Many factors (our environment, our diet, our stress levels and our daily habits) directly influence the quality, density and longevity of hair.

These influences can be internal (linked to the functioning of the organism) or external (linked to the environment).

These repeated attacks lead to excessive production of free radicals , unstable molecules that disrupt cellular balance. When they become too numerous, the body enters a state of oxidative stress , altering the normal functioning of cells, including those of hair follicles.

This phenomenon accelerates the aging of hair follicles, disrupts their proper functioning and weakens their ability to produce healthy hair and leads to hair loss.

EXTERNAL AGGRESSIONS

Type of hair loss and characteristics: dull, brittle hair, often irritated or sensitive scalp, diffuse hair loss.

Causes: toxic molecules from our lifestyle (pollution, chemicals, UV rays, smoke) cause oxidative stress by directly attacking the scalp. These free radicals damage hair follicle cells, accelerate their aging, and disrupt their ability to produce healthy hair.

Triggers: urban living, prolonged sun exposure, excessive use of harsh hair products, repeated tight hairstyles, smoking.

INTERNAL AGGRESSIONS

Type of hair loss and characteristics: diffuse hair loss, finer hair, progressive loss of density, sometimes dry or inflamed scalp.

Causes: internal imbalances generate free radicals that cause oxidative stress. This stress damages the cells of the scalp and hair follicles, slowing their regeneration and weakening the quality of the hair produced.

Common Triggers: persistent fatigue, nutritional deficiencies, emotional stress, hormonal disorders (menopause, contraception), lack of sleep, dehydration.

Hair loss related to an unbalanced lifestyle is often temporary. Hair follicles remain intact and can regrow as soon as the source of oxidative stress is eliminated. However, if these imbalances persist, they can weaken the scalp, disrupt hormonal balance, slow regrowth, and promote the onset of more permanent hair loss, such as androgenic alopecia.

KEY ELEMENTS FOR OPTIMAL INTERNAL HEALTH

• Eat a diet rich in antioxidants

• Hydrate yourself sufficiently

• Reduce your consumption of fast sugars and ultra-processed foods

• Choose suitable food supplements

• Manage your stress (meditation, sleep)

KEY ELEMENTS FOR OPTIMAL EXTERNAL PROTECTION

• Protect your scalp from UV rays (cap, hat, spray)

• Limit exposure to pollutants

• Avoid tight hairstyles

• Reduce the use of heating appliances

Taking these key elements into account will allow you to adopt a more balanced lifestyle and achieve a healthier scalp. Stimulating blood circulation is also essential for boosting hair growth and revitalizing the scalp.

The HACT routine is a suitable solution to effectively support you in this process.
