"The hair - he explains - can fall out for reasons that vary from: seasonal reasons such as normal physiological change, but they are also often the cause of organic or psychic problems, therefore the loss can be temporary (for example breastfeeding) or permanent if it occurs a pathological situation (e.g. alopecia).

What are the 'tricks' to dry curly or straight hair in the best way and without damage? “To preserve the hair I always recommend removing the hair dryer nozzle, in this way the air will disperse better without concentrating too much on the cuticle, so as to avoid damage to the hair structure. If you have straight hair after drying from above using your hands as combs, more difficult if the hair tends to be particularly frizzy, the diffuser requires the curly hair instead. Never forget the thermal protector, which by filming the cuticle acts as a screen. No to drying upside down, the scales would open and the effect is immediately of an electrified and angry hair ".
Let's dispel the false myths: "the little snack that strengthens the hair or makes it grow faster, that's a historical one. The hair does not grow in the final part, but under the skin, where the live part resides. Even the hair that can be rebuilt, nothing more false. The hair cannot be rebuilt because we basically talk about dead cells. The external part that we see is no longer living. 'The hair breathes', no, the hair does not breathe at all ".
