What is hair loss?
Hair loss refers to the loss of hair on the scalp or other parts of the body that goes beyond the usual amount. It is a widespread problem and can affect both men and women. Hair loss can vary in severity, from slight thinning to bald patches.
A person normally loses a certain amount of hair every day. It is perfectly normal to lose around 50 to 100 hairs a day, as hair is in a constant cycle of growth, rest and shedding. This natural shedding cycle allows new hairs to grow back and replace the old ones.
However, if the hair loss goes beyond the normal level and leads to visible thinning of the hair or even bald patches, it is important to seek professional help. There are a number of factors that can lead to hair loss and a hair analysis can provide us with information about these.
Seeking professional help in a timely manner can help to successfully manage hair problems and restore self-confidence. At Interhaar, we are ready to guide our clients through the process with our expertise and empathy to find the best possible solutions for their hair health.
Causes and types of hair loss
There are many different reasons for hair loss! We have summarized the most common ones for you!
Androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss and affects both men and women. It is caused by a genetic predisposition in which the hair follicles on the scalp react sensitively to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Under the influence of DHT, the growth phase of the hair is shortened, while the resting phase is lengthened. As a result, the hair gradually becomes thinner and finer until it finally stops growing back. In men, this often leads to a characteristic tonsure and a receding hairline, while in women the hair becomes thinner overall.
Diffuse hair loss/ telogen effluvium
Diffuse hair loss occurs when a large number of hairs enter the resting phase (telogen phase) prematurely and fall out. This can be triggered by various factors such as hormonal changes, stress, certain medications, illness or severe weight loss. The hair loss is distributed over the entire scalp and leads to a generally thinning hair appearance. However, the hair is not completely lost, but is in a temporary state of rest.
Alopecia areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles. This leads to sudden, sharply defined patches of hair loss on the scalp or other areas of the body. The affected areas can be round or oval and show no signs of inflammation or scarring. In severe cases, baldness may even occur. The exact cause of alopecia areata is not yet fully understood, but genetic and environmental factors are thought to play a role.
Nutrition-related hair loss
An unbalanced diet with a lack of important nutrients such as iron, zinc, vitamins (especially biotin) or proteins can lead to hair loss. Hair needs these nutrients for healthy growth. An improved diet and, if necessary, nutritional supplements can help to remedy this hair loss.
Hair loss due to medication
Certain medications, such as antidepressants, blood thinners, hormone preparations or chemotherapy drugs, can cause hair loss as a side effect. If possible, the doctor can prescribe alternative medication that does not have a negative effect on hair growth.
Hormonal changes
Hormonal changes in the body, such as those that can occur during pregnancy, the menopause or due to thyroid problems, can lead to hair loss. Hormonal fluctuations affect the hair cycle and can cause temporary hair loss.
Psychological hair loss
Severe emotional or psychological stress can lead to hair loss, which is referred to as psychological hair loss. This hair loss is temporary and is often triggered by traumatic events, anxiety or depression. Stress management and psychological support can contribute to recovery.
Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania is a compulsive disorder in which sufferers unconsciously or consciously pull or pluck out their own hair. This behavior can lead to hair breakage and permanent hair loss. Therapeutic treatment is important to control the behavior and promote hair growth.
Scarring hair loss (e.g. lichen planopilaris or frontal fibrosing alopecia)
These rarer forms of hair loss are caused by inflammation of the hair follicles, which can lead to scarring and permanent hair loss. Lichen planopilaris is an inflammatory skin disease that causes small, reddish pustules on the scalp and leads to scarring. Frontal fibrosing alopecia is a variant of lichen planopilaris that mainly affects women and leads to a gradual receding of the frontal hairline and scarring. These forms of hair loss require early diagnosis and treatment to slow or stop the progression of hair loss.
Traction alopecia
Traction alopecia occurs when the hair is repeatedly pulled or stretched tightly over a long period of time. This can be caused by certain hairstyles such as braids, cornrows or tight ponytails. The constant pulling and tension can lead to hair breakage and permanently damage the hair follicles. Traction alopecia is common in people with certain hairstyling practices and can be avoided bypaying attention togentle hairstyles and hair treatments.

