- Dealing with hair loss: truths and myths to dispel
We have always heard people proclaiming absolute truths about hair loss remedies, which on closer inspection often turn out to be baseless. Some of these rumours really do die hard… and sometimes it is our hair that loses out! Better, therefore, to clarify a few things together.
IS IT TRUE THAT CUTTING MY HAIR WILL MAKE IT GROW FASTER?
FALSE
To dispel this myth, just think that hair grows from the root, not from the tip: a regular trim has no influence on growth speed! The number of hairs on our heads, and the speed at which they grow, is mainly a genetic trait… So go ahead and cut your hair if and when you feel like it (or when you notice that the ends are damaged).
IS IT TRUE THAT DYEING, PERMING AND COLOURING MAKE HAIR FALL OUT?
FALSE
The important thing is that these treatments are performed by experienced professionals, using safe, high-quality products. Gels and lacquers don’t cause hair loss either, as they are deposited on the hair shaft without penetrating or interfering with the activity of the hair bulb.
IS IT TRUE THAT IT IS NOT GOOD TO KEEP YOUR HAIR UP ALL THE TIME?
FALSE
Updos do not cause hair loss, even if repeated every day. Just pay attention to the clip, which must not be too tight so as not to break the hair!
IS IT TRUE THAT HAIR LOSS IS DIFFERENTLY FOR MEN AND WOMEN?
TRUE
In men’s blood, especially at a young age, there is more testosterone, so the attachment to the bulb is more solid. As a result, hair loss in men is more noticeable, affecting entire areas – the parietal, middle and top areas – of the scalp. In women, the presence of testosterone is much lower, which is why simple thinning of the bulbs occurs, resulting in the formation of ‘patches’, where a lower concentration of hair is present.
IS IT TRUE THAT THERE IS NO CURE FOR HAIR LOSS?
FALSE
By proceeding with the identification and study of the causes, it is possible to treat each case individually and to evaluate the most effective solution. In our centres, a team of expert trichologists is ready to carry out your Tricotest® by appointment. This is an in-depth check using state-of-the-art, patented software. This is a meticulous skin-hair investigation in the course of which, the following checks are made:
- medical history: collection of data on the person’s personal and family history;
- objective examination: carried out with the help of a micro-camera (equipped with a magnifying lens, connected to a monitor) that allows the characteristics of the scalp to be assessed;
- head shots (from top to bottom): to assess the evolution and changes in the clinical picture over time;
- pull test: which involves gently pulling the hair and establishing its strength.
It is also very important, at this point, to emphasise that normal hair loss (50-70 hairs per day… and yes, you can count them!) should not be frightening and is absolutely physiological. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, a good diet and choosing quality products is enough. However, in the case of excessive loss (>100 per day) over a prolonged period of time, it may be useful to get some help, choosing specific treatments.
To provide an effective and concrete response, CRLAB has developed an entire line of cutting-edge trichological products: a clinical trial showed that constant use of these treatments increased hair thickness from 17% to 23% after just 3 months, with 100% of patients satisfied!
The Hair Loss Green Line kit in question is composed as follows:
CRLAB Hair Loss Preshampoo rebalances the scalp, protecting it from sources of oxidative stress, thanks to a special mix of essential oils. It also promotes the first phase of hair growth, thanks to its apple stem cell extracts.
CRLAB Hair Loss Shampoo rebalances the scalp and also h as an important purifying and soothing action.
CRLAB Hair Loss Ampoule combats hair loss, thinning and miniaturisation by strengthening the hair bulb and extending hair life. The Serenoa Repens extract and oleanolic acid contained in the ampoule effectively combat hair loss by preventing the action of the enzymes responsible for hair miniaturisation. Its formula stimulates the anchorage of the hair root to the scalp and stimulates microcirculation.
Our hero, however, is the practical hair loss plaster HAVOGEN 5 which rebalances sebum production, and strengthens and restructures the hair while combating hair loss. Recommended application: every evening, leaving it on for 12 hours, and continuing the treatment for at least three months. Thanks to the latest controlled-release technology, the skin will gradually and progressively absorb the active ingredients over the 12 hours following application (proprietary patent).
In the event that hair loss can no longer be counteracted with the proposed products and treatments, we naturally have other solutions for you, which we will soon discuss in detail.
… In the meantime, we invite you to contact your nearest CRLAB centre for a meeting and an initial, timely and discreet consultation with the professionals in our team. We’ll be waiting for you!
