Hair is definitely the first thing that catches our eye when we meet someone on the street, and also one of the most important attributes of our beauty and attractiveness, which we care so much about. Unfortunately, their appearance often leaves a lot to be desired, especially after the winter months, when they require proper care to regain their temporarily lost vitality. There is no denying that hair is constantly exposed to a variety of unfavourable external factors, especially the weather, wind, rain, snow or rapid changes in temperature. All this has an almost immediate effect on their appearance, making them dull, dull and lacking in shine and requiring proper care. Of course, there are other factors that affect the state of our hair, too:

This makes them more brittle, fragile and after some time they fall out by the handful;
• Poorly selected cosmetics used for daily washing and styling, full of harmful substances, the worst of which are parabens, silicones and SLS and SLES, which irritate the scalp, excessively dry hair and split ends;
• diet, too fatty, heavy and lacking in nutrients that are also essential for healthy hair. They mainly need B vitamins, such as B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B12 (cobalamin), vitamin C and minerals, especially silicon, selenium and zinc;
  – diseases, of which hair loss is one of the symptoms, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, or severe stress, which also has a negative effect on the condition of the hair on the head.

Supplements and other methods to effectively stop hair loss

Their main task is to strengthen the weakened hair structure, which at the same time helps to stop hair loss, or simply the process of balding. In many situations it is inevitable, but the right dose of the right substances can stop it to a large extent, or even reverse it, causing the growth of new, stronger and thicker hair. These include preparations based on powerful, pharmacological active ingredients such as finasteride or minoxidil, but also plant-based ingredients, extracts from nettle, sabal palm, exotic sarsaparilla and field horsetail are equally effective.
