What can I do for sudden hair loss triggered by stress, fatigue or overexertion?

"I have been feeling tired for months and keep finding my hair everywhere: in the shower, on my hairbrush, on my clothes... What is going on?"

HOW TO RECOGNIZE SUDDEN HAIR LOSS (DUE TO STRESS, OVEREXERTION, FATIGUE, DIET, ETC.)?

The average person loses between 40 and 80 hairs per day. If you lose over 100 hairs per day, you have alopecia, the scientific name for hair loss. If this hair loss has happened suddenly and rapidly, it is sudden hair loss. Your hair falls out at an alarming rate. You find it everywhere: in the shower, on your pillowcase, while styling your hair, on your brush and you have the impression that it is falling out in clumps. This is caused by an imbalance in your life or a disruptive change. 

WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?

Sudden hair loss usually occurs in the 2-3 months following a specific event.

The triggering event may be:
- Seasonal changes
- Stress, emotional shock
- Restricted or poor diet
- Fatigue, overexertion
- Surgery or illness
- Some drug treatments

All will have an impact at cellular level. The resting phase of the hair will begin before the end of the growth phase. This hair loss is very dramatic. It can naturally decrease after a few weeks/months, but without treatment it may last longer.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF SUDDEN HAIR LOSS (STRESS, FATIGUE, DIET, ETC.)?

VASCULAR CAUSE: poor blood flow to the hair bulb means the hair does not get the essential elements it needs to grow.

NUTRITIONAL CAUSE: a deficiency in the nutrients essential to hair growth.

INFLAMMATORY CAUSE: Psychological or physical stress or certain disorders will result in an imbalance that will be conveyed as stress at cell level. At the scalp level, cells subject to this stress will release neurotransmitters, including substance P. These neurotransmitters will trigger an acute inflammatory cascade. Hair goes into the telogen phase prematurely. This triggers sudden, rapid hair loss.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO SLOW DOWN THIS HAIR LOSS?

In order to slow down sudden hair loss, you must treat these three causes. Each can be responsible for sudden hair loss, alone or in combination with one another.

YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT SUDDEN HAIR LOSS

To help with your day-to-day problems, we put our scientific expertise at your disposal.

DAILY TIPS

I want to find a way to hide the effects of my hair loss. What can I do?

Opt for a shorter haircut, as this always makes the sparse areas seem less obvious.
For women, an above-the-shoulder cut gives an impression of volume.
For men, wearing your hair very short is a good solution because it minimizes the difference between the areas with and without hair, making the thinning areas are less obvious.
If you have any questions, speak to a hairdresser who will be able to help.
If the hair loss is only mild, wearing a hat, scarf, or other hair accessory can be a good way to camouflage the thinning area.

CONCERNS/PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS

Someone told me that massaging the scalp is good for preventing hair loss, is that true?

Yes, that is absolutely correct. Massaging the scalp activates the local microcirculation and helps supply the nutrients needed for strong hair growth.

Try COMPLEXE 5 Regenerating plant extract and give yourself a massage. It promotes well-being and relaxation and is a wonderful tonic and stimulant for the scalp.

I often wear a cap or a hat. Can that make my hair fall out?

No, wearing a cap or a hat does not encourage hair loss. 
However, if it is very tight or you wear it very often and it rubs the same parts of your head, it can cause the hair to thin or break.

Does brushing make hair loss worse?

Not at all. Brushing helps remove hair that has already died, and any dust and dirt. However, it does not aggravate hair loss; on the contrary, it is beneficial for the scalp because it aerates and volumizes the hair.

Is hair loss a seasonal problem?

Yes, this is true. We are most prone to hair loss during the changes of the seasons, and especially during the fall.

I have fine hair. Is there a higher risk of hair loss?

No, fine hair is not more prone to hair loss. It is true that fine hair is generally more fragile and therefore breaks more easily, but this is not hair loss.

