Q: Typical causes of hair loss

Hereditary Hair Loss: Genetics play a significant role in hair loss. Hereditary hair loss, also known as androgenic alopecia, is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women. In women, this condition can result in gradual thinning of the hair, typically manifesting as a receding hairline or thinning on the top of the head. In men, it can lead to noticeable baldness at the temples and crown. While hereditary hair loss cannot be prevented, ZENZ offers products and treatments that can strengthen the hair and scalp, potentially delaying the process and promoting healthier hair. Stress-Related Hair Loss: In today’s fast-paced world, stress can significantly impact our bodies, including our hair. At ZENZ, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy balance in life and recognize that chronic stress can affect the hair growth cycle. When the body is under stress, it may release hormones such as cortisol, which can impact hair follicles and lead to hair loss. By integrating relaxation techniques and our calming products into your daily routine, you can help reduce the impact of stress on your hair and scalp. Diet and Sleep-Related Hair Loss: Maintaining healthy hair also requires a balanced diet and adequate sleep. Deficiencies in essential nutrients like proteins, vitamins, and minerals can affect hair growth and strength. At ZENZ, we focus on holistic health and understand that a well-balanced diet and sufficient sleep are crucial for hair well-being. By choosing nutrient-rich foods and prioritizing a good sleep routine, you can help strengthen your hair from within. Combined with our tailored hair care products, you can achieve stronger and more vibrant hair.

Question 1

What is hair loss?

Accepted Answer

We understand that hair loss can be a challenging issue that affects self-esteem. Hair loss is characterized by the process where more hair falls out from the scalp than grows back, leading to gradual thinning of your hair. For some, hair loss is temporary and can be caused by various factors such as stress, illness, or diet, while for others, it may be hereditary.

Stress can play a crucial role in hair loss. When the body is under pressure, it releases higher amounts of adrenaline and cortisol, which can affect the body's ability to deliver nutrients to the hair follicles. This can result in the hair not receiving the necessary nourishment, potentially leading to temporary hair loss. Typically, when stress levels decrease, hair will start to grow back on its own.

Androgenic 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 out. In women, this typically manifests as a receding part on the top of the head.

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

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

Question 3

Hair loss men

Accepted Answer

Every day, we lose between 50 and 100 hair strands while new ones grow in. If you suddenly start losing more hair than is being replaced, you are experiencing real hair loss. Hair loss in men can vary depending on the affected areas. Some men begin to lose hair as early as their 20s or 30s, while others experience it 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, resulting in thinner and shorter hair. Men with a family history of baldness have an increased risk of developing hair loss early 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 slow down the hair loss process.

Illness and Stress:

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

Hair Products and Product Buildup:

Using inappropriate hair care products or excessive use of styling products can lead to product buildup in the hair follicles, which can block hair growth and cause hair loss. It is important to choose products that are gentle and do not clog the hair follicles. At ZENZ, we offer natural and gentle hair care products that help maintain a healthy scalp and promote hair growth. Check out our styling products for men, all designed with the health of hair and scalp in mind.

Diet and Exercise:

A healthy diet and regular exercise also play a crucial role in hair well-being in men. Deficiencies in essential nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals can affect hair growth and strength. Additionally, excessive exercise or 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 well-being in men.

Question 4

Hair loss women

Accepted Answer

Every day, we lose between 50 and 100 hair strands while new ones grow in. If you suddenly start losing more hair than is being replaced, you are experiencing real hair loss. Hair loss in woman can be caused by various reasons.

Genetics:

Genetic factors play a significant role in hair loss for women. Hereditary hair loss, known as androgenetic alopecia, is characterized by a gradual thinning of hair due to shrinking hair follicles. Women may experience this form of hair loss similarly to men. Hair loss in women can also occur in phases, and supplementing with hair loss products specifically designed for women can be effective.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

During pregnancy, many women experience changes in hormone levels that can affect the hair growth cycle. Some women may notice increased hair growth and thicker hair during pregnancy, while others may experience temporary hair loss after giving birth due to hormonal fluctuations. The increased estrogen levels during pregnancy can delay the normal shedding phase, resulting in fuller hair. However, after childbirth, estrogen levels quickly return to normal, potentially triggering a temporary phase of increased hair loss, known as telogen effluvium. At ZENZ, we offer gentle and effective products designed to strengthen and care for hair before, during, and after pregnancy. Learn more about our testing program with women who preferred fragrance-free products and see how our products have improved their hair health.

Menopause:

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life marked by a decline in hormone levels. This hormonal change can affect hair growth and quality. Some women may experience increased hair loss or thinning due to reduced estrogen levels, which help maintain the hair growth phase. When estrogen levels drop, hair may experience a shorter growth phase and a longer resting phase, leading to hair loss. At ZENZ, we understand the unique challenges women face during menopause and offer tailored products to support hair health and vitality during this phase. Read more about how menopause affects your hair here.

Diet and Exercise:

An active lifestyle and regular exercise are important for many women, but excessive exercise or extremely low body fat percentage can disrupt hormonal balance and lead to hair loss. Intense exercise and low body fat can result in decreased estrogen levels and increased levels of testosterone, affecting the hair growth cycle. This can cause 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 physical activity.

Scalp Imbalance:

An imbalance in the scalp can also impact hair health in women. Factors such as stress, hormonal changes, dietary habits, and the use of inappropriate hair care products can contribute to scalp imbalance, leading to irritation, itching, and increased hair loss. At ZENZ, we recognize the importance of a healthy and balanced scalp for achieving beautiful hair. We offer a range of gentle and natural products designed to soothe and restore balance to the scalp, promoting healthy hair growth. Learn more about how to restore an imbalanced scalp here and see which products we recommend.

Hair Products and Product Buildup:

Using unsuitable hair care products or those with fragrances and silicones can lead to product buildup in the hair follicles, blocking hair growth and causing hair loss. It is crucial to choose products that are gentle and do not clog the hair follicles. At ZENZ, we provide natural and gentle hair care products that help maintain a healthy scalp and promote hair growth.
