Androgenetic Alopecia is the most common form of hair loss in both men and women. It is a hereditary or hormonal condition where the hair gradually begins to thin. In women, this typically presents as a receding part on the top of the head.

Telogen Effluvium is a temporary hair loss that often occurs after a period of stress, a traumatic event, or serious illness. The hair loss happens suddenly, but the hair tends to grow back over time.

Alopecia Areata, also known as patchy baldness, results in sudden hair loss in patches, creating "spots" on the scalp.

Women

The most common reasons why women experience hair loss at some point in their lives include physical or emotional stress, illness, birth control pills, pregnancy, medication, vitamin deficiencies, or increased male hormones in the bloodstream. Hereditary hair loss in women can occur similarly to men. This form of hair loss in women is called androgenetic alopecia, and is characterized by reduced hair follicles and thinning hair. Hair loss in women can also occur during periods when it may be especially effective to supplement with hair loss supplements for women.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: During pregnancy, many women experience changes in their hormone levels, which can affect the hair growth cycle. Some women experience increased hair growth and thicker hair during pregnancy, while others may experience temporary hair loss after childbirth. This is due to hormonal changes that occur during and after pregnancy. During pregnancy, increased estrogen levels delay the normal shedding phase of hair, resulting in fuller hair. However, after childbirth, estrogen levels rapidly return to normal, which may trigger a temporary phase of increased hair loss, known as telogen effluvium. We understand that hormonal changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect hair health, and at ZENZ, we offer gentle and effective products designed to strengthen and care for hair before, during, and after this special life phase.

Menopause: Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life, where hormone levels begin to decline. This hormonal change can also affect hair growth and quality. Some women experience increased hair loss or thinning during menopause due to decreased estrogen levels. Estrogen helps maintain the hair growth phase, so when estrogen levels fall, the growth phase may shorten and the resting phase may lengthen, leading to hair loss. At ZENZ, we understand the unique challenges women face during menopause, and we offer tailored products to support hair health and vitality during this phase.

Exercise and training: An active lifestyle and regular exercise are important for many women, but excessive exercise or extremely low body fat percentage can affect hormone balance and result in hair loss. Intense exercise and low body fat percentage can lead to a drop in estrogen levels and an increase in the male hormone testosterone, which can affect the hair growth cycle. This can lead to a condition known as exercise-related hair loss or telogen effluvium. At ZENZ, we understand the importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle and offer products that help strengthen and protect hair during exercise and physical activity.

Imbalanced scalp: An imbalance in the scalp can also affect hair health in women. Factors such as stress, hormonal changes, diet, and the use of unsuitable hair care products can contribute to an imbalance in the scalp, resulting in irritation, itching, and increased hair loss. At ZENZ, we understand the importance of a healthy and balanced scalp for achieving healthy and beautiful hair. We offer a range of gentle and natural products designed to soothe and restore balance to the scalp, promoting healthy hair growth in women.

Hair products and product buildup in hair follicles: Using unsuitable hair care products or styling products containing perfumes and silicones can lead to product buildup in hair follicles, which can block hair growth and lead to hair loss. It's important to choose products that are gentle and won't clog hair follicles. At ZENZ, we offer natural and gentle hair care products that help maintain a healthy scalp and promote hair growth.

Men

Every day, we lose between 50 and 100 hairs as new ones grow in. If you suddenly start losing more hair than you're regrowing, this results in actual hair loss. Hair loss in men can vary depending on the areas affected. Some men experience hair loss in their 20s and 30s, while others may not experience it until later in life.

Genetics: Hair loss in men is often genetically determined and is also known as androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness. This is due to sensitivity to the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can cause hair follicles to shrink over time, leading to thinner and shorter hair. Men with a family history of baldness are at a higher risk of developing hair loss earlier in life. At ZENZ, we recognize the importance of understanding the genetic component of hair loss in men and offer tailored products and treatments that can help strengthen the hair and delay the hair loss process.

Illness and stress: Illnesses and stress can also contribute to hair loss in men. Serious illnesses, surgery, or medical treatments can affect the body's immune system and hormone levels, resulting in temporary hair loss, known as telogen effluvium. Chronic stress can also affect the hair growth cycle and lead to increased hair loss. At ZENZ, we understand the importance of managing stress and keeping the body healthy through a balanced lifestyle, offering products that support hair health during periods of illness and stress.

Hair products and product buildup in hair follicles: Using unsuitable hair care products or excessive use of styling products can lead to product buildup in hair follicles, which can block hair growth and lead to hair loss. It's important to choose products that are gentle and won't clog hair follicles. At ZENZ, we offer natural and gentle hair care products that help maintain a healthy scalp and promote hair growth.

Diet and exercise: A healthy diet and regular exercise also play an important role in hair health for men. Deficiencies in important nutrients like proteins, vitamins, and minerals can affect hair growth and strength. Additionally, excessive exercise or an extremely low body fat percentage can impact hormone balance and lead to hair loss. At ZENZ, we understand the importance of a holistic approach to hair health and offer products and advice that support a healthy lifestyle and promote hair health in men.

There can be several causes of unwanted hair loss:

• Genetic factors
• Lifestyle-related factors such as diet (lack of proteins, vitamins, and minerals), exercise, sleep, and weight loss
• Hormonal imbalances, such as during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or menopause
• Mental imbalances, such as stress and grief
• Illness and medication
• Use of hair care and styling products with silicone, which can clog hair follicles

Scientific studies have shown that PROCAPIL® helps reduce hair loss and improves the health of hair follicles. Products containing PROCAPIL® can contribute to promoting healthy hair growth, strengthening the hair, and preventing and reducing hair loss. Research has shown positive results when using PROCAPIL®. It is important to note that results may vary.

The patented PROCAPIL® is a combination of three active ingredients: biotinyl-GHK peptide, apigenin, and natural oleanolic acid.

• Biotinyl-GHK peptide works by stimulating the production of keratin, a protein that makes up the hair strand. This can be beneficial for strengthening the hair and preventing breakage or hair loss.
• Apigenin is a flavonoid that helps increase blood circulation in the hair follicles, supplying more nutrients and oxygen to the hair root. This can help promote healthy hair growth.
• Oleanolic acid is a natural compound that is believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It can help combat inflammation and protect the hair follicles from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress.

Together, these ingredients strengthen and rejuvenate the hair follicles, improve hair anchorage, reduce hair loss, and stimulate hair growth.

PROCAPIL® appears in the INCI list as follows: Butylene Glycol, Aqua, PPG-26-Buteth-26, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Apigenin, Oleanolic Acid, Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1.
