Strong, healthy hair makes us feel confident and comfortable in our own bodies. Those affected by hair loss suffer greatly from this disease. The psychological stress caused by hair loss can be so enormous that it can even lead to depression. That is why it is important that you counteract it at the first signs and protect your health. What is particularly problematic is that there are no specialists for your hair. The first port of call would be a dermatologist, but this only deals with the scalp. His area of expertise does not include hair itself. An endocrinologist can also determine irregularities in the hormonal balance and, if in doubt, examine the thyroid gland, which can also be related to hair loss. It is therefore all the more pleasing that products such as biotin have been developed to support natural hair growth. It can help prevent hair loss and promotes a healthy scalp.
CAUSES AND TYPES OF HAIR LOSS
Hair loss has many different causes and occurs in different forms.
It is important to first determine what type of hair loss you are suffering from. Then appropriate countermeasures can be taken to support hair growth.
circular hair loss (alopecia areata)
Alopecia areata is caused by an autoimmune disease. It causes the immune system to attack the body's own tissue. This affects the scalp or the hair roots.
Women are significantly more likely to be affected by alopecia areata than men.
The disease is hereditary, but vitamin treatments and adequate care can help alleviate the symptoms.
Diffuse hair loss (alopecia diffusa)
In addition to a thyroid dysfunction or iron deficiency, there are many other possible causes of diffuse hair loss. Certain medications and hormone preparations, the pill and especially stress, affect the density of your hair.
A lack of vitamin B and nutrients can cause hair and scalp to suffer. The effect of biotin can be particularly helpful in strengthening thin hair and stimulating hair growth.
HAIR LOSS DUE TO INFLAMMATORY DISEASES
Hair loss can also occur as a result of inflammatory diseases of the scalp. In this case, before starting a course of vitamins and care products to strengthen the remaining hair, you should definitely consult a dermatologist to combat the cause of the inflammation.
Hair loss due to too tight braids
If you're lucky, it's simply a braid that's too tight, which is putting so much strain on your scalp and hair roots that your hair is falling out. In this case, you should rethink your hairstyle or at least not tie your hair so tightly.
Having your hair down also prevents split ends because it is not subjected to as much stress. You should make sure to wear your hair loosely up, especially when you sleep, so that you don't lie on it. With the right shampoo, you can take care of your hair for the long term, so that it shines and radiates when worn down.
Hair loss due to pathological hair pulling (trichotillomania)
This form of hair loss is psychological. Those affected have an urgent need to pull out their own hair, which causes it to become thinner and thinner. The scalp can even become so scarred that no new hair grows back.
If you notice this behavior in yourself, please see a doctor as soon as possible! This could be a serious mental illness that should definitely be examined by a specialist!
WHAT ARE THE EFFECT OF BIOTIN DEFICIENCY?
Biotin is also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H. Biotin deficiency affects your metabolism. Numerous symptoms have been clinically proven. Among other things, biotin deficiency leads to
- Hair loss and hair color disorders
- skin disorders
- brittle nails

As you can see, biotin is much more than just hair care. A course of treatment with biotin improves your well-being and prevents serious illnesses. Vitamin B is necessary for the body's functions and has a direct influence on our well-being.
THE RIGHT NUTRITION FOR BEAUTIFUL HAIR
As in many situations in life, it's all about the mix: It has been scientifically proven that the beauty vitamin biotin provides healthy nutrients for hair and scalp. But only in combination with a balanced diet will you benefit from long-lasting shine and protect yourself from brittle hair.
The following three foods have the highest biotin content:
- Yeast
- chanterelles
- porcini mushrooms
However, these mushrooms only contain up to 200 micrograms of biotin per 100 grams. Since you certainly don't want to consume huge amounts of mushrooms every day, biotin as an additive in shampoo or conditioner is a wonderful way to supplement your diet.
WHAT ELSE IS IMPORTANT FOR BEAUTIFUL HAIR?
To prevent hair loss and support hair growth, it is important to be aware of the totality of environmental influences on your body.
It starts with your diet. Foods with lots of vitamin B, zinc and iron strengthen your hair and promote your well-being. In general, processed convenience foods and unnatural foods tend to hinder beautiful hair and a healthy scalp.
You should also keep an eye on your stress levels. Treat yourself to some time out and pamper yourself. Unwind with a relaxing evening with a cup of tea and a good book. Take a break from your stressful everyday life and relax with a wellness day with the soothing memademoiselle care products.
Also be clear about your hair type in order to find the optimal care for your specific needs.
