Guide to Managing Hair Loss: Causes, Prevention Tips, and Hair Care

The human scalp contains between 100,000 and 150,000 hair follicles, with 90% actively growing hair at any moment. Hair follows a natural growth cycle, where each strand grows for two to six years, rests for around three months, and then falls out. On average, people shed between 50 to 150 strands of hair daily. These strands are then replaced by new hair growing from the same follicles.

While hair loss is usually not a major cause for concern, it can become a concern when new hair does not grow back or too much hair is lost, it can negatively affect one’s appearance and self-esteem.

Some Possible Causes Of Hair Loss Includes:

Hormonal changes. Especially during pregnancy, childbirth and menopause, you may experience hair loss to a certain extent.
Stress. Stress hormone impairs stem cells necessary for hair growth
Obsessive pulling of hair.
Hair care practices and hair treatments. Heat styling tools like your hair curler/straightener can be damaging to your hair, tight hairstyles, and chemical treatments (hair dye).
Lack of nutrients such as iron, protein, biotin and other vitamins.

Tips for Healthier Hair & How to Prevent Hair Loss:

Use caffeine-infused hair products (shampoo, conditioner). Caffeine stimulates hair follicles into producing healthy hair growth.

Apply a moisturizing conditioner after every shampoo. Conditioner moisturizes your strands, which reduces breakage and split ends.

Stop at-home coloring, perming and chemical straightening. If you want to do any of those, find a salon that specializes in the service and seek professional aftercare. Most salons also recommend to follow up with a hair treatment after the service.
Limit the use of heat styling tools (curling irons and flat irons). Use only when you have a special occasion to look forward to. These tools heat up your hair, which can weaken it.
Do not style your hair tightly pulled back in a bun, ponytail, or braids.
Eat healthy. If you’re not getting enough nutrients, such as iron or protein, this can lead to hair loss.
Massage your scalp daily. This can help to improve circulation and stimulate hair growth.

Take Care Of Your Hair By Choosing The Right Shampoo To Use, and Here are Some Ingredients To Avoid:

Sulfate. Sulfates can strip off the natural oils from hair, leading to dryness and breakage. If you use shampoos containing sulfates, it may weaken the hair shaft and increase the risk of hair loss.
Parabens. Parabens are synthetic preservatives commonly found in cosmetics like shampoos. They have been associated with hormonal disruptions. Since hormonal imbalances are a known cause of hair loss, it’s best to avoid parabens in hair care products.
Silicones. They form a barrier that prevents moisture from reaching the hair shaft. This can lead to dry and brittle hair, increasing the risk of breakage and hair loss.

Hair Care Routine We Recommend:

Step 1: Use a caffeine-infused shampoo

BEIGIC Botanical Recovery Caffeine Shampoo

We recommend using the BEIGIC Botanical Recovery Caffeine Shampoo which contains no silicone or sulfates. It features 10,000ppm of caffeine, biotin, panthenol and a vegan repair complex to target hair loss and damaged hair. As mentioned, caffeine-infused hair products stimulates hair follicles into producing healthy hair growth. This vegan caffeine is also rich in flavonoids (antioxidant) which strengthens hair roots and hair growth. Many Korean customers have reported that their hair falls out less often after using this shampoo. It also helps control scalp oil production and leaves their hair feeling refreshed after each use. Start off by taking an appropriate amount of the caffeine shampoo and massage thoroughly. Rinse off afterwards.
