How to stop hair loss?

Hair loss is an increasingly common problem affecting both women and men across age groups. Whether it is genetics, hormonal imbalance, stress, poor nutrition, or improper hair care, the result is often thinning of the scalp hair accompanied by frustration and lowered self-confidence. Fortunately, there are effective ways to slow down the hair loss process and even promote new hair growth. Interested in which ones? Read on.

Why does hair fall out?

First, let's explain why hair loss occurs at all. It is good to start by saying that natural hair shedding is part of the growth cycle. We lose approximately 50 to 100 hairs daily, which is completely normal. However, if a larger amount of hair starts falling out and the density visibly thins, it may be a sign of a problem.

There can be many causes:

• Genetics – First comes genetics. Yes, hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common cause in both men and women.
• Hormonal changes – These can occur, for example, after childbirth, during menopause, or with thyroid problems.
• Nutrient deficiency – Especially lack of B vitamins, iron, zinc, and proteins.
• Chronic stress – Stress hormones negatively affect hair follicles.
• Incorrect hair care – Poor hair care is also a common cause of hair loss, e.g., excessive coloring, straightening, frequent washing with harsh shampoos.

What helps against hair loss?

Now we come to the main point: What to do about hair loss? Treatment depends on the cause, but there are several general recommendations that help hair regain strength and vitality:

1. Healthy and balanced diet – focus on foods rich in proteins, B vitamins, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids.

2. Dietary supplements – suitable are, for example, biotin, zinc, collagen, or vitamin D.

3. Scalp massages – improve blood circulation and support hair growth.

4. Stress reduction – relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, or enough sleep can have a surprising effect.

5. Use gentle hair care products – avoid sulfates, parabens, and alcohol in the ingredients.

Recommendations for faster hair growth

If we pause at point 3, i.e., scalp massages, we could elaborate more. If you are interested in hair growth, you have surely come across oil treatments and scalp massages. That is where the dermaroller comes into play.

What is a dermaroller?

It is a roller with micro-needles that is rolled over the scalp. The needles penetrate the upper skin layer and create microscopic punctures. These stimulate natural regenerative processes and improve blood flow in the scalp.

This has several advantages:

• Support for new hair growth – increased blood circulation means more nutrients for hair roots.
• Better absorption of active ingredients – serums with growth factors, caffeine, or biotin penetrate the skin deeper and more effectively.
• Strengthening of hair follicles – regular stimulation can slow down or stop hair loss.

The dermaroller is popular not only for its effectiveness but also for its affordability and ease of use. It only needs to be used 2–3 times a week and combined with a suitable serum or tonic to support hair growth.

How to use a dermaroller correctly?

• Choose the right needle size: for the scalp, 0.25 to 0.5 mm is recommended.

• Roll the dermaroller over the skin: gently and systematically, horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.

• Apply serum: after treatment, apply a nourishing serum that enhances the effect.

• Clean the dermaroller after each use: ideally with a disinfectant spray.

Conclusion: Be patient and consistent

You won’t solve hair loss overnight, but with regular care, a balanced diet, and using the dermaroller, you can achieve visible results in a few weeks. The key is patience, discipline, and a comprehensive approach. Your body and hair will reward you.
