HOW TO TREAT HAIR LOSS – Have you ever felt worried when you found a lot of hair falling out when you washed your hair? Hair loss is one of the most common problems experienced by women, especially when washing their hair. And that is a common thing that happens to everyone.
But in reality, many women then become worried and decide to reduce the frequency of washing their hair and hope that this will also reduce hair loss. In fact, the solution to hair loss is not to stop cleaning your hair but to take care of it so that it doesn’t fall out when you wash your hair. The best solution for hair loss is to nourish it so that it is strong and healthy.
CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS
Our hair has a life cycle that includes growth, stabilization, and shedding phases. In general, our hair falls out around 100 pieces per day. If you experience sudden, large, or thinning hair loss, you should consult a doctor.
Hair loss is sometimes only temporary, and can be reversed with changes in diet, hair care, or lifestyle. Other hair loss can be more permanent, or not stop because the underlying condition has not been corrected. By the time they reach their 40s, almost half of men will experience hair loss due to hereditary factors, such as androgenic alopecia. Women will also experience the same thing, but at an older age, namely in their 70s. Other factors causing hair loss are:
Medical conditions , such as androgenic alopecia, scalp infections, or trichotillomania
Lack of nutrition . It is possible that essential nutrients, such as iron, copper, zinc and protein, are not sufficient in your food intake. Vitamin D deficiency can also cause hair loss. So don’t forget to occasionally leave the house and be in an open area.
Hormonal imbalance . After their 30s, women can experience hormonal imbalance. This is usually caused by excessive conversion of dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
Polycystic ovary syndrome . This is a hormonal imbalance that occurs in women of childbearing age. This condition causes the body to produce excessive androgen hormones, so that hair thins and falls out.
Thyroid problems . If the thyroid gland, which is located at the front of the neck, produces too much or too little hormone, the hair growth cycle can change. Apart from hair loss, thyroid problems are also accompanied by other symptoms, such as weight gain or loss, sensitivity to cold or hot weather, and changes in heart rate.
Stress . Whether physical or emotional, extreme stress can cause prolonged hair loss. Reduce your stress with exercise, meditation, yoga, or massage.
HOW TO TREAT HAIR LOSS
There are many things we can do to slow or even stop hair loss. The way to deal with hair loss that we need to take depends on the cause of the hair loss itself.
If hair loss is caused by hormonal changes, for example pregnancy, then hair loss treatment is not necessary. Hair loss will stop after the pregnancy period is over.
If hair loss is due to using a certain hairstyle, for example tying your hair too tightly, or chemicals in hair products, then the treatment for hair loss is to stop using it.
If hair loss is the result of a lack of nutrition, then you can overcome hair loss by taking vitamins and supplements. For example, multivitamins or biotin.
Minoxidil with a content of 2-5% can also be used to treat hair loss. However, you must follow the instructions for use. Do not use this product if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
Hair transplantation is also an option. This is done by taking hair follicles from the back of the head, and then transplanting them to the area of hair loss.
If hair loss persists, you should consult a doctor. They can provide a diagnosis regarding the cause of your hair loss, for example thyroid problems, stress, scalp infections, androgenic alopecia, or other factors. If the hair loss is not caused by a serious health problem, for example hair falling out when washing your hair, this is usually because the hair is already weak and brittle due to various reasons (environmental factors and personal factors).
HOW TO TREAT HAIR LOSS
Here are several ways to treat hair loss to overcome the hair damage that we experience every day.
Don’t stop cleaning your hair
The general reaction to finding hair falling out when shampooing is to reduce the frequency of shampooing. Even though shampooing is important for the cleanliness and health of the hair and scalp. In fact, by reducing the frequency of shampooing, more hair will fall out. Here’s why:
When your hair is not washed, it creates an ideal environment for dandruff to appear, which causes you to scratch your head because it itches. And this is not healthy for your hair and scalp, especially if you are experiencing hair loss problems. In extreme cases, dandruff can even cause hair loss. When hair is not washed, all the sebum, dead skin cells, dirt, and buildup of product residue will make the hair dull and weigh down the hair, leading to more hair loss.

Washing your hair with a good shampoo is the main way to keep your hair and scalp clean from dead skin cells, oil, sebum, and dirt that can cause dandruff and other hair problems. Use the right shampoo to fight hair loss symptoms. Choose one that thickens and strengthens hair or one that helps add volume to thinning hair. Anti-hair loss shampoos usually have it all covered.
