Hair care

Extra shedding in autumn, or a few months after stress, illness or pregnancy, is common and usually settles by itself. Anti-hair-loss lotions and ampoules, such as Vichy Dercos Aminexil or René Furterer Triphasic, are used daily for at least three months. Sudden, patchy or heavy hair loss should be checked by a doctor or dermatologist.

Use an anti-dandruff shampoo two or three times a week and leave it on the scalp for a couple of minutes before rinsing. Once it has cleared, keep using it about once a week so it does not come back. A red, very itchy or crusty scalp that does not improve is worth showing to a dermatologist.

Conditioner is for every wash: it detangles and smooths in a minute. A mask is a richer treatment for once or twice a week, left on for several minutes. Dry, curly and coloured hair benefit most from both.

They can help when thinning is linked to a shortfall in iron, zinc, biotin or protein, and they take about three months to show. They are not a diagnosis: if hair loss is heavy, see a doctor to find the cause.
