5 Causes of Hair Loss and How to Help

Hair loss can be a distressing experience for many, but understanding its causes is the first step toward finding effective solutions. Below, we explore five common causes of hair loss and provide actionable tips for addressing them, including the benefits of Viviscal PRO and Toppik products.

Androgenetic Alopecia

One of the most common causes of hair loss is a genetic predisposition, known as androgenetic alopecia or pattern baldness. This condition occurs when hair follicles shrink over time, leading to thinner hair and, eventually, hair loss.

How to Help:
Viviscal PRO is a clinically proven supplement that provides essential nutrients to nourish thinning hair from within, promoting healthy regrowth and improving overall hair density.

Stress

Chronic stress can lead to a condition called telogen effluvium, where hair follicles enter the resting phase prematurely, resulting in excessive shedding.

How to Help:
Practice stress management techniques like mindfulness, yoga, or regular exercise. Toppik provides immediate coverage to maintain confidence while you work on reducing stress and supporting regrowth.

Hormonal Changes

Fluctuations in hormones, such as those during pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid disorders, can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to shedding.

How to Help:
Viviscal PRO helps stabilize hair growth during hormonal changes by strengthening follicles from the inside out. Toppik offers a quick, natural-looking way to cover thinning areas while you address the root cause.

Hairstyling Habits

Excessive heat styling, tight hairstyles, and harsh chemical treatments can weaken hair and cause breakage over time.

How to Help:
Limit the use of heat tools and opt for gentler styling practices. Viviscal PRO Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner are gentle, all-natural products that help nourish the hair for better styling. The Viviscal PRO Thickening Elixir is an all-in-one tool to help hair appear thicker while protecting it from heat styling.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Lack of key nutrients such as iron, vitamin D, and protein can significantly impact hair growth and strength.

How to Help:
Incorporate a balanced diet rich in essential vitamins and minerals. Viviscal PRO delivers a scientifically formulated blend of nutrients, including the proprietary AminoMar® complex, vitamin C, and horsetail extract, to combat deficiencies and restore hair vitality.