Reduce hair damage
We cannot avoid sunlight, pollution and dirt from our daily activities. Many micro particles stick to the scalp and inhibit hair growth. Apart from that, pollution can also cause sensitive scalp, itching, dandruff, excessive production of natural hair oils, and damage to hair roots. All of these symptoms can lead to hair loss, whether caused by scratching the head or due to irritation. To keep your hair and scalp free from excess pollution, it is very important for us to keep our hair clean by washing it regularly. Apart from pollution, there are several daily habits that also damage hair:
- Use a high temperature straightener
- Swimming in pools that contain chlorine
- Tying hair too tightly
- Combing your hair too hard
But there is no need to be afraid to carry out normal activities because the condition of your hair can be improved and protected from loss. Try the Pantene Hair Loss Treatment series which can protect your hair from pollution, prevent hair breakage, and can be used daily to reduce hair loss.
Provide nutrients that strengthen hair.
Using good shampoo and conditioner regularly can nourish, repair, strengthen and protect your hair from hair loss. We recommend Pantene Hair Loss Treatment Shampoo which is enriched with vitamin Pro-V which makes you no longer worry about hair loss when washing your hair. We also have Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Hair Fall Control Conditioner which can repair 3 months of hair damage in 3 days and strengthen the roots and restore hair shine.
Healthy food intake
Healthy hair comes from healthy nutrition and protein intake too. Maintaining a good food intake is very important to improve the condition and stimulate hair growth from within. Apart from that, you also need external protection and support so that your hair becomes stronger.
Hair loss vitamins
Research has proven that vitamins A, B, C, D, iron, selenium and zinc are important for the process of hair growth and retention. Vitamin A contains retinoids which have been shown to increase hair growth. This vitamin also helps sebum production, so the scalp becomes healthy. Biotin, or vitamin B7, is used in the synthesis of fatty acids in the body. This process is important for the hair life cycle. Biotin deficiency can cause hair loss. Vitamin D, apart from being useful for maintaining bone health, has also been proven to help hair growth. In conclusion, hair loss when shampooing is normal. And this can be easily overcome if your hair is strong, healthy and nourished. Even though there are several factors such as genetics and hormones that shampoo and conditioner cannot overcome, by maintaining the health and strength of your hair, you can ward off the various factors that cause hair loss that we usually face every day. So don’t worry anymore, by following the steps above, you can still wash your hair regularly while keeping your hair clean, strong, beautiful and anti-fall.
HOW TO PREVENT HAIR LOSS
You can follow the following hair health tips so that your hair is healthy, as well as how to prevent hair loss.
1. Avoid hairstyles that pull hair. Hair is flexible, but research shows that our hair’s flexibility has limits. Tying your hair in cornrows, tight braids, or ponytails can pull hair away from your scalp and loosen the bonds between them.
2. Avoid using hair tools that use heat. Using heat to style your hair makes the follicles dry and easily damaged. Hair dryers, hair straighteners and curling irons can remove moisture from the hair shaft, causing hair to become damaged.
3. Don’t use chemicals or dye your hair. Using chemicals on hair, for example for coloring, can damage hair because it breaks down protein molecules called creatine. If your hair is falling out, reduce your use of dyes, highlights, peroxide treatments, and perms.
4. Use a shampoo that is gentle and suitable for your hair. The purpose of shampoo is to clean hair from dirt and excess oil. Using too much shampoo can also damage hair. Sulfates and several other ingredients can cause hair to become frizzy and brittle, as well as dry scalp.
5. Use a soft brush made from natural fibers. Using a soft brush with natural fibers can optimize oil production in the hair. Brushing your hair also helps build up the creatine protein in your hair, thereby softening and moisturizing your hair cuticles. Brushing your hair every day can also prevent hair loss when washing your hair.
6. Try low-level laser therapy. Low-level laser light therapy can increase cell growth and repair. This is a fairly effective treatment for men and women experiencing baldness due to genetic factors. This genetic condition is the most common cause of hair loss in men and women, which can lead to baldness. In men, baldness begins with a receding hairline or bald patches on the top of the head. In women, baldness begins with symptoms in the form of thinning that often extends to the surrounding area.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT HAIR CARE PRODUCTS
To care for and maintain the strength of your hair, you need a shampoo that can clean without damaging it and nourish your hair well.
