thiocyanate through dairy products, many types of cabbage such as broccoli, sweet potatoes and cashew nuts or cress. If we lack Thiocyanate, we can complement it from the outside.

With the patented Thiocyanate activity in Thiocyn Hairerum, it is possible to strengthen the hair roots from the outside, to protect you compared to growth-stinging influences and to normalize the hair cycle of renewable hair.

With the optimal course, the thinned out hair dress becomes denser again. With a clinical-dermatological application test over a period of 36 weeks, a large part of the subjects reported less hair loss and significantly denser hair.

By the way: Since medium that falls the thinner hair as a result of androgenetically due to the hair loss, should be used permanently, it is particularly important for women that these agents do not intervene in hormonally controlled metabolic processes.

Frequent questions for our service team

Do I now have fine hair or thin hair?

"Fine hair" refers to the diameter of a hair. Fine hair has a diameter of around 0.05 mm. We speak of strong hair from 0.08 mm.

The term "thin hair" means the hair density per square centimeter. We have the biggest hair density at a young age. The thicker the hair and the denser the hair dress, the greater the volume of the hair.

My hair is thin, but I have no hair loss ...

They are probably affected by hereditary hair loss. This does not mean that you must have an excessive, i.e. striking hair loss - with more than 100 hair a day for many weeks and months. The real problem is the creeping hair loss: when the hair follicle extends, miniaturizing or adjusting the work, the hair density decreases.

If the hair is over the temples (receding recesses) and/or on the back of the head (tonsur), this is information on hereditary hair loss of the male type. In hereditary hair loss, women are affected by thin hair in the apex area.

Diffuse hair loss is basically reversible if the causes are omitted or treated. Sehr feines, teils flaumiges Haar wäre prinzipiell ein gutes Zeichen, weil ein neuer Haarzyklus beginnt.

Can you measure thin hair?

Yes. However, thin hair is a relative size - depending on the hair color. In blond -haired people - women and men - we count an average of 150,000 hair, black -haired people have around 110,000, brunette over 100,000 and redhead over 75,000. If a red -haired woman fails an average of 300 hair over a period of three months a day, she lost almost a third of her hair in 90 days (300 x 90 days = 27,000 hair). Blond -haired women would "only" lose a fifth of their hair.

Does the color of the hair lead to hair loss?

More and more women are using tints and hair colors, not only to cover gray hair, but above all to change the natural hair color. For a permanent color, the pigments of the hair are oxidized by bleaching. Especially when using hydrogen peroxide, skin irritation can occur. The outer shell of the hair is also attacked with repeated coloring. Colored procedures do not lead to excessive hair loss.

How often can a hair grow back?

A hair can grow again and again, provided its hair follicle is intact. The average growth of hair is about 1 to 1.5 cm per month, approx. 12 to 15 cm a year. Depending on the genetic predisposition, a hair grows 0.3 mm every day and an average of 4 to 5 years until your hair follicles end the growth phase. Hairs grow in women as a result of the “hair growth remedy” estrogen for longer - for up to 8 years.
