First stay calm and observe the pattern

More hair in your brush, when washing or on your pillow can be unsettling. That is why the first sensible step is not to buy as many products as possible at once, but to take a careful look at what is changing. Does the hair loss start suddenly or gradually? Is the hair becoming finer all over your head, is your parting getting wider, or are individual, clearly defined patches appearing? Is there also itching, burning, redness, heavy dandruff or pain on your scalp?

Over a few weeks, note down when you notice the change. Photos of your parting and your hairline in similar light are helpful, as are short notes on fever, infections, stress, weight loss, new medication, diets or hormonal changes. This gives you a more realistic picture, because the amount of hair you lose each day fluctuates and is often hard to judge in the mirror. Clearly defined bald patches, an inflamed or painful scalp, or very sudden, severe hair loss with other symptoms should be checked by a doctor.

The most important basics in everyday life

A balanced diet with enough protein, regular sleep and rest form a good foundation. Treat your hair as gently as possible: no hard pulling when brushing, no permanently tight hairstyles, as little intense heat as possible, and care with chemical treatments. An irritated or very dry scalp deserves attention too, because good care always begins at the scalp.

• Wash your scalp regularly and in moderation, rather than irritating it by rubbing hard.
• Detangle the lengths from the tips upwards and avoid unnecessary pulling.
• Give a new routine time and don't switch between lots of different products every day.

POWER 2.0 as a clear care routine

The POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing of scalp and hair. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. In addition, POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss. In the POWER 2.0 hair care set, the three steps are designed as one connected routine: cleanse, care for the scalp in a targeted way and support the hair from within.

If you would like to round off your beauty and nutrient routine further, you can also consider NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster. These products are not a promise that every cause will be resolved with them. But together with good scalp care, they can be part of a consistent personal routine.

Your next step: the hair check

Would you like to know what is behind your hair loss? In the hair check, a few targeted questions help you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind it – and you receive a matching product recommendation.

That way you don't start with lots of products at once, but with a routine that suits your situation.

The cause determines which help is right

There is no single answer to the question “What helps against hair loss?” that suits everyone. Hereditary hair loss develops differently from temporary hair loss after a fever, severe stress or pregnancy. An irritated scalp, medication, hormonal changes, an unbalanced diet or illnesses can also play a role. That is why meaningful help begins with careful observation.

Pay attention to whether your parting is getting wider, your hairline is receding at the temples, the hair is thinning all over your head or individual bald areas are appearing. Also note when the change began and whether there were any particular strains in the months before. Clearly defined bald patches, pain, burning or a very red scalp should be checked by a doctor.

Three pillars that prove their worth in everyday life

• Understand the cause: The more precisely you know the pattern, the onset and possible triggers, the more targeted your approach can be. Food supplements should not be used blindly in a scattergun fashion.
• Care for the scalp: Gentle cleansing, little pulling and heat, and a regular, well-tolerated routine create the external conditions for well-cared-for hair.
• Support from within: Protein, a balanced diet, rest and a consistent intake routine matter more in the long term than short-term product changes.

The aim is not to promise a change overnight, but to build up the routine calmly and regularly. Hair grows slowly. That is why a care routine should be used and observed over several weeks and, if possible, over a longer period.

The POWER 2.0 routine

The POWER 2.0 hair care set combines the most important steps for daily hair care. The POWER Shampoo 2.0 gently cleanses scalp and hair. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

For a complementary beauty and nutrient routine, NutriVit Premium Kollagen and the NutriVit Booster may be of interest. The products are intended as a supplement. What remains decisive is that the routine is well tolerated, used consistently and suits your own situation.

What you can realistically expect

Good care can make the hair look better cared for, stronger and more resilient, and can support the scalp in its daily care. The POWER Caps strengthen the hair from within and counteract hair loss; the POWER Lotion specifically counteracts hair loss. How pronounced a change turns out to be, however, depends on the cause and on your individual starting point.

The next step: your hair check

What helps you against hair loss depends on the cause. In the hair check, you answer a few targeted questions and find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind it in your case – including a matching product recommendation.

Why hair can fall out with a delay

Sudden, diffuse hair loss can occur after physical or emotional strain. Possible triggers include, for example, an infection with fever, an operation, severe stress, significant weight loss, a very unbalanced diet or stopping certain medication. Often the increased shedding does not begin on the day of the event, but only a few weeks or months later. This makes the connection hard for many people to recognise at first.

A thyroid disorder, an insufficient iron supply, hormonal changes, inflammatory scalp conditions or circular bald patches are also possible, and each has different causes. “Sudden” therefore does not automatically mean that the cause is harmless – but nor does it mean that the hair loss has to be permanent. The pattern and the accompanying symptoms are what matter.

Signs you should take seriously

• The hair loss increases noticeably within a short time, or clearly defined bald patches appear.
• The scalp is red, swollen, painful, weeping, burning or very itchy.
• In addition, there is pronounced tiredness, changes in weight, changes in your cycle or other new symptoms.
• The hair loss persists over a longer period or keeps coming back.

Clearly defined bald patches, an inflamed, weeping or painful scalp, and very sudden, severe hair loss with other symptoms should be checked by a doctor. Don't start taking high doses of individual nutrients on your own before the cause has been clarified.

Gentle care for hair and scalp

Treat your hair and scalp as gently as possible: cleanse mildly, don't rub hard, avoid tight hairstyles, detangle carefully and reduce intense heat. The POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

As a complementary beauty routine, NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster may be of interest. With sudden, heavy hair loss, however, it remains important to get to the bottom of the cause. The products of the POWER 2.0 routine can accompany your daily care while you observe how the situation develops.

Observe instead of panicking

Photos taken under similar conditions, short notes on new strains and a calm approach to your hair help you to assess the development better. A change in hair density takes time. Once the triggers have been treated or have passed, the situation can settle down again in the case of temporary hair loss.

