Hair loss can have many different underlying causes. We offer free consultations where we examine your hair and find out what possibilities you have to counteract your hair loss.
Suddenly suffering from hair loss or seeing hair begin to thin out can be very difficult. Hair loss, also called alopecia, can be caused by many different causes. Heredity is the most common reason and hair often begins to fall off as early as the twenties. At hair loss in men the hair begins to disappear at the temples first, and the hairline then moves backwards and upwards. On the top of the head it is common to get a bald spot that is completely devoid of hair. In addition to heredity, illness, trauma and stress, vitamin deficiency or various types of medications can also lead to hair loss.
Hair loss in women and men have many different underlying causes such as hereditary hair loss, diet, psychological or physical trauma, hair disorders or various medications but in the vast majority of cases there is a suitable solution.

Hair loss can manifest itself in different ways — hair may become thinner, bald spots may appear, or hair may disappear completely on certain parts of the scalp. Usually, hair loss occurs gradually over time, but in the case of illness, infection or trauma, it can pass quickly.
Hereditary hair loss is the most common cause in men and depends on the hormone DHT, which weakens the hair follicles over time. Also, women can suffer from hair loss, often as a result of hormonal changes, iron deficiency, thyroid problems or conditions such as PCOS.
Hair loss can also be caused by various hair diseases, such as eczema on the scalp or alopecia areata, which causes bald patches. In many cases, treatment exists that can slow hair loss or stimulate new hair growth if measures are put in place in time.
What can happen if you lose a lot of hair? Losing hair and suffering from hair loss can be difficult for many. Why do you lose so much hair? If you notice that you are losing more hair than usual, it may be due to several factors — for example, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiency or disease state. If, on the other hand, you notice that you are losing hair when you pull it, or that the amount increases suddenly, it may be worth finding out the cause.
It is normal to lose hair, but how much hair is normal to lose? The average person loses between 50 and 100 hairs per day. This process is a natural part of the hair growth cycle, which occurs in three phases: a growth phase (anagen), a transition phase (catagen), and a resting phase (telogen), in which the hair shaft eventually falls off to be replaced by a new one.
Yes, it's perfectly normal to lose hair when you pull it — especially if the hair is at the end of its natural life cycle. The hairs that are ready to let go often come loose when you brush your hair, wash it, or simply lightly pull your fingers through it.
Hereditary alopecia is also known as androgenetic alopecia and is caused by genetic factors and affects both men and women. It is by far the most common form of hair loss for men and is caused by a genetic sensitivity to the hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). You usually get progressively thinner hair and receding hairline.One common myth is that it is only genes on your mother's side that cause androgenic alopecia. There is no evidence for this, so you don't necessarily have to be concerned if your grandpa is thin-haired.
Some diseases cause you to lose hair spot-on like alopecia areata, you can even lose all the hair on your head if you have Alopecia totalis. Some diseases affect the balance of the body and thus cause hair loss. This applies, for example, to diabetes, thyroid disorders and iron deficiency where the condition affects metabolism and nutrient supply to the hair roots. In the treatment of the disease, hair loss is reduced in many cases.
Nutrient deficiency is a common cause of hair loss. It can be a determining factor in people experiencing hair loss. Often it is women who are affected and not uncommon in the context of anorexia or bulimia. Both of these medical diagnoses create a very unhealthy hormonal rearrangement in the body that almost always leads to thin hair or hair loss.It is common to have a lack of iron, zinc, magnesium, protein or essential vitamins. When the body does not get enough nutrition, the hair follicles are affected, which can cause the hair to become thinner, weaker, or fall off.
Hair loss is common during periods when hormones change, which usually occurs during puberty, pregnancy, after childbirth or in connection with menopause. What happens is that the body's change in the hormonal balance affects the growth cycle of the hair follicles causing more and more hairs to enter the resting phase and begin to fall off.
A very common cause of hair loss is that the body is exposed to high loads. Stress affects the body in several different ways, and even the hair can suffer. With prolonged physical or psychological stress, many hair follicles often go into a resting phase, as a result of which the hair begins to thin out. Often it is only noticeable a few months after the onset of stress by the fact that the hair falls off evenly over the entire scalp.
