Hair loss

Why hair loss is a real problem for many people

Hair loss in men and women

In men

Full hair has always been very important in many cultures around the world – thick, splendid hair as a symbol of fertility and steadfastness. In fashion and its trends, too, thick, strong hair plays a major role time and again. Our hair therefore helps to strengthen the impression of youth, aesthetics and vitality.

Hair loss can seriously undermine this image and, in particular, make it difficult for those affected to accept themselves. But other people, too, still find it very hard today to accept hair loss in the person in front of them without prejudice and discrimination, whether consciously or unconsciously. Hair loss in men has now – more or less – become part of mainstream society and leads to far fewer irritated looks and whispers than it used to, but many people’s opinions on the subject still tell a different story. Hair loss in men is therefore hushed up, and precisely for this reason it still plays an important role in the way we automatically characterise ourselves and the people around us.

In women

Hair loss in women is regarded as far more serious. People believe that hair loss in women is at most a marginal problem in our society – but they could not be more wrong. Almost one in three women aged 25 and over and nearly two in five women in the prime of life suffer greatly from their hair problem – and some feel that their quality of life is dramatically restricted. Because the hair problem in women is often much less visible – women usually wear their hair much longer and can hide bald or thinning areas better – hair loss in women is also talked about less in society. The social pressure, especially on women, to have a perfect hairstyle with strong, long and shiny hair leads many of those affected to deal with their hair problem on their own. As a result, they often feel left alone, neglected and misunderstood. And experience has shown that, unfortunately, this can also lead to problems within relationships, families and circles of friends.

Causes can include stress, vitamin deficiency or pregnancy

Even if the suffering caused by hair loss is often similar, the medical causes of female hair loss can be very different. Most commonly, hair loss – known in medical terms as alopecia – is due to a predisposition or to medical conditions. Hair loss can also increase following pregnancy. But even taking medication or a lack of minerals and nutrients due to a one-sided or poor diet can be problematic and cause hair loss in women.

A consultation with no obligation at Hair Doctors makes sense

Even if the circumstances of women and men may differ, in both cases the state of their hair has a considerable impact on their appearance and on how they are perceived by others in their professional or private lives. If psychological factors or typical behaviour patterns then even influence how those affected behave, it is essential to get help and seek personal advice from someone you trust. An individual hair treatment concept – from taking effective dietary supplements to a hair transplant – can then help you regain your zest for life and your self-confidence.

Good reasons for a consultation with a specialist

Whatever kind of hair loss it may be, specialist medical advice from recognised hair experts is always strongly recommended. A detailed conversation can already go a long way towards dispelling uncertainty about your own situation. And with the right therapy recommendation for an effective treatment of the hair loss, confidence returns – along with the belief that you can finally leave a long, unhappy phase behind you.