Your next step: narrow down the cause with the hair check

With sudden hair loss in particular, the trigger is often not obvious at first glance. In the hair check, a few targeted questions help you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind your hair loss, and you get a matching product recommendation.

In women, several factors are possible

If your parting is getting wider, the hair on the top of your head looks finer or your ponytail is losing volume, a hereditary-hormonal pattern may be behind it. Hormonal shifts, stress, illnesses, medication or an insufficient supply of nutrients are also possible. After pregnancy and breastfeeding, too, more hair can fall out temporarily. A precise assessment is therefore more helpful than a sweeping statement.

Pay attention to whether the change shows evenly all over your head or whether it is mainly visible at the parting and on the top of your head. A photo every few weeks in similar light can help you judge the progression more realistically. If the hair loss continues or increases, it is worth getting to the bottom of the cause. Clearly defined bald patches or an inflamed, painful scalp should be checked by a doctor.

“Stopping” begins with early orientation

The phrase “stopping hair loss” sounds like a quick fix. In practice, the first step is to recognise possible triggers and not to put additional strain on the scalp. Enough protein, regular sleep, as little pulling from tight hairstyles as possible and care with heat and chemical treatments are simple but important basics.

With noticeable or persistent hair loss, it is worth taking a close look at the past few months: was there an infection, severe stress, a diet, a birth or a hormonal change? Food supplements should suit your own needs and are no substitute for medical treatment.

The POWER 2.0 routine for scalp and hair

The POWER Shampoo 2.0 gently cleanses scalp and hair and supports a well-cared-for base. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss. In this way, the routine combines care for the scalp with complementary support from within.

If you would also like to include skin, hair and nails in a beauty routine, you can use NutriVit Premium Kollagen as a supplement. The NutriVit Booster can likewise round off your daily nutrient routine. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, with chronic illnesses or when taking medication at the same time, the use of food supplements should be discussed with a healthcare professional beforehand.

Patience and realistic expectations

Hair growth is slow. A regular routine can help the hair look well cared for, stronger and more resilient, and it can counteract hair loss. How pronounced the change is, however, depends on the cause, the duration and your personal situation.

Your next step: the hair check for your hair

Hormones, stress, nutrients or predisposition – in women, several triggers are possible. Answer a few targeted questions in the hair check and find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind it in your case. You also receive a matching product recommendation.

A common, usually gradual pattern

Hereditary hair loss in men, also called androgenetic hair loss, often begins at the temples, at the forehead or at the crown. Over time, the hair in these areas becomes finer and the affected areas become more visible. A family history can be an indication, but it is not a reliable prediction for the individual man. Not every thinning area is automatically hereditary.

Observe whether your hairline is slowly changing and whether your crown is losing density. Photos in similar light can help you spot gradual changes. With bald patches that appear suddenly, a red or painful scalp, severe itching or a rapid deterioration, the pattern does not necessarily fit hereditary hair loss – signs like these should be checked by a doctor.

Why it makes sense to look early

The earlier a change is recognised, the earlier you can respond to it in a targeted way. A close look also helps you not to overlook other causes such as an inflammatory scalp, deficiencies, medication or a temporary reaction to strain. Good care is valuable – it achieves the most when it fits the actual cause.

Care that supports everyday life

Even with hereditary factors, a healthy and well-cared-for scalp remains important. The POWER Shampoo 2.0 cleanses gently. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

Together, shampoo, lotion and caps make a clear routine: cleanse the scalp, apply the lotion regularly and support the hair from within. If you would like to extend your beauty routine, you can use NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster as a supplement. Both are intended to support your personal nutrient routine and not as a substitute for medical treatment.

Give it time and document changes

If you start a new routine, you should use it regularly and in a way you tolerate well, and not judge it after just a few days. Hair structure and hair density change slowly.

The hair check: your next step

A receding hairline, a thinning crown or something else after all? In the hair check, a few targeted questions help you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind your hair loss, and you receive a product recommendation to match.

Why more hair often falls out after giving birth

During pregnancy, more hairs than usual remain in the growth phase. After the birth, hormone levels change, and some of these hairs move into a resting phase with a delay. That is why the hair loss is often only noticed a few weeks or months after the birth and can temporarily seem considerably heavier. This time lag worries many mothers at first.

The change is often temporary, but it should always be seen in the context of your personal situation. Lack of sleep, stress, a difficult birth, heavy blood loss, an unbalanced diet or the thyroid can additionally influence how your hair develops. If the hair falls out in clearly defined patches or the scalp is inflamed, this should be checked by a doctor.

What can help in everyday life

• Wash your scalp regularly without rubbing hard, and detangle your hair carefully.
• Avoid very tight plaits, tight hair ties and intense heat if your hair already seems sensitive.
• Make sure you eat balanced meals with enough protein and drink enough.
• Give the change time and calmly observe how it develops.

The POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

Food supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, food supplements such as POWER Caps 2.0, NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster should only be taken after consulting a medical professional. Which nutrients make sense depends on your diet, your blood values and your individual situation. External scalp care can accompany the routine.

If the cause is temporary, the hair cycle can return to normal over time. Observe how things develop and, if needed, document your parting.

Your next step after giving birth: the hair check

Hormonal changes, lack of sleep or nutrients – a lot comes together after a birth. In the hair check, you answer a few targeted questions and find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind your hair loss. You also get a product recommendation that suits your situation.

Changes are common – but not always the same

During the menopause, the structure of the hair can change: the hair seems finer, drier or less voluminous, and the growth phases can shift. In some women the parting gets wider; in others it is mainly the overall density that decreases. The decline in certain hormones is one possible factor, but not the only explanation.

In addition, stress, lack of sleep, the thyroid, iron supply, medication or an existing hereditary predisposition can play a role. So observe not only the amount of hair, but also the progression and your scalp. Clearly defined bald patches or a painful, burning scalp should be checked by a doctor. If hair loss increases rapidly or persists for a longer time, it is worth getting to the bottom of the cause.

