If you’ve noticed a few more hairs than usual getting stuck in your brush or clogging up the drain in the shower, you might be at the beginning stages of hair loss.

Losing your hair can be the result of genetics, medical conditions or a side-effect of medication. If you wear your hair in a certain style, like in braids or pigtails, you may even notice hair loss where your hair is pulled too tightly. Hair loss, medically known as alopecia, can be permanent or temporary depending on the cause. Sudden changes in your hair amounts should be checked out by a doctor because an underlying medical condition could be the cause.

Losing 50 to 100 hairs a day is normal for most people and it isn’t usually noticeable. But if you find yourself losing more and wishing your hair was thicker, there are products that can help you. DS Laboratories Revita Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo can maintain a healthy scalp and improve hair follicle dysfunctions to give you fast results, all just by lathering up in the shower. A serum, like Leonor Greyl Complexe Energisant, can fight alopecia by regenerating your scalp and hair. Just apply it after you shampoo and style as usual. You don’t have to be embarrassed by your thinning hair anymore with effective products like these on the market.