Hair loss can sometimes be a side effect of certain medications such as blood thinners, beta blockers, birth control pills, antidepressants, lithium or chemotherapy drugs. The amount of hair you lose varies from person to person and in many cases the hair grows back when the treatment is finished.
Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss. Many people mistake the word for being the same as alopecia areata, which is not true.
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease while alopecia literally means hair loss.
Similar to the use of heating tools, tight hairstyles can tear the hair. But having your hair put up in a ponytail or braid for a few days here and there will not cause hair loss. If, on the other hand, you have a noticeably tight knot very often (e.g. daily for longer periods of time), you can permanently damage the scalp. But it will take a lot more — so don't worry.
The best thing you can do to avoid hair loss is to have your hair relatively loosely set up so as not to damage the hair quality or scalp too much.
Yes, lost hair can often grow back — but it depends on the cause. Temporary hair loss due to stress, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal changes usually grows back, while hair lost in hereditary hair loss requires treatment to regain growth.
Many believe that you can get thin-haired by cap or that one cap can cause hair loss, but that's a myth. The hair follicles get their oxygen from the blood circulation, not from the air -- so wearing a cap doesn't affect growth. In contrast, prolonged friction from a tight headdress can wear on the hairs temporarily, but it does not lead to permanent caps-hair loss. So no, one does not lose hair by cap.
How can I prevent hair loss? In order to prevent hair loss, start with a healthy lifestyle: eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially iron, zinc and biotin. Reduce stress through exercise, yoga or meditation, as stress can affect hair growth. Use gentle hair care products and avoid excessive heat and chemical treatments. Book a consultation with us for professional advice and early action if you notice signs of hair loss.
Hereditary hair loss often manifests itself through gradual thinning of the hair at the base of the head or receding hairline, usually from the age of 20—30. If close relatives have experienced similar hair loss, there is a high probability that it is genetic. To prevent hair loss, you can start treatment early with, for example, finasteride, or other proven methods against hair loss.
Normally, we lose about 100 to 200 hairs per day. In some periods, hair loss may be more severe. However, if you lose more than 200 hairs a day for a long period of time, it may be useful to check it out.
It can be about a hormonal disorder or some underlying disease. A hair grows for about 6 years and then goes into a resting phase of 1 — 3 months before it falls off.
Yes, it's perfectly normal to lose hair when you pull it — especially if the hair is at the end of its natural life cycle. The hairs that are ready to let go often come loose when you brush your hair, wash it, or simply lightly pull your fingers through it.
Whether you can regain lost hair depends on the cause of the hair loss. In the case of temporary hair loss, for example due to stress, illness or nutritional deficiency, the hair often grows back as the body recovers. Hereditary hair loss, on the other hand, is permanent, but it is possible to slow down the process and in many cases stimulate new growth with treatments such as medicines, our hair treatment or hair transplantation.
Which treatment works best against hair loss depends on the underlying cause. Some of the most common and proven options are minoxidil (over-the-counter medicine that stimulates hair growth), finasteride (a prescription tablet for men that inhibits the hormone DHT) as well as our hair treatment, in which the body's own blood plasma is used to activate the hair follicles. To find the treatment that is right for you, it is important to undergo a medical assessment and consult with a specialist about your individual circumstances and goals.
When investigating hair loss, blood tests are often taken to rule out underlying causes. Common samples include blood status, iron values (ferritin), thyroid samples (TSH, T4), vitamin D, vitamin B12 as well as sometimes hormone samples such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. By analyzing these values, the doctor can determine whether the hair loss is due to nutritional deficiency, hormonal imbalance or other medical factor and thus recommend the right treatment.
Losing a lot of hair can be due to several factors, such as stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies or heredity. It is important to first rule out temporary causes and review lifestyle, diet and stress levels. If the hair loss continues or becomes more extensive, a doctor or specialist can help you investigate the cause and recommend treatments such as medicines, hair treatments or hair transplantation depending on the situation.
Who inherits your hair — his mom or dad? A common myth is that man inherits hair loss from his mother, but that's not true. Sure, hair loss is often hereditary, but one can inherit hair loss can come from both parents. In addition, two siblings may have different hair quality or lose their hair at different degrees and ages, showing that the inheritance is more complex than many people think. It is a myth that hair loss always comes from the mother's side.