The scalp remains the foundation

A regular, well-tolerated routine can make the hair look better cared for and stronger, and can support the scalp in its care. POWER Shampoo 2.0 cleanses gently. POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

Together with enough protein, exercise, rest and a gentle approach to heat and pulling, this creates a care routine that works in everyday life. What matters is to use the products regularly and to give your hair time to develop, rather than judging the routine after just a few days.

A complementary beauty and nutrient routine

For a more comprehensive beauty and nutrient routine, NutriVit Premium Kollagen and the NutriVit Booster may be of interest as a supplement. Collagen and a selected vitamin and mineral routine are no substitute for hormone treatment or medical treatment. But together with good scalp care, they can be part of a personal routine.

Your next step during the menopause: the hair check

If your parting is visibly changing or the hair loss is increasing, it helps to tailor your care to the real cause. In the hair check, a few targeted questions help you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind it in your case, and you receive a matching product recommendation.

Can a deficiency trigger hair loss?

Hair loss can have many different causes. However, an unbalanced diet or a prolonged undersupply of certain nutrients can put additional strain on hair growth. Iron, protein, zinc, vitamin B12, folate or vitamin D are frequently mentioned. This does not mean that every thinning area of hair is automatically due to a deficiency. What matters is the progression, your personal situation and, where appropriate, your blood values.

Observe whether the hair loss occurs diffusely all over your head, or whether your parting is getting wider, your hairline is receding or bald patches are appearing. Tiredness, difficulty concentrating, paleness, sensitivity to cold or changes in weight can be additional indications, but they do not prove a deficiency. Stress, hormones, infections, medication and hereditary factors are also possible causes. Clearly defined bald patches, an inflamed scalp or very rapid hair loss with additional symptoms should be checked by a doctor.

First assess, then supplement in a targeted way

With hair loss that persists for a longer time or gets worse, it is worth getting to the bottom of the cause. Whether there really is a deficiency is ultimately shown only by blood values such as iron status, thyroid or other nutrients. High-dose preparations should not simply be taken on suspicion. Too much of individual vitamins or minerals is not automatically better and can even have undesirable effects.

• Make sure you eat regular meals with enough protein.
• Avoid unbalanced crash diets and severe weight loss.
• Note down new medication, illnesses and particular strains.
• Give a new routine enough time, rather than switching after a few days.

POWER 2.0 for daily hair care

Whatever the cause, a well-cared-for scalp is part of the foundation. The POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing of scalp and hair. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

As a supplement to your personal beauty and nutrient routine, NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster may be of interest. However, these products are no substitute for a balanced diet, a blood test or any treatment you individually need.

Your next step: deficiency or another cause? Do the hair check

A nutrient deficiency is not behind every case of hair loss. In the hair check, you answer a few targeted questions and find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind your hair problem – with a product recommendation to match.

When the hair becomes thinner overall

Iron deficiency is often associated with diffuse hair loss. In this case, the hair does not just become sparser in one place, but seems finer all over the head. The parting can appear wider, and you notice more hairs when washing or brushing. However, an iron deficiency is only one possible cause. The thyroid, hormones, stress, infections, medication or a hereditary predisposition can also affect the hair.

Iron supply can be an issue particularly with heavy or long periods, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, after bleeding, with a very unbalanced diet or with problems absorbing nutrients. Tiredness, pale skin, difficulty concentrating, brittle nails or sensitivity to cold can occur, but they are not conclusive. Self-diagnosis based on individual symptoms is therefore not reliable.

Blood values instead of assumptions

Whether there really is an iron deficiency can only be determined through blood values – depending on the situation, the blood count and iron status are looked at. Only then can it be decided whether targeted supplementation is necessary and at what dose. Don't simply take iron in high doses over a longer period. This way you also don't lose sight of the actual cause. Patchy hair loss with clearly defined bald patches should be checked by a doctor.

• Observe the progression and pattern of the hair loss over several weeks.
• Make sure you eat balanced meals and enough protein.
• Keep heavy periods, pregnancy or new symptoms in mind as possible influencing factors.

Caring for scalp and hair at the same time

The POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports the gentle cleansing of scalp and hair. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

The POWER 2.0 routine can be supplemented with NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster if this suits your personal situation. However, food supplements are no substitute for targeted treatment of a proven iron deficiency.

Patience is part of it

The hair cycle does not respond overnight. Even once the cause has been identified and treated, it can take time for hair density to change visibly. Document the progression and care for your scalp regularly.

Your next step: clarity with the hair check

Iron is only one of several possible triggers. In the hair check, a few targeted questions help you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind your thinning hair, and you receive a matching product recommendation.

What can happen after you stop taking the pill

After you stop taking the pill, your hormonal situation changes. Your body re-establishes its own hormone regulation, and the hair cycle can respond to this adjustment with a delay. In some women, the hair temporarily becomes thinner or more hair falls out diffusely. The change does not necessarily show up straight away, but may only become noticeable a few weeks or months later.

Your original predisposition can also become more visible again. If the pill previously toned down hormone-related blemishes or a sensitive hair condition, your skin and hair may develop differently once you stop taking it. This is not the same for every woman and does not automatically mean that the hair loss will be permanent. Stress, weight loss, iron deficiency, the thyroid, pregnancy or other medication can also play a part.

Keep a close eye on how things develop

Take photos of your parting, hairline and crown in similar light, and note when you stopped taking the pill and when the hair loss began. Pay attention to whether the hair is becoming thinner all over your head, whether your parting is getting wider or whether individual bald patches are forming. In the case of rapid hair loss, marked changes in your cycle, acne, pronounced tiredness or other new symptoms, it is worth looking more closely into the cause. Clearly defined bald patches or an inflamed scalp should be checked by a doctor.

