GROW Series: What causes sudden hair loss?

One of the most common causes is something called telogen effluvium . This means that the hair rapidly enters the resting phase – often after the body has been under stress. About two months later, the hair starts to fall out.

8 common causes:

1. Childbirth

2. Rapid weight loss or nutritional deficiency

3. Medication changes or hormonal contraceptives

4. Disease or infection

5. Major surgery or accident

6. Stress and mental strain

7. Fever or inflammation in the body

8. Thyroid disorders

You don't have to experience all the symptoms at once – but if you recognize yourself in some of these points, your hair loss may have a temporary explanation.

How to help your hair grow back – naturally and effectively

Hair loss can feel hopeless, but there are things you can do today to help your scalp recover and give your hair the best chance to grow back.

1. Strengthen hair from the root with Capilia Longa & PRO Growth complex

Our VÄXA range is developed together with hairdressers and chemists, specifically for women experiencing hair loss. The range contains the clinically studied plant extract Capilia Longa , which has been shown in studies to:

• Reduce hair loss by up to 89%

• Increase visible hair density by 52%

• Promote regrowth by awakening dormant hair follicles

Together with our PRO Growth complex , which contains caffeine, provitamin B5 and organic plant oils, the scalp receives both stimulation and nourishment.

“After just a few weeks I saw a difference. Now I feel confident every time I shower – my hair feels stronger and thicker.” – Customer Review

2. Create a healthy laundry routine

Wash your hair 2-3 times a week with a gentle yet active formula that won't dry out your scalp. Our VÄXA Shampoo gently cleanses while stimulating growth. Always follow up with VÄXA Conditioner that moisturizes without weighing down.

💚 All products are free from sulfates, silicones, perfumes and synthetic preservatives. They are pH-balanced and gentle even for sensitive scalps.

3. Mist – your new daily routine for hair growth

Our VÄXA Mist is used twice a day, directly on the scalp. Massage in with your fingertips to increase blood circulation and maximize the effect.

💡 Mist + massage = easy to incorporate into your morning and evening routine.

4. Avoid common mistakes that worsen hair loss

🚫 Tight hairstyles, overstyling, bleaching or aggressive products can further irritate the scalp.
🚫 Brushing wet hair hard can cause mechanical hair loss – please use a soft brush and leave-in product.
🚫 Stressing about hair loss – we know, easier said than done. But stress can become a vicious cycle.

5. Nourishment from the inside

Hair needs building blocks – protein, iron, zinc, biotin and omega-3 . Review your diet and consider supplementing with nutritional supplements, especially if you have recently been ill, pregnant or lost weight.

How long does it take for hair to grow back?

Hair grows on average 1–1.5 cm per month. The first sign that something is happening is often small, light "baby hairs" at the temples or the side of the head.

Give your scalp at least 90 days before evaluating – especially with products that work deep into the hair follicle. We therefore recommend:

When should you contact a doctor?

If you experience sudden, severe or patchy hair loss, or suspect hormonal or medical causes – always consult a doctor to rule out underlying diseases such as iron deficiency, thyroid problems or autoimmune conditions.
