4 questions to ask yourself if you notice increased hair loss

Have you noticed more hair loss than usual? Finding more hair than normal in the shower, on your hairbrush or on your pillow can be worrying, but before choosing a hair loss treatment, it is important to identify what might be happening. Not all types of hair loss are the same, and understanding how it has developed can help us better adapt our hair care routine*.*

How long have you noticed the hair loss?

Sudden, temporary hair loss is not the same as a loss of density and volume that has been developing for several months.

Temporary hair loss can occur after periods of emotional stress, illness, dietary changes, weight loss or hormonal changes. In some cases, hair loss may also become noticeable weeks or months later.

However, when hair loss is progressive and the hair gradually becomes finer, loses density and the scalp starts to become more visible, there may be a hormonal or hereditary component. In this case, we may be dealing with a different type of hair loss that requires a different approach.

Is the hair loss widespread or localised?

The pattern of hair loss can also provide useful information, so we should pay attention to how it is distributed.

If we notice an overall loss of volume, we can adapt our routine with specific hair care. However, if there are clearly thinning areas, patches or highly localised hair loss, it is important to consult a specialist healthcare professional who can assess the situation and provide a diagnosis.

Has anything changed recently?

Before changing your routine, consider whether you have experienced any of the following in recent months:

• Periods of physical or emotional stress.
• Dietary changes or weight loss.

• Illness or recovery from a medical procedure.
• Hormonal changes such as pregnancy, postpartum or menopause.
• Starting or changing any medication.

Identifying these factors can help us better determine how to care for our hair.

Alopecia in men and alopecia in women: is it the same?

Alopecia can affect both men and women, although it does not always appear in the same way. Alopecia in men tends to be more noticeable around the hairline or crown, while alopecia in women may appear as a progressive loss of density across the top of the scalp.

Which hair loss treatment should you choose?

Before incorporating any hair loss treatment into your routine, we need to identify your main concern.

If your main concern is a loss of density, we recommend René Furterer Triphasic Night Serum. It is formulated to target loss of density while taking advantage of the night-time period, an important time for the scalp's renewal mechanisms, helping to strengthen the hair and improve its density.

However, when dealing with progressive hair loss related to hormonal or hereditary factors, René Furterer Triphasic Progressive, with GENTECH™ technology, is specifically formulated to target this type of hair loss and help preserve hair density and strength.

In any case, before choosing a hair loss treatment, the most important thing is to understand the type of hair loss you are experiencing and adapt your hair care routine to your hair's actual needs.
