How to care for your hair when you suffer from chronic hair loss?
Chronic hair loss is characterized by progressive loss of hair density, mainly on the top of the head. Hair gradually becomes thinner and more fragile, more difficult to style. Current treatments cannot stop hair loss, but they can effectively slow its progression. There are also a few simple daily care rituals you can adopt to help keep your hair healthy.
