Quiz Outcomes

1.
Type 1: NUTRITIONAL
Image Source
Hair is one of the body's fastest-growing cells, which means it requires a lot of energy to generate. Our food and nutrition provide the macronutrients required to develop healthy hair, as well as the micronutrients and antioxidants required to promote the hair growth process and protect the hair! It is also critical to evaluate the health of our digestive system in addition to what we eat. Inadequate gut health might allow all of the wonderful food you're eating to pass through and not be properly absorbed.
2.
Type 2: HORMONAL
Image Source
Hair growth is extremely susceptible to changes in hormone levels such as progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, thyroid hormones, and so on. Because the reproductive system, like the hair, is relatively non-essential to the body, irregular symptoms in either of these systems indicate that something is wrong. Supporting your nutrition is a crucial step toward healthy hormones.
3.
Type 3: STRESS
Image Source
Stress is an unavoidable part of modern life. We usually associate stress with traffic delays, work deadlines, or family concerns. However, stress can also manifest as undereating, persistent dieting, blood sugar dysregulation, and excessive exercise. It's critical to consider all of the ways your body may be stressed, both intentionally and unintentionally.
4.
Type 4: INFLAMMATORY
Image Source
Chronic inflammation interrupts the growth phase of the hair, resulting in hair loss. If left untreated, this form of hair loss can result in hair follicle atrophy (scarring) and irreversible hair loss. Inflammation in the intestines can also lead to fungus proliferation on the scalp, resulting in an irritated, itchy scalp. Chronic inflammation can also deplete the body of essential nutrients, such as those required for hair development.
5.
Type 5: ENVIRONMENTAL
Image Source
Hair styling, chemical treatments, and hair routine are all common causes of environmental hair loss. This could be the core reason for your hair loss, or it could be an exacerbating factor. It's critical to evaluate your regimen and the items that have the most contact with your hair and scalp. Working with a qualified hairstylist or trichologist might assist you in determining the source of the problem.