EFFECTS OF LIFESTYLE

I am often stressed and tired. Does that mean I will continue to lose my hair for my entire life?

Stress and fatigue are two factors that can cause hair loss. If you address the underlying problem, there is no reason why you should continue losing your hair.

I have moved to a new environment (town, country, social circle, etc.) and I have been losing my hair. Is it related?

Any change can be a cause of stress. Hair loss may thus be linked to this change of environment. As you adapt to your new life, your hair loss will naturally resolve itself.

Can dying my hair often cause hair loss?

Dying your hair does not normally cause hair loss. However, it can (if done often and if the dye is left on for too long) alter the keratin in the hair, making it fine and brittle. Our OKARA COLOR ritual is perfect for protecting and enhancing the radiance of color-treated hair. 

I use straighteners, curling irons, hair dryers etc. Can they cause hair loss?

These styling tools can dehydrate the hair, leaving it dry and brittle. However, they do not cause hair loss. Moderate use of good quality tools that respect the hair should not lead to any drastic consequences, especially if used with our LISSEA ritual to protect and repair straightened hair.

Can washing my hair frequently make hair loss worse?

No, there are no drawbacks to washing your hair often. Washing your hair every day cannot in itself cause your hair to fall out.

ILLNESS

I used to be anorexic. Does that cause hair loss?

Anorexia, like any unbalanced diet, can affect your hair. It occurs in several different stages, depending on how long the body is deprived of food and to what extent. Hair initially becomes duller and more brittle, then in the longer term it can begin to fall out. However, a return to a balanced diet, possibly combined with a targeted treatment, should make the hair loss gradually return to normal.

After chemotherapy, does hair grow back by itself or is there a recommended treatment I should use?

Hair loss is unfortunately a well-known side effect of chemotherapy. You should never use any hair loss treatment while you are undergoing chemotherapy, as it could actually make the hair loss worse. You must wait until the treatment has finished, and then an additional 2-3 months for the drugs to be fully eliminated from your body, before starting any hair loss treatment such as TRIPHASIC REACTIONAL. This treatment accelerates the growth of new hair and encourages strong, healthy hair.

Oral treatments are not recommended and may even be prohibited after chemotherapy.

PRODUCT FAQ (USES, CONTRAINDICATIONS, RESULTS...)

Should I use both VITALFAN and TRIPHASIC REACTIONAL together, or is just one of them enough?

For optimal synergistic effects, you should use the two together, both TRIPHASIC REACTIONAL and VITALFAN for sudden hair loss. This way you are combining a topical treatment that acts directly on the scalp with an oral supplement to get outstanding results.
If you have to choose just one, use TRIPHASIC REACTIONAL, which, when used alone, is extremely effective thanks to its topical formulation that targets the scalp directly. Proven anti-hair loss efficacy after the first month for 92% of users*
*Significant average increase of hair in the growth phase (phototrichogram, p<0.001). Clinical study conducted on 51 individuals.

I am currently taking prescription drugs, is there a contraindication?

If you are taking medication, you should always speak to your doctor before starting any hair loss treatment in order to ensure there are no contraindications.

When will I start to see the results?

TRIPHASIC REACTIONAL gives proven, visible results from the first month of treatment.The first signs are a significant reduction in hair loss after shampooing or brushing your hair, or on the towel or clothes, as well as a significant increase in the volume and thickness of the hair from the very first month.
92% of subjects questioned noticed the effects of this hair loss program after just one month of treatment.*
However, you should complete the full course of treatment (3 months) in order to ensure the best possible results.
*Significant average increase of hair in the growth phase (phototrichogram, p<0.001). Clinical study conducted on 51 individuals.

If I stop treatment, will my hair start falling out again?

With sudden hair loss, once you have completed the full 3 months of treatment, the hair will have started to grow back stronger. The sudden hair loss will be over. If you still experience problems, you may be suffering from gradual hair loss.
