Hair loss: causes, solutions, and the best supplements to restore your hair in 2026
Compartir
Is your hair falling out more than usual? You are not alone. Hair loss is one of the most common hair problems and one of the most searched on the internet. In both men and women, it can appear at any stage of life and, although rarely serious, it has a real impact on self-esteem and well-being.
The good news is that in most cases, it can be solved. In this article, we explain why hair falls out, what factors accelerate it, and what products and habits can make a difference.
Why does hair fall out? The most frequent causes
Hair has a natural life cycle: it grows, rests, and falls out. Losing between 50 and 100 hairs a day is completely normal. The problem appears when that number skyrockets and the hair does not regenerate at the same speed.
The most common causes are:
Nutritional deficiencies. Hair needs vitamins and minerals to grow strong. Lack of biotin, zinc, iron, folic acid, or B vitamins are among the most common causes and also the easiest to correct with proper nutrition or supplementation.
Stress and hormonal changes. Chronic stress alters the hair cycle and can trigger diffuse hair loss. Hormonal changes—pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, or variations in androgen levels—also directly affect hair health.
Genetics. Androgenetic alopecia, better known as hereditary baldness, affects millions of people in Spain. In men, it manifests as a receding hairline and crown thinning; in women, as a widening of the part.
External factors. Excessive use of heat, harsh dyes, constant friction with hair ties, or washing with inappropriate products weaken hair from the outside and accelerate its loss.
What supplements really work for hair loss?
The market is full of promises, but not all supplements have the same backing. These are the ingredients with the most evidence:
Biotin (vitamin B7). This is perhaps the most well-known nutrient for hair. It is involved in the synthesis of keratin, the main protein in hair. Its deficiency is directly associated with fragility and hair loss. Supplements like Evocapil Plus, with 5,000 µg of biotin per capsule, are specifically formulated to cover this deficiency.
Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens). This plant extract is one of the most studied for androgenetic alopecia, as it partially blocks DHT, the hormone responsible for miniaturizing the hair follicle. You'll find it as a key ingredient in products like Xpecia Hombre.
Zinc and Selenium. These are essential minerals for cell division and keratin production. Low zinc levels have been linked to hair loss and dandruff. The combination of biotin + selenium, such as that incorporated in Evocapil Plus, enhances the results.
Keratin and L-Cystine. Structural amino acids of hair that help strengthen its fiber from within. Very present in advanced formulations like Xpecia.
Ginkgo Biloba. Improves scalp microcirculation, allowing nutrients to reach the follicle better. Ideal as a complement in comprehensive anti-hair loss treatments.
Complete anti-hair loss routine: beyond supplements
Supplements work best when accompanied by good habits. Here's a simple and effective routine:
1. Choose an appropriate shampoo. Look for gentle, sulfate-free formulas designed for weakened hair. Wash your hair with lukewarm water (never too hot) and massage the scalp to stimulate circulation.
2. Apply a hair lotion or nourishing oil. Products like pure argan oil hydrate the hair fiber without weighing it down, add shine, and reduce breakage. It's a simple step that makes a big difference in the appearance and strength of hair.
3. Take care of your diet. Incorporate quality protein, leafy green vegetables, nuts, and legumes. Your hair reflects what you eat.
4. Manage stress. Techniques such as exercise, meditation, or improving sleep have a real impact on the hair cycle. Some natural adaptogens like Ashwagandha (present in VitalizeNature's Shilajit + Ashwagandha) help the body better manage chronic stress.
5. Be consistent. No hair treatment yields overnight results. The hair cycle lasts for weeks. Commit for at least 3 months before evaluating results.
When to see a specialist?
If hair loss is sudden, very intense, or accompanied by other symptoms (extreme fatigue, changes in skin or nails, weight loss), consult a doctor or dermatologist. There may be an underlying cause that requires specific treatment.
For most cases of mild to moderate hair loss related to nutritional deficiencies, stress, or external factors, a good combination of supplementation, hair cosmetics, and healthy habits is enough to see significant improvement.