• Avoid tight hairstyles, strong pulling and very hot styling tools.
• Make sure you have regular meals, enough protein and enough rest.
• Do not start several high-dose food supplements at the same time.

The POWER 2.0 routine

The POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss. In this way, the routine combines scalp care with complementary support from within.

NutriVit Premium Kollagen can complement your beauty routine; the NutriVit Booster can round off your daily nutrient routine. If you are planning a pregnancy, are pregnant or are breastfeeding, taking food supplements should be discussed with a healthcare professional beforehand.

Your next step: the hair check

After stopping the pill, the hormonal adjustment is an obvious explanation, but not always the only one. With the hair check, a few targeted questions help you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely to be behind your hair loss.

At the end, you receive a product recommendation that suits your situation. That way, you know where to start with your care routine.

Why hair looks and feels like straw

Straw-like hair feels rough, loses its shine and is often difficult to detangle. Frequently, the outer cuticle layers of the hair fibre are roughened or the lengths have lost moisture and lipids. Triggers can include frequent colouring or bleaching, hot hairdryers and straighteners, sun, chlorinated water, dry heated air, friction or very frequent washing. Fine, naturally curly or already damaged hair also reacts particularly sensitively.

The scalp and the lengths of your hair do not necessarily need the same thing. The scalp should be kept clean and cared for with products it tolerates well, while the lengths should be exposed to as little friction and heat as possible. A “straw-like” feel can also be made worse by hair breakage. So check whether you can see lots of short, broken hairs.

A gentle routine for damaged lengths

• Wash with lukewarm water and do not rub your hair dry.
• Gently squeeze the water out with a soft towel and detangle from the ends upwards.
• Reduce heat, chemical treatments and tight hairstyles.
• Protect the lengths in the sun, when swimming and in strong wind.

A regular trim removes ends that have already split. No product can make a split hair fibre permanently grow back together. However, care can make the hair appear smoother, improve combability and reduce new strain.

POWER 2.0 for scalp and hair

The POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing and a well-cared-for scalp. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss. The products support a complete routine, while the mechanical strain on the lengths is reduced.

For a complementary beauty routine, NutriVit Premium Kollagen may be of interest. With straw-like lengths, however, what also remains crucial is gentle treatment on the outside, regular care and a realistic approach to ends that are already damaged.

Find the cause: take the hair check

If your hair becomes very dry or brittle without any recognisable external strain, or if noticeably more hair is falling out at the same time, there is often more behind it than hair damage alone. In the hair check, you answer a few targeted questions and find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely to be behind your hair problem.

You also get a product recommendation that suits your hair and your scalp.

Dryness often begins with overload

Extremely dry hair looks dull, rough and brittle. It becomes statically charged more easily, tangles more quickly and is more likely to break under strain. Common reasons are bleaching, frequent colouring, hot tools, harsh cleansing, very hot water or dry air. Long hair, curls and fine hair textures also lose moisture more quickly because the natural protective substances do not reach the ends evenly.

Distinguish whether it is mainly the lengths that are dry or whether your scalp also feels tight, itches or flakes. A dry scalp needs different care from dry, chemically stressed ends. If the texture changes very suddenly or severe hair loss occurs as well, it is worth getting to the bottom of the cause. Weeping patches or severe burning on the scalp should be checked by a doctor.

What the hair fibre needs now

• Wash your scalp with lukewarm water and avoid unnecessary rubbing.
• Blow-dry from a distance and at a moderate temperature; use straighteners and curling tongs only rarely.
• Detangle wet hair particularly carefully and avoid vigorous brushing.
• Have dry or split ends trimmed regularly.
• Protect your hair from sun, chlorinated water and constant friction against clothing or pillows.

A product can make the surface temporarily smoother and more supple. However, hair fibres that are already severely damaged cannot be fully repaired. A consistent, gentle routine therefore makes more sense than frequent, drastic changes.

Scalp care from the outside and support from within

The POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing of scalp and hair. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is used directly on the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

If you would like to complement your beauty routine, you can include NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster. Food supplements do not replace a balanced diet and do not repair a hair fibre damaged by heat or chemicals. Together with good care, however, they can be part of a long-term routine.

Your next step: the hair check for dry hair

The right care depends on whether the cause is dry lengths, an irritated scalp or some other strain. Take the hair check now: with a few targeted questions, you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely to be behind your hair or scalp problem.

Afterwards, you receive a suitable product recommendation for your routine.

What split ends mean

With split ends, the hair fibre splits at the tip. The ends feel rough, get caught more easily and often look lighter or frayed. Common triggers are friction, heat, bleaching, colouring, frequent brushing, tight hairstyles and going a long time without a trim. The longer a split end is left unattended, the further the split can travel up into the lengths.

A realistic expectation is important: care products can temporarily smooth the surface and improve combability, but a hair fibre that has already split does not grow back together. The reliable way to remove existing split ends is a small, regular trim.

Preventing split ends

• Reduce heat from hairdryers, straighteners and curling tongs, and do not hold tools on one spot for too long.
• Detangle your hair carefully from the ends upwards.
• Avoid vigorous rubbing with a towel and constant friction against clothing or pillows.
• If your hair is long or chemically treated, plan regular trims.

The scalp should not be forgotten either. Well-cared-for roots, gentle cleansing and as little pulling from tight hairstyles as possible form the basis for the entire length of the hair.

Using the POWER 2.0 routine sensibly

The POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports the gentle cleansing of scalp and hair. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

In addition, NutriVit Premium Kollagen can be part of a personal beauty routine. With split ends, however, what matters most is treating the lengths gently. The POWER products support scalp and hair care; they do not replace trimming hair that has already split.