How can we help you with hair loss?
It is particularly important to us at the Interhaar Institute to find an optimal solution for your hair problem. We understand that hair loss is a sensitive issue and can have a major impact on your appearance and self-confidence. That is why we attach great importance to carrying out a thorough hair analysis to determine the exact cause of your hair loss.
We understand that hair loss can be a complex problem and that a one-size-fits-all solution is not always enough. That’s why we place great emphasis on personalized care and advice to ensure you receive the best possible treatment tailored to your specific needs.
Step 1: The hair analysis
The first step is a scalp and hair consultation.
Hair analysis at the Interhaar Institute is a crucial step in determining the causes and degree of hair loss. A comprehensive hair analysis is carried out to understand exactly what is behind your hair loss. The hair analysis takes about an hour so that all issues can be clarified. A thorough hair analysis is crucial as it helps us to identify possible causes of your hair loss and initiate a targeted investigation.
Scan your scalp
A dermatoscopic scan of your scalp is then carried out to analyze the condition of your scalp. Here we use a special dermoscope to view the scalp at high magnification and identify any signs of inflammation, irritation or dandruff. The results of this hair analysis are crucial in identifying possible underlying problems that could lead to hair loss.
Microscopic analysis of your hair
We also carry out a microscopic analysis of your hair. We examine existing hair samples under the microscope to obtain important information about hair growth. The microscopic hair analysis enables us to determine the condition of the hair follicles, the thickness and diameter of the hair and the number of hairs that are in the various growth phases. The results of this hair analysis help us to gain detailed insights into the condition of your hair and possible disturbances in the hair cycle that could be linked to hair loss.
The combination of the medical history, the dermoscopic scan and the microscopic hair analysis enables us to make a comprehensive and precise diagnosis of your hair loss. Based on this hair analysis, we develop a customized treatment strategy to specifically address your hair loss and find an optimal solution.
Our aim is to offer you the best possible support through hair analysis and to effectively improve your hair health. With the latest technologies and individual support, we want to help you achieve a positive result through hair analysis and restore your self-confidence with regard to your hair loss.

Further treatment options for hair loss

Hair replacement includes a variety of advanced techniques and productsthat aim to provide a natural and customized hair solution.
Modern hairpieces are designed to blend seamlessly with your scalp and can be perfectly matched to your hair color, texture and hairstyle. This creates an extremely realistic and natural look that is indistinguishable from real hair, even to close acquaintances and friends.
Hair replacement offers you the opportunity to feel comfortable and confident again. If you long for a natural look and a new attitude to life, hair replacement is a promising option. Contact us at the Interhaar Institute to find out more about our hair solutions and to arrange your personal consultation.
The individual treatment of your hair problems is particularly important to us!
The importance of individualized treatment for hair problems such as hair loss cannot be overemphasized. Each person has a unique hair structure, different hair needs and possibly different triggers for their hair loss. A “one-size-fits-all” solution would therefore not be sufficient to meet the diverse requirements.
For this reason, hair analysis is an essential step in our treatment approach. Through a thorough examination of your scalp and hair roots, we gain valuable insights into the condition of your hair, hair growth and possible underlying causes of hair loss.
This personalized approach ensures that you receive the best possible support to effectively solve your hair problem.
Tips for preventing hair loss
For many people, beautiful hair is the epitome of beauty and vitality! So that you don’t have to struggle with the problems of hair loss in the first place,
- Use type-specific care products: Every hair type requires individual care. Choose shampoos, conditioners and styling products that are specifically tailored to your hair needs. At the Interhaar Institute, we offer customized hair care to give your hair the best possible support.
- Reduce washing your hair too often: Don't wash your hair too often, as frequent washing can remove the scalp's natural protective acid mantle, which is important for healthy hair growth.
- Avoid aggressive styling products: Certain styling products such as hairsprays, gels and waxes can damage the hair and lead to hair loss. Try to avoid styling products that are too aggressive and prefer products that are gentle on the hair.
- Protect your hair from heat: Excessive heat styling tools such as hair dryers, curling irons or straighteners can weaken the hair and make it more susceptible to hair loss. Use heat protection products and reduce the use of hot styling tools whenever possible.
- Make sure you eat a balanced diet: A healthy diet with sufficient vitamins, minerals and proteins is essential for the health of your hair. Eat a varied range of nutrient-rich foods that can promote hair growth. This will not only benefit your hair, but also your health!
- Reduce stress: Stress can lead to hair loss. Find ways to reduce stress and integrate relaxation techniques into your everyday life, such as meditation, yoga or walks in nature.
- Go easy on your hair: Avoid pulling or stretching your hair too much, especially with hairstyles such as plaits or tight ponytails. Wear your hair looser to minimize hair breakage and hair loss.
- Regular scalp massages: Massage your scalp regularly to promote blood circulation and stimulate the hair follicles. This can support hair growth and prevent hair loss.
