5 tips to combat hair loss in autumn-winter

• Massage your scalp : massaging your scalp 1 to 2 times a week helps activate microcirculation and thus better irrigate the hair bulbs. You can perform this gesture with the pads of your fingers, but also with a small massage accessory.
• Use a special strengthening scalp serum : enriched with strengthening and stimulating active ingredients, this type of product is very interesting for strengthening hair at the roots. It is ideally used as a treatment, 2 to 3 times a week.
• Take food supplements : taking a course of food supplements based on vitamin, zinc or brewer’s yeast can be a good option if you want to strengthen your hair and activate hair growth.
• Rinse your scalp with cold water when shampooing : cold water causes vasoconstriction and increased blood circulation. A phenomenon which will also boost hair growth.
• Use a hair scrub : the scalp is often cluttered with dead cells, particles from styling products or pollution which can slow down hair growth. Regularly exfoliating your scalp with specific treatment allows you to have healthier, denser hair.