More than split ends? The hair check shows you

If your hair suddenly becomes very brittle despite gentle care, your scalp is causing problems or noticeably more hair is falling out at the same time, split ends may be only part of the picture. The hair check helps you to better distinguish external damage from other possible causes: in under 2 minutes, a few targeted questions tell you which cause is likely to be behind it in your case.

Finally, you get a product recommendation that matches your result.

Telling hair breakage and regrowth apart

Short hairs on the top of your head can be new hairs growing back. But they can also be caused by hair breakage. Regrowth usually varies in length, has a natural tapered tip and slowly catches up with the rest of your hair. Broken hairs often have a blunt or frayed tip, feel rough and appear in larger numbers in an area that is under strain.

On the top of the head, heat, sun, colouring, bleaching, tight hairstyles, friction and frequent straightening have a particularly strong effect. A parting that always sits in the same place can also make the short hairs more visible. Observe whether the breakage only occurs on the surface or whether the density at your hairline is decreasing at the same time.

Reducing the most common sources of strain

• Do not wear plaits, buns and hairpieces tightly all the time.
• Use heat from a distance and at as low a temperature as possible.
• Detangle your hair carefully and do not pull at small knots.
• Change the direction of your parting occasionally, if that is possible without pulling.
• Plan breaks between bleaching and other chemical treatments.

Not every change on the top of the head is pure hair breakage. Pain, marked redness or clearly defined bald patches should be checked by a doctor.

POWER 2.0 for a consistent routine

The POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

This cares for the scalp and supports the hair from within. NutriVit Premium Kollagen can complement your beauty routine. For less hair breakage, however, what also remains crucial is less pulling, less heat and careful treatment of the lengths.

Document your progress

Take photos of the top of your head in similar light and do not compare the pictures every day. Hair growth is slow.

Hair breakage or hair loss? Your next step is the hair check

If the density on the top of your head is visibly decreasing or the hair loss is increasing, it is worth getting to the bottom of the cause. In the hair check, a few targeted questions help you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely to be behind the short hairs and the hair loss.

You also receive a product recommendation that suits your situation.

Why your scalp can itch

Itching can be triggered by dry skin, frequent washing, hot water, dandruff, sweat, styling residue or an intolerance. Skin conditions such as seborrhoeic dermatitis, atopic eczema, psoriasis or a contact reaction to hair dye and care products are also possible. That is why it matters when the itching starts and whether flakes, redness, burning, weeping patches or hair loss occur as well.

Scratching brings brief relief, but can injure the skin further. Small scratch marks make irritation and inflammation more likely. With a new product or a new hair dye, you should watch carefully whether the symptoms are linked to it in time.

What you can try straight away

• Wash your scalp with lukewarm water and rinse out care and styling residue thoroughly.
• For the time being, avoid new, heavily perfumed or irritating products.
• Do not rub or scratch vigorously; dry your scalp gently.
• Clean brushes and combs regularly and do not share them with others.

An itchy scalp that persists over a longer period should not simply be ignored. Swelling, weeping patches, pain or bald patches that appear suddenly should be checked by a doctor.

POWER 2.0 with consideration for your scalp

The POWER Shampoo 2.0 is intended for gentle cleansing of scalp and hair. New products should first of all be well tolerated; if your scalp is acutely irritated, you should stop using them and let your scalp settle first. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is intended for targeted scalp care and specifically counteracts hair loss, but should not be applied to a scalp that is burning severely or injured.

POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss. NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster can complement a beauty and nutrient routine, but do not remedy the trigger of an itchy scalp.

Patience and careful observation

Note when the itching occurs and which products, colourings or strains came before it. This makes it easier to find the trigger and achieves more than constantly switching products.

On the trail of the itching: your hair check

If the symptoms persist or keep coming back, it helps to narrow down the cause. Take the hair check now: in under 2 minutes, a few targeted questions help you find out which cause is likely to be behind your scalp problem.

Afterwards, you get a product recommendation that suits your scalp.

Dry scalp or dandruff?

Small, white, rather dry flakes can form when the scalp loses moisture or is irritated. Heated indoor air, very hot water, frequent washing, harsh products, cold weather or intense blow-drying can put strain on the natural protective barrier. The scalp then often feels tight and itches slightly.

However, not all flakes look the same. Larger, yellowish, sticky flakes or a reddened, oily scalp can point to a different cause. So the same applies to dry flakes: if the symptoms persist, get worse or hair loss occurs as well, it is worth getting to the bottom of the cause. A weeping, painful or severely inflamed scalp should be checked by a doctor.

Gentle steps in everyday life

• Wash with lukewarm water and massage only gently with your fingertips.
• Rinse shampoo out thoroughly and do not use more product than necessary.
• Reduce very hot air directly on the scalp.
• Avoid scratching as well as harsh home remedies and frequent product changes.

Regular, gentle cleansing is usually more helpful than infrequent, very vigorous washing. Let your scalp dry well after washing and observe whether the flakes change with the routine.

POWER 2.0 for a well-cared-for scalp

The POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing of scalp and hair. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. If your scalp is dry but not acutely irritated, it can be part of a regular routine; in the case of burning or open areas, tolerability should be clarified first.

POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss. NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster can additionally be part of a personal beauty routine. They do not replace treatment of an inflammatory scalp condition.

Understand dandruff better: take the hair check

A dry scalp, oily dandruff or an irritated skin barrier each need different care. In the hair check, you answer a few targeted questions and find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely to be behind your dandruff.

You also receive a product recommendation that suits your scalp.

What can be behind oily dandruff

Oily flakes often look larger, yellowish or sticky and cling more firmly to the scalp. Itching, redness and oily roots may occur as well. A common cause is a seborrhoeic scalp, in which sebum, the skin barrier and the natural microflora interact. Unsuitable styling products, infrequent washing, stress or hormonal changes can also make the situation worse.

