Hair in focus

There is nothing new, unsurprising, and all the more shameful in hair loss on a man's head. Every second man aged 35+ sees curves above his forehead, and genetics, stress, malnutrition and male hormones are to blame for this state of affairs.

The male complexion is persistent. Compared to women's skin, it has thicker skin and is not easily irritated. And here's the surprise: on the head, everything looks different. Here you have extremely sensitive skin that reacts to the environment, care and hormonal changes. The latter are the first and most important cause of hair loss in men. We are talking about testosterone, the excess of which has a bad effect on the hairstyle. The more of it in the body, the more stress and attention: the more you train in the gym! You inherit this increased sensitivity of the hair follicles to testosterone (more precisely, its derivative, i.e. dihydrotestosterone) from your grandparents and parents. The bulbs, weakened by an excess of the hormone, live less and simply fall out. In addition, if you do not follow a healthy diet, do not provide your skin with any means (vitamins and minerals) to support the growth of healthy and strong hair, the condition of the hair may worsen. That's why it's worth checking cosmetic methods for excessive hair loss. Hair care can be the first step towards strengthening hair follicles.

Frequent washing prolongs the life of ... light bulbs

A good shampoo is not only a fragrant and refreshing cosmetic product. The composition of shampoos intended for men has a wide spectrum of action. First of all, cosmetics stimulate blood circulation in the smallest blood vessels, which supply weakened bulbs with nutrients. Secondly, it soothes skin irritations and reduces inflammation. There is something else. Herbal extracts (including ginseng, sage, horsetail) strengthen the scalp and increase its resistance. Therefore, in the beginning it is worth checking the formula of herbal shampoo Radikal and Masveri shampoo, in which you will find extracts of nettle, burdock and stimulating coffee extracts. And if you're looking for an organic formula, you'll find it in Hair Medic Shampoo.

Special care

Cleansing is one thing, and in the fight against excessive hair loss, you should think about special care. The idea is to supply the scalp and hair follicles once every few months with a concentrated dose of ingredients that will act as a stimulating cocktail for hair growth. The easiest formulas to use are the ones that you just rub into your scalp and that's it. As well as serum Elfa pharm. It contains a large list of ingredients such as burdock oil, saw palmetto fruit extract and thyme essential oil. Housed in a practical spray bottle, it will strengthen your hair along its entire length. In turn, another Kerastase serum formula focuses on the hair follicle, preventing hair loss and stimulating the growth of new and stronger hair. And if you are not afraid of cosmetics in ampoules, pay attention to the Collistar hair loss remedy. Ampoules used daily after washing will strengthen the follicles for up to eight weeks and new and stronger hair can be expected over time. Finally, something special for those with long hair. Conditioner that prevents hair loss and restores hair along the entire length - Dr Konopka. It is enough to use according to the recipe, i.e. apply after each wash for two to three minutes, comb the hair with a comb and rinse.
