Why Does Hair Loss Happen? Understanding the Causes & Solutions

Hair loss is a common concern, but did you know that the reasons behind it vary from person to person? From diet to stress and even product choices, multiple factors contribute to thinning hair. The good news? With the right hair care routine and targeted ingredients, you can combat hair loss and promote stronger, healthier strands. Here’s what you need to know.

1. Nutrient Deficiencies & Poor Diet
Your hair is a reflection of your overall health. When your body lacks essential nutrients like iron, biotin, and omega-3 fatty acids, your hair can suffer. Eating a balanced diet rich in leafy greens, proteins, and healthy fats is a great way to support hair growth from the inside out. But while food plays a role, your external hair care routine is just as crucial.

2. Stress & Hormonal Imbalances
Stress and hormonal shifts—whether from pregnancy, menopause, or medical conditions—can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to shedding. Managing stress through mindfulness and self-care is important, but using the right hair products can make all the difference in keeping your scalp balanced and your strands strong.

3. Product Buildup & Incorrect Hair Care Routine
Not all hair products are created equal. Many shampoos and conditioners contain harsh sulfates and silicones that clog the scalp and weaken the hair. Instead, opt for formulas designed specifically for your hair and scalp type. The Alterna Densifying Range is an excellent choice for those experiencing thinning hair, as it works to nourish the scalp and strengthen strands while boosting volume. Additionally, the Moroccanoil Scalp Range offers targeted treatments to balance the scalp, whether it’s oily, dry, or in need of a detox, ensuring a healthy foundation for hair growth.

4. Scalp Health & Circulation

A healthy scalp is the key to strong, beautiful hair. Bio-Oil, infused with rosemary oil, is a great way to nourish your scalp and promote hair growth. Rosemary oil is known for its scalp-stimulating properties, increasing circulation and encouraging thicker, fuller hair over time. Bio oil is also infused  with calendula, lavender, and chamomile, which soothe dry, itchy scalps and promote a healthy scalp environment.

For best results, apply Bio-Oil directly to your scalp and hair, leave it on for one hour, then wash it out with a gentle shampoo. This helps hydrate the scalp, reduce dryness, and strengthen your hair, leaving it soft and healthy. Try adding a few drops to your routine and experience the difference!

.5. Overstyling & Heat Damage
Excessive heat styling, chemical treatments, and tight hairstyles can weaken hair follicles, causing breakage and thinning. If you frequently use heat tools, make sure to use a heat protectant and incorporate strengthening treatments to help restore moisture and resilience.

The Bottom Line
Hair loss doesn’t have to be permanent. By nourishing your body, reducing stress, and using the right products—like the Alterna Densifying Range and Moroccanoil Scalp Range —you can maintain a healthy scalp and encourage stronger, thicker hair. And don’t forget the power of small changes, like adding rosemary oil to your shampoo, to boost your hair’s health over time.