Oily dandruff is not simply a hygiene problem. Washing too vigorously, heavy scratching or harsh alcohol-based and home remedies can irritate the scalp further. If the flakes are thick or keep coming back, it is worth getting to the bottom of the cause. Severe inflammation, bald patches or symptoms that also affect the eyebrows and face should be checked by a doctor.

Cleanse your scalp regularly, but gently

• Wash your roots as needed and use lukewarm rather than very hot water.
• Massage with your fingertips, without scratching the flakes off with your nails.
• Rinse out shampoo, dry shampoo and styling products thoroughly.
• Avoid heavy oils or very greasy products directly on the scalp if they make the symptoms worse.

In the case of more severe seborrhoeic dermatitis, special medicated shampoos may be necessary. A cosmetic care product can provide support, but does not replace targeted treatment.

POWER 2.0 and healthy hair care

The POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports the gentle cleansing of scalp and hair. The POWER Lotion 2.0 is intended for targeted care of the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. If your scalp is clearly reddened or inflamed, tolerability should be clarified first.

POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss. NutriVit Premium Kollagen and the NutriVit Booster can complement your personal beauty and nutrient routine. They are not intended as a treatment for oily dandruff.

If hair is falling out at the same time: your hair check

A well-cared-for scalp is important, but it is the cause that determines which care makes sense. If increasing hair loss occurs alongside the oily dandruff, the hair check helps you find out in under 2 minutes, with a few targeted questions, which cause is likely to be behind it in your case.

At the end, there is a product recommendation that suits your scalp and your hair.

Irritation or allergic reaction?

A slight feeling of warmth during colouring can occur. Burning, severe stinging, increasing itching, redness, swelling or pain, however, are warning signs. Irritation can be caused by leaving the dye on for too long, by injured skin, a high concentration or unsuitable application. A contact allergy to an ingredient in the hair dye is also possible. The reaction can still intensify after rinsing.

If you feel distinct burning, rinse the dye out immediately and thoroughly with plenty of lukewarm water and, for the time being, do not use any further dye or irritating care products. Scratching, hot blow-drying and harsh home remedies can put additional strain on the skin. In the case of swelling, blisters, weeping patches, severe pain, breathing or circulatory problems, or a rapidly worsening reaction, immediate medical help is necessary.

What matters afterwards

• Until things have calmed down, do without further colouring, bleaching and intensive styling products.
• Wash only gently and rinse out residue thoroughly.
• Do not apply any new products to a burning, open or weeping scalp.
• Monitor how things develop: the reaction should subside from day to day and not get stronger.

With repeated reactions, an intolerance to an ingredient is often behind it; it is then worth getting to the bottom of the cause and looking into alternatives. A small test before colouring makes sense, but does not protect against a reaction in every case.

POWER 2.0 only once things have calmed down

The POWER Shampoo 2.0 can support gentle cleansing after an acute reaction, provided it is well tolerated. The POWER Lotion 2.0 specifically counteracts hair loss, but should not be applied to a burning or injured scalp without clarifying tolerability. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster can complement your beauty and nutrient routine later on. They do not treat an acute reaction to hair dye.

Once your scalp is calm again: your hair check

A burning scalp after colouring should not simply be covered up. Only once your scalp is calm and intact again should a new care routine be introduced, carefully and one product at a time.

Then the hair check will help you further: in under 2 minutes, a few targeted questions help you find out which cause is likely to be behind your hair or scalp problem, and you get a suitable product recommendation.

Red patches are a sign, not a diagnosis

Red patches on the scalp can have very different causes. Short-lived redness can appear after scratching, vigorous rubbing, hot blow-drying, a new care product or a hair dye. But dry or irritated skin, seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis, an inflammation of the hair roots or a contact reaction are also possible. That is why it is important to look not only at the colour of the patch, but also at accompanying signs and how it develops over time.

Pay attention to whether the patches itch, burn, weep or hurt, or whether they come with flakes, crusts, pustules or hair loss. Clearly defined red, scaly areas with less hair should be taken particularly seriously. And if the redness develops after colouring your hair or using a new product, the possible trigger should not be used again until the skin has calmed down.

Warning signs you should take seriously

• The redness spreads or persists for several days.
• Pain, swelling, blisters, weeping areas or thick crusts develop.
• In addition, hair falls out in clearly defined areas.
• The symptoms start after a hair dye and keep getting worse.

Signs like these should be checked by a doctor – immediately in the case of facial swelling, breathing problems or a rapidly worsening allergic reaction. A red scalp should not simply be covered up with one new product after another.

Gentle care for the scalp

Wash with lukewarm water, do not rub hard, and rinse out care and styling products thoroughly. POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing of the scalp and hair, provided it is well tolerated. POWER Lotion 2.0 specifically counteracts hair loss, but should not be applied to an acutely burning, injured or weeping scalp before it is clear that it is tolerated.

POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss. NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster can later complement a personal beauty and nutrient routine. However, they do not treat an inflamed scalp.

Your next step: the hair check

Photograph the area in similar light and note down new products, hair dyes or other triggers. That way you can keep an eye on how things develop.

If hair loss comes on top of the irritated scalp, it is worth getting to the bottom of the cause. In the hair check, a few targeted questions help you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind your hair problem, and you receive a matching product recommendation.

What does “thinning hair” mean?

Many people first notice that their ponytail has less volume, their parting is getting wider or their scalp is more visible in the light. Sometimes hair density really is decreasing; sometimes the lengths are breaking off, or the hair fibre is becoming finer through colouring, heat and friction. A combination is possible too. That is why it is worth observing the roots, the parting and the lengths separately.

Diffuse thinning can occur after stress, an infection, weight loss, hormonal changes or an inadequate supply of nutrients. A slow decline at the parting or in certain areas, on the other hand, can fit a hereditary pattern. Sudden bald patches, a red or painful scalp and heavy dandruff point more towards a different cause and should be checked by a doctor.

