1) The normal hair growth cycle (simple explanation)

Each hair follows a natural cycle with three phases:

Growth phase (anagen)

• Lasts 2 to 6 years

• Hair actively grows

• 80–90% of hairs are in this phase

Transition phase (catagen)

• Lasts a few weeks

• Growth stops

Shedding phase (telogen)

• Lasts 2–3 months

• Hair falls out to make room for a new one

➡️ Losing 50 to 100 hairs per day is normal.

---

2) When hair loss deserves attention

Hair loss should be monitored if:

• it is sudden

• it lasts more than 2–3 months

• it is diffuse (hair thinning everywhere)

• it leads to visible thinning

• it occurs after:

  • intense stress

  • illness

  • prolonged fatigue

  • restrictive dieting

In many cases, the hair follicle remains alive.

3) Temporary vs progressive hair loss

Temporary hair loss (often reversible)

• stress

• fatigue

• nutritional imbalance

• illness

• post-infection

➡️ Hair regrowth is possible once the cause is corrected.

Progressive genetic hair loss

• slow onset

• specific areas (temples, crown)

• hormonal influence

➡️ It cannot be cured, but it can often be slowed and stabilized.

Many people experience a combination of both types.

4) Common myths to forget

❌ “Washing hair too often causes hair loss”
❌ “Shampoos make hair fall out”
❌ “Once it starts, it’s irreversible”
❌ “A miracle product will fix everything”

Hair loss is multifactorial, never magical.

5) The most important message

Hair loss is not inevitable.
In many cases, it can be slowed, stabilized, or partially reversed
when the main cause is properly identified.

This will be the focus of the next article.

 

MODULE 2

Identifying your main cause of hair loss and common mistakes to avoid

Article written and reviewed by a pharmacist graduated from the Faculty of Paris

---

Purpose of this article

This article will help you:

• understand that hair loss rarely has a single cause

• identify the main dominant cause in your situation

• avoid ineffective or inappropriate solutions

Hair loss is often multifactorial, but one factor usually predominates.

Why treating everything at once does not work

Many people:

• change shampoos frequently

• take several supplements at the same time

• test contradictory solutions

👉 This often leads to frustration and poor results.
The most effective approach is to identify the main cause and act accordingly.

Common hair loss profiles

1) Stress- and fatigue-related hair loss

• onset after emotional or physical stress

• poor sleep, chronic fatigue

• diffuse hair shedding
  ➡️ Often reversible once balance is restored.

2) Nutritional imbalance or deficiency

• restrictive diets, weight loss

• digestive issues

• brittle nails, dull hair
  ➡️ Hair enters the shedding phase prematurely.

3) Progressive genetic hair loss

• slow progression over years

• localized areas (temples, crown)

• family history
  ➡️ Cannot be cured, but may be slowed and stabilized.

4) Hair loss related to aggressive habits

• tight hairstyles

• excessive heat

• unsuitable hair products
  ➡️ Often improves when habits are corrected.

  Common mistakes to avoid + key message

❌ The most common mistakes

❌ Trying to treat all possible causes at the same time
❌ Using multiple products without a clear strategy
❌ Changing solutions too quickly
❌ Copying someone else’s routine

👉 These mistakes lead to disappointment, wasted time, and unnecessary expenses.

✅ Key message

There is no universal solution for hair loss.
But there is a targeted strategy for each individual, based on identifying the dominant c

How to identify your personal profile

Ask yourself:

• Did hair loss start after stress, illness, or fatigue?

• Is it diffuse or localized?

• Are there associated signs (fatigue, brittle nails, scalp discomfort)?

• Have your habits changed recently?

👉 Usually, one cause stands out.
