Men: Hair loss

Q: Common 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 lead to gradual thinning of the hair, typically in the form of a receding hairline or thinning at the crown. In men, it can result in visible baldness at the temples and on the crown of the head. While hereditary hair loss cannot be prevented, at ZENZ we offer products and treatments that can strengthen the hair and scalp, helping to slow down the process and promote healthier hair. Stress-Related Hair Loss: In today’s fast-paced and demanding world, stress can have a major impact on our bodies—including our hair. At ZENZ, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy life balance, and we know that chronic stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle. When the body is under stress, it may release hormones such as cortisol, which can affect hair follicles and lead to hair loss. By incorporating 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 nutritious diet and adequate sleep. A lack of essential nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals can impact hair growth and strength. At ZENZ, we focus on holistic health and recognize that a well-balanced diet and proper sleep are essential for hair wellness. By choosing nutrient-rich foods and prioritizing a good sleep routine, you can help strengthen your hair from the inside out. Combined with our tailored hair care products, you can achieve stronger, more vibrant hair.

Information about hair loss

What is hair loss?

We know that hair loss can be a challenge that affects self-confidence. Hair loss is characterized by the process in which more hair falls from the scalp than grows back, leading to gradual thinning. 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 significant role in hair loss.
When the body is under pressure, it releases higher levels of adrenaline and cortisol, which can affect the body’s ability to deliver nutrients to the hair follicles. As a result, the hair may not receive the necessary nourishment, potentially causing temporary hair loss. Once stress levels decrease, the hair typically begins 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 hair gradually begins to thin. In women, this usually appears as a widening parting at the top of the head.

Telogen effluvium is a temporary form of hair loss that often occurs after a period of stress, a traumatic experience, or a 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 clumps, creating "patches" on the scalp.

Hair loss men

Each day, we lose between 50 and 100 hairs while new ones grow in. If you suddenly begin losing more hair than you are regrowing, it becomes noticeable hair loss. Hair loss in men can vary depending on where it occurs. Some men start experiencing hair loss as early as in their 20s or 30s, while others may not notice 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 caused by 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 are at greater risk of experiencing early hair loss. At ZENZ, we recognize the importance of understanding the genetic component of male hair loss and offer tailored products and treatments to help strengthen the hair and delay the hair loss process.

Illness and stress:

Illness and stress can also contribute to hair loss in men. Serious illnesses, surgery, or medical treatments can impact the body’s immune system and hormone levels, leading to temporary hair loss known as telogen effluvium. Chronic stress can also affect the hair’s growth cycle and cause increased shedding. At ZENZ, we understand the importance of managing stress and maintaining overall health through a balanced lifestyle, and we offer products that support hair wellness during times of illness and stress.

Hair products and product buildup in hair follicles:

Using inappropriate hair care products or excessive styling products can lead to product buildup in the hair follicles, which may block hair growth and cause hair loss. It's important to choose gentle products that do not clog the follicles. At ZENZ, we offer natural and mild hair care products that help maintain a healthy scalp and promote hair growth.

Diet and exercise:

A healthy diet and regular exercise also play a vital role in hair health for men. A lack of essential nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals can impact hair growth and strength. Additionally, excessive training or extremely low body fat can disrupt hormone balance and contribute to hair loss.
At ZENZ, we believe in a holistic approach to hair health and offer products and advice that support a healthy lifestyle and promote well-being and hair vitality in men.