Observe early and look into the cause

Photograph your parting and crown every few weeks in similar light. Note when the change began and whether, in the months before, there was an illness, a particularly large amount of stress, a diet, a birth, new medication or a hormonal change. If hair loss persists or increases, it is worth getting to the bottom of the cause.

• Avoid tight hairstyles, strong pulling and frequent intense heat.
• Make sure you eat regular meals with enough protein.
• Do not switch between lots of different products every day.
• Judge the progress over weeks, not on the basis of a single wash day.

The POWER 2.0 routine

POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing and a well-cared-for scalp. POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

If you would like to extend your beauty routine, you can use NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster as a supplement. The products are intended as support for your daily routine.

Patience and realistic expectations

The hair cycle is slow. Consistent care can help hair and scalp look well cared for, stronger and more resilient. How much hair density changes, however, depends on the cause.

Your next step: take the hair check

Not sure why your hair is getting thinner? In the hair check, a few targeted questions help you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind it, and you receive a matching product recommendation.

How a receding hairline at the temples can develop

A receding hairline at the temples refers to the indentations on either side of the hairline above the temples. In men, they are often part of a hereditary pattern: the hairline slowly recedes and the hair in the affected areas becomes finer. In women, a similar picture can arise from genetic predisposition, hormonal changes or repeated tension from tight hairstyles. A receding hairline therefore cannot automatically be judged in the same way for everyone.

Pay attention to whether the change appears slowly and on both sides, or whether it is sudden, patchy or accompanied by redness, itching and pain. If the eyebrows are also getting thinner or the skin at the hairline looks inflamed, this should be checked by a doctor.

What you can observe yourself

• Photograph your hairline regularly in the same lighting.
• Avoid tight braids, tight ponytails and constant tension at the temples.
• Reduce heat and harsh chemical treatments at the hairline.
• Note down family predisposition, hormonal changes and when the change began.

What matters is whether it is more likely to be hereditary hair loss, hair breakage, strain from tension or an inflammatory cause. The earlier a progressive pattern is recognised, the better further care can be planned.

POWER 2.0 for scalp and hair

POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing. POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

The POWER 2.0 hair care set combines cleansing, scalp care and support from within. NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster can complement your personal beauty and nutrient routine. In the case of very advanced hereditary hair loss, a hair transplant can also be an option; the POWER products can be used before and after it to care for and strengthen the hair.

Not every receding corner is hereditary

If the hair loss increases rapidly, bald patches appear or the scalp is causing discomfort, you should not simply assume it is a receding hairline.

Making sense of a receding hairline: your next step is the hair check

Whether predisposition, hormones or tension from tight hairstyles: in the hair check, a few targeted questions help you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind your receding hairline, and you receive a matching product recommendation.

Why the crown can look thinner

At the crown, several natural directions of hair growth meet. As a result, the scalp may always have been slightly visible in certain lighting conditions. However, if the area newly looks noticeably thinner, gets larger or the hair around it becomes finer, a decrease in hair density may be behind it. In men, the crown is a typical area for hereditary hair loss; in women, a widening parting on the top of the head can likewise have various causes.

The crown can also be particularly noticeable with diffuse hair loss after stress, infections, weight loss, hormonal changes or nutrient problems. Redness, flakes, pain, itching or clearly defined bald patches do not simply fit a normal crown and should be checked by a doctor.

Assessing the progress correctly

Photograph the crown from above in similar light, if possible with the same hair length and a similar hairstyle. Wet hair, strong light and a different parting can temporarily change the impression. Compare the pictures at intervals of several weeks, not daily.

• Avoid strong pulling and very tight hairstyles on the top of the head.
• Reduce harsh colouring and intense heat.
• Cleanse the scalp regularly and gently.
• Get to the bottom of increasing or unexplained hair loss.

A routine for scalp and hair

Thinning crown? Your next step is the hair check

The more precisely the pattern is known, the more specifically care and further steps can be planned. In the hair check, a few targeted questions help you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind your thinning crown, and you receive a matching product recommendation.

Loss of volume can have several reasons

When hair loses volume, the individual hair fibre may have become finer, overall density may be decreasing, or the lengths have become shorter through hair breakage. Greasy roots, dry or damaged ends and heavy styling products also make hair look flatter. So the impression in the mirror does not always tell you something about the number of hairs on its own.

Observe your parting, hairline, crown and ends separately. Is the parting getting wider? Is more hair falling out when you wash it? Are lots of short, broken hairs visible? Is there itching, dandruff or red areas? These clues help to distinguish between lower density, hair breakage and a care problem.

More fullness starts with less strain

• Wash the roots as needed and rinse out styling residues thoroughly.
• Avoid permanently tight hairstyles and strong friction.
• Blow-dry at a distance and at a moderate temperature.
• Detangle wet hair carefully and have split ends trimmed regularly.
• Make sure you get balanced meals, protein and enough rest.

A haircut or styling can create more fullness in the short term. If the loss of volume is new, is increasing or goes hand in hand with actual hair loss, it is worth getting to the bottom of possible causes such as hormones, iron supply, the thyroid, stress or hereditary hair loss.

POWER 2.0 for more care from the outside and the inside

POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing of the scalp and hair. POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

The POWER 2.0 hair care set combines the three steps in one fixed routine. NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster can be used to complement your personal beauty and nutrient routine.

Realistic expectations

Well-cared-for hair can look stronger, more resilient and fuller. If density really is decreasing, clarifying the cause and any change take time. Sudden heavy or patchy hair loss should be checked by a doctor.

Less volume? Your next step: the hair check

Finer hair fibre, lower density or hair breakage: in the hair check, a few targeted questions help you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind your loss of volume, and you receive a matching product recommendation.

