Hair loss can be considered abnormal if the hair falls in large quantities and it does not grow back at a normal rate. In each case, when we notice exaggerated hair loss, we intervene with adequate treatment to stimulate the hair follicle, also helping the circulation of the blood.
Sometimes there is a connection between weak hair and nails and disease symptoms. However, weak hair and nails and disease symptoms are, on other occasions, just signs of stress or a poor hygiene. It all depends on the case.

Treatment becomes truly efficient if it is effective in two directions: - if it stops hair loss; - if it stimulates the normal growth of hair again. If we lose more than 40-60 strands of hair per day, we can speak of hair loss, alopecia. Hair loss may occur in spots and on a wide area, namely in a diffuse fashion. Both instances can lead to irreversible baldness if the hair growth base dies. However, if the hair growth base does not die, and only the division of matrix cells within it stops for a while, then the baldness is only temporary.
The purpose of the treatment for temporary hair loss is the stimulation of the division of matrix cells that regenerate the strands of hair, and the intensification of the keratin deposits and of the scalp’s metabolism.
