1. Why does Afro hair fall out?
1.1. Traction Alopecia
Tightly braided hairstyles or tight ponytails cause excessive tension at the roots of the hair, especially at the edges. In the long run, this leads to hair breakage and thin edges.
1.2. CCCA (Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia)
An inflammatory form of hair loss that usually begins at the crown and spreads in a circular pattern. If detected early, it is treatable – so symptoms such as itching, pain, or sensitivity should be taken seriously.
Important: Studies show that chemical relaxers , frequent coloring , and other aggressive treatments are linked to the occurrence of CCCA. Therefore, it's especially important to use gentle, natural care products and protect your scalp.
1.3. Hormonal hair loss
Often genetically determined and exacerbated by hormonal changes, e.g. after pregnancy or during menopause.
1.4. Telogen effluvium (stress-related hair loss)
Physical or emotional stress can send the hair follicles into the resting phase prematurely – hair loss then usually occurs later.
1.5. Poor nutrition and scalp problems
A deficiency of iron, zinc, biotin or proteins as well as an inflamed scalp can severely impair growth.
2. Harmful ingredients in hair products – the hidden risks
Unfortunately, many products marketed for Afro hair contain ingredients that cause long-term damage:
-
Sulfates - Although they clean thoroughly, they remove the hair's natural oils.
-
Silicones - They form a film over the hair and block moisture and nutrients.
-
Parabens Can have a hormone-like effect and cause skin irritation.
Especially for dry and highly textured hair such as type 4, it is crucial to avoid such substances.