Dry hair can have various causes

Dry, dull or brittle hair is often caused by colouring, bleaching, heat, dry air, friction or unsuitable care. However, if your hair newly becomes dry without a clear external explanation and at the same time gets thinner or falls out, the thyroid may also play a role. An underactive thyroid in particular can be accompanied by dry skin, dry hair, tiredness, sensitivity to cold, constipation, concentration problems or changes in weight. These symptoms are not conclusive, though.

A dry hair structure alone does not prove a thyroid disorder. Iron deficiency, hormonal changes, stress, medication or a damaged hair fibre are also possible causes.

Do not change your medication yourself

If a thyroid disorder is already known, medication should not be stopped, increased or reduced on your own initiative. Questions about medication, as well as signs such as pronounced tiredness, strong sensitivity to cold or changes in weight, should be checked by a doctor. Hair also responds with a delay, so patience is needed when a cause is being treated.

• Reduce hot styling tools and harsh chemical treatments.
• Wash the scalp gently and detangle the lengths carefully.
• Make sure you get enough protein, regular meals and rest.

POWER 2.0 as an external and internal routine

POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports the gentle cleansing of scalp and hair. POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

As a complementary beauty and nutrient routine, NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster may be of interest. They do not replace thyroid treatment.

Dry and thinner? Your next step: the hair check

You can gently continue your hair care at any time. If your hair is dry and at the same time getting thinner or falling out, a few targeted questions in the hair check help you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind it, and you receive a matching product recommendation.

Stress can affect the hair cycle

Severe physical or emotional stress can contribute to more hairs than usual shifting into a resting phase. The increased shedding then often does not become visible straight away during the stressful period, but only weeks or months later. Triggers can be ongoing overload, lack of sleep, a serious illness, fever, an operation, a strict diet or a major emotional upheaval.

But stress is not automatically the only cause. Iron deficiency, the thyroid, hormones, medication, infections and hereditary hair loss can look similar or occur at the same time. If the hair loss is patchy or accompanied by marked scalp complaints, this should be checked by a doctor.

What really counts in everyday life

• Try to get your sleep and regular meals back on a stable footing.
• Avoid severe weight loss and one-sided diets.
• Treat your hair and scalp gently and do without tight hairstyles.
• Note down the timing, duration and possible triggers of the stress.
• Get support if stress, anxiety or exhaustion persist in the long term.

Easing the strain can help the whole body, but the hair cycle needs time. More hair in the brush a few days after a stressful phase does not automatically mean that the situation will stay that way permanently.

POWER 2.0 as a consistent care routine

POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing. POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

Document the progress

Photos in similar light and a short note on stress, sleep, illnesses and diet help to put the situation into context.

Stress or something else? Your next step: the hair check

If the hair loss does not settle down over a longer period, it is worth getting to the bottom of the cause. In the hair check, a few targeted questions help you find out in under 2 minutes whether stress or another cause is likely behind your hair loss, and you receive a matching product recommendation.

Hair reacts sensitively to changes

Hair grows slowly and needs, among other things, protein as well as various vitamins and minerals. With a prolonged undersupply, hair can look finer, drier, more brittle or duller; increased diffuse hair loss is also possible. Depending on your personal situation, those mentioned include iron, zinc, vitamin B12, folate, vitamin D and protein. However, individual hair symptoms do not prove a specific deficiency.

Similar changes can be caused by hormones, the thyroid, stress, infections, medication, colouring, heat or hereditary factors. Taking too much of individual nutrients is not automatically a good idea either. That is why food supplements should not be chosen simply after a glance at your hair.

Your personal situation counts

With persistent hair loss or marked changes in hair structure, it is worth getting to the bottom of the cause. Diet, blood loss, menstrual periods, pregnancy, illnesses, medication and changes in weight all play a role here. Only blood values show whether there really is a deficiency.

• Eat regularly and with variety, with enough protein.
• Avoid extreme diets and severe weight loss.
• Also look out for tiredness, pale skin, brittle nails or concentration problems.
• Only start targeted supplementation once it fits your own situation.

POWER 2.0 and NutriVit as a routine

POWER Shampoo 2.0 supports gentle cleansing. POWER Lotion 2.0 is applied directly to the scalp and specifically counteracts hair loss. POWER Caps 2.0 strengthen the hair from within, improve the anchoring of the hair and counteract hair loss.

NutriVit Premium Kollagen or the NutriVit Booster can complement a personal beauty and nutrient routine. They are no substitute for a balanced diet, a blood test or the targeted treatment of a diagnosed deficiency.

Patience as things change

Even when a deficiency is identified and treated, the hair structure does not change straight away. The hair cycle needs time. Document the progress. Patchy hair loss should be checked by a doctor.

Your next step: the hair check instead of guesswork

Nutrients, hormones, stress or predisposition? In the hair check, a few targeted questions help you find out in under 2 minutes which cause is likely behind your hair symptoms, and you receive a matching product recommendation.

Why hair can look finer with increasing age

With increasing age, growth phases, hair thickness and hair density can change. In hereditary hair loss, certain hair roots react more sensitively to hormonal influences. The hair in the affected areas gradually becomes finer and grows shorter. In men, a receding hairline at the temples, a receding hairline in general or a thinning crown are common. In women, it is mainly the parting on the top of the head that can become wider.

A family predisposition is a clue, but not every change with age is hereditary. The thyroid, iron supply, medication, hormonal changes, stress, illnesses and scalp inflammation can also affect hair density. Sudden bald patches, red patches, pain or heavy dandruff do not simply fit a slowly progressing hereditary pattern and should be checked by a doctor.

Recognise it early and put it into context

Photograph your parting, hairline and crown regularly in similar light. That way you can see whether a hereditary pattern is emerging. Especially with rapid progression or additional complaints, the cause should not be put down to age alone.

• Avoid tight hairstyles and unnecessary tension on the hairline and temples.
• Reduce intense heat as well as harsh chemical treatments.
• Care for the scalp regularly and gently.
• Make sure you get a balanced diet, enough protein and rest.
