Hair loss affects 42 million people in Brazil

Hair loss affects approximately 42 million people in Brazil, according to data attributed to the Sociedade Brasileira de Dermatologia (SBD). Beyond aesthetic concerns, hair thinning and loss can significantly impact an individual's self-esteem, confidence, and social life.

Causes for hair loss vary and include genetics, hormonal changes, stress, illness, significant weight loss, and iron deficiencies. Experts emphasize that different types of alopecia require distinct diagnoses and treatments.

To support hair health and volume, specialists suggest several habits: performing scalp massages with specific lotions to stimulate the area, exfoliating the scalp to remove dead cells and product buildup, and maintaining a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Antioxidant-rich foods, such as strawberries and blackberries, may also provide benefits. For cases of intense or sudden hair loss, consulting a dermatologist is recommended.
