10 natural methods to prevent hair loss

In the changing seasons or in periods of severe stress it is normal to witness copious falls of hair. Here are some tips on how to prevent hair loss with natural methods, to have a healthy and beautiful hair always, at any time of the year!

 Who among us would not want to have a beautiful and bright, but above all healthy hair? Hair is a really important part of us, they frame the face and if they are in order and well cared for they have the power to make us feel always in place.

To have them healthy, and therefore beautiful, they need ad hoc care with natural and effective products, which make them strong, soft and shiny.

Sometimes, however, their fall worries us, but it is enough to intervene with small precautions to prevent it: these are all natural remedies that will improve the health of our hair, strengthening them from the root to the lengths, to have them strong and beautiful.

Here’s what we’ll find in this article:

The causes of hair loss

Hair are living organisms, and like all organisms of this type, once the life cycle ends, they die and in this case they fall, to be then replaced by new hair.

In the changing seasons, therefore in spring and autumn, it is very likely that a greater fall of hair will occur.

This happens because spring and autumn contribute, through climate change, to accelerate the phenomenon of natural hair replacement.



In most cases this seasonal change is linked to the natural biorhythms of our physique, in fact, the hair falls exactly as the leaves of the trees, to leave room for the growth of new.


Do not be alarmed so if we see a large number of our hair on the ground, they can fall even 100 hair per day and is still considered a normal loss. Usually, however, this phenomenon has a limited duration, between 4 and 6 weeks, and can happen even if you are going through a moment of particular fatigue and stress.

Moreover, in summer the hair is more beautiful and strong because the sun and the higher temperature activate a higher production of keratin, while in autumn this rhythm slows down due to the lowering of temperature and the arrival of winter cold.

Excessive loss of hair

However, when the hair loss becomes excessive and we notice hair remaining in the brush when we comb, in the shower or on the pillow, it can be an indication of some hormonal imbalance, an unbalanced diet and low in vitamins and fibers, of hereditary factors but also due to smoking, since it changes the blood circulation at the level of the scalp and prevents the supply of nutrients from the hair fiber, and finally hair loss can be linked to taking certain drugs.



Even the use of aggressive chemicals such as dyes and bleaches, permanent and stretch, but also lacquers, gels and fixative products can cause damage resulting in thinning hair.


In these cases, usually, in addition to losing a substantial number of hair during the day, they also appear lifeless and dull and can also thin on the skin.

This situation of thinning is not to be confused with alopecia, a pathological condition that leads to gradual and definitive loss of patchy hair. In these cases it is definitely necessary to hear the opinion of your doctor to stem and solve the problem.

If instead we are faced with a major thinning or an incipient baldness.

Natural methods to prevent hair loss

If the loss is part of the normal life cycle of the hair and is related, as we said, to seasonality or periods of stress, we can certainly help our hair with natural methods to prevent hair loss.

The advice we are going to give you should be part of our hair-care routine at every change of season and periodically throughout the year to support periods of increased stress and in special conditions.

1. Biotin and specific food supplements

Biotin is an important component of metabolic enzymes and a deficiency of it can lead to weakness, thinning of the hair (alopecia), brittleness of the nails and rashes.

Given the impossibility for our body to accumulate it, biotin must be regularly taken through nutrition or food supplements and maintain healthy hair and nails.

Food supplements are specific and functional products dedicated to daily well-being. The mix of functional substances and active ingredients that compose them are carefully selected to provide the body with some specific components that it needs to maintain an ideal state of well-being.

A supplement that takes care of the well-being of hair and nails helping them to keep healthy and strong is Hair Vitamin, high in Biotin. In addition to this among its ingredients we find:

  • Nettle, Horsetail and Bamboo: contribute to the well-being of nails and hair.
  • Millet: has restorative action.
  • Copper: contributes to normal hair pigmentation.
  • Selenium and Zinc: contribute to the maintenance of normal hair and nails and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

2. Natural prebiotics

Prebiotics are organic substances, such as fibers, that stimulate the growth of the good bacteria that make up the microbiota. Prebiotics are able to support the energy metabolism of the bacteria that make up our microflora, optimize the environment that houses it, and improve the physiological balance in general. (Read more about prebiotics here)

That’s why prebiotics are among the most effective natural remedies to prevent hair loss.

These plant-derived ingredients, when added in specific hair formulations, are a great source of nourishment, improving the health and appearance of the scalp and hair.

Microbiota re-balance also means:

  • Regulation of the production of sebum
  • Improvement and prevention of itching and dandruff
  • Improvement of fine hair, brittle and tending to fall
  • Strengthening the barrier effect of the skin
  • More healthy and beautiful hair appearance

We can find them in specific formulations for the scalp and hair, among the most effective the soothing and strengthening scalp lotion, which nourishes the natural scalp microbiota and consequently strengthens the stem giving new vitality to the hair.prebiotico

3. Specific phytocomplex extracts

Hair loss is a complex problem! That’s why we treat it with the Hair Plus Complex, a powerful plant phytocomplex.

It is a super functional active present in the Anti fall lotion of the SativAction Men’s Line. Let’s talk about an innovative ingredient that counteracts hair loss and offers visible results already after 3 months!

In particular, it has been shown that after its use:

  • The bulb gets bigger

This ingredient does not work on the hormonal loss of hair, but on the well-being of the scalp: it creates the best possible environment to facilitate the growth of new hair and reduce the loss of those currently present. That is why the formulas that contain it can be used by both men and women.

It can be found in natural dyes mixed with other dyeing herbs.

Amla, the powdered extract of the Phyllanthus emblica plant - the Indian gooseberry - has always been used by Indian women and is the secret of their wonderful hair. In fact, Amla is rich in vitamin C, is very nutritious and helps keep the scalp healthy, strengthens the hair and prevents the fall. It also has coloring power, is therefore widely used as a dyeing herb in vegetable dyes to revive and accentuate the hair color.

In particular, Amla is also contained in the Active Hair Silicone Plant + Amla, a light oil, silky and strengthening that can be used on the hair to make them smooth and more comb, or to nourish dry lengths, but that can also be used as a scalp compress to strengthen the hair and to purify the scalp: just massage, keep on for at least 15 minutes and then proceed with washing.
