Nowadays, more and more women and men are facing the problems of thinning hair, localized baldness and stunted growth. The causes can be numerous, but the good news is that there are numerous natural solutions that can help. Below, we reveal all the important factors, tips and effective herbal remedies to stimulate hair growth and preservation.   <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. The most common causes of hair loss<\/h3>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2022 Genetics and hereditary factors.<\/h4>\n\n<p>The most common form of hair loss is <strong>androgenic alopecia<\/strong>, caused by a genetic predisposition. It involves the sensitivity of the follicles to the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which shortens the lifespan of the hair. Men most often notice a receding hairline and the formation of M-shaped bald areas, while women usually experience thinning hair on the scalp.  <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2022 Hormonal changes<\/h4>\n\n<p>In women, the most common hormonal causes are:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Menopause and perimenopause<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pregnancy and the postpartum period<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Polycystic ovaries (PCOS)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use of birth control pills and hormone therapy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Hormonal fluctuations disrupt the hair growth cycle, which can lead to thinning and increased hair loss.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2022 Diseases and conditions<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Alopecia areata<\/strong> \u2013 an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the hair follicles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism<\/strong> \u2013 thyroid disorders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anemia<\/strong>, <strong>lack of iron<\/strong>, <strong>vitamin B12, D, zinc<\/strong> and protein<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fungal infections of<\/strong> the scalp (eg Tinea capitis)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2022Drugs<\/h4>\n\n<p>Many medications have side effects that include hair loss:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chemotherapy and radiotherapy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Antidepressants and tranquilizers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medications for high blood pressure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anticoagulants (blood thinners)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hormone replacement therapy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2022 Stress and emotional factors<\/h4>\n\n<p>Long-term stress, traumatic events and emotional crises can trigger a condition called <strong>telogen effluvium<\/strong>, in which a large number of hairs go into a resting phase prematurely and fall out.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2022 Improper diet<\/h4>\n\n<p>A poor diet poor in nutrients with the simultaneous intake of processed foods, sugars, additives and harmful fats directly affects the health of the hair. Without key vitamins and minerals, the body cannot maintain the normal function of hair follicles. <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2022 Toxins and bad cosmetics<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The use of aggressive shampoos, dyes, varnishes and gels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequent hairstyles that pull hair (braids, ponytails, buns)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exposure to cigarette smoke and pollution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>All of the above can cause irritation and damage to the scalp, which leads to weakening of the follicles.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.
