Hair problems

A map of the most common hair problems: shedding, dryness, flat volume, scalp trouble, color issues and age. What actually helps, and when to see a doctor.

Hair loss in women

Hair loss in women: how much shedding is normal, telogen effluvium, iron and thyroid, postpartum loss, and when to see a dermatologist not a salon.

Damaged hair

Damaged hair does not heal like skin: how to read the cause, balance protein and moisture, when to cut, and what a salon can fix versus what only grows out.

Dandruff

Dandruff comes from a natural scalp yeast, not poor hygiene. The real causes, how to tell it from a dry scalp, which shampoos work and when to see a dermatologist.

Oily hair

Oily hair explained: why the scalp overproduces sebum, how to wash correctly, how often, and how to use dry shampoo. A practical routine that actually works.

Dry and brittle hair

Why hair turns dry and brittle: a damaged cuticle, porosity, the balance between moisture and protein, and a practical routine with a mask once a week.

Split ends

Split ends cannot be permanently repaired, only sealed for a while. Why a trim every 8 to 12 weeks is the only real fix and how to prevent them coming back.

Thin hair

Thin hair means fine strands, not few hairs. How to build lasting volume with the cut, root-first blow-drying and light products. A practical Pristina guide.

Curly hair

Curly hair is drier by nature: a washing routine that keeps curls defined, leave-in and diffusing, why the cut differs and how to bring down frizz.

Flat hair with no volume

Flat hair sits pressed down at the roots from buildup and weight, not thin strands. The right wash, a round brush blow-dry and a layered cut fix it.

Postpartum hair loss

Postpartum hair loss usually starts 2 to 4 months after birth and settles within 6 to 12 months. What is normal, when to see a doctor and how to care for it.

Hair care during pregnancy

Hair usually looks fuller in pregnancy. How to wash, trim and style it simply and safely, handle oiliness and dryness shifts, and prepare for postpartum.

First gray hairs

First gray hairs: why they appear, why nothing reverses them, options for covering or growing out, and why roots need a refresh every 4 to 6 weeks.

Static and flyaway hair

Why hair goes static in winter and how to calm it: moisture, leave-in, a little oil on the ends, the right brush and a humidifier indoors. Guide for Pristina.

Sensitive scalp and an itchy head

Sensitive scalp and an itchy head explained: why it happens, how to calm it in a few weeks with a gentle routine, and when persistent itching needs a doctor.

How to grow hair faster

Hair grows about 1 to 1.5 cm a month and the pace is mostly genetic. What helps you keep length, why trimming does not slow growth, and when to see a doctor.

Hair color that fades fast

Why hair color fades and how to keep it vivid: wait 48 to 72 hours before the first wash, wash less in cool water, use sulfate-free color-safe shampoo.

Brassy hair after bleaching

Why hair turns brassy, orange or yellow after lightening and how to fix it: purple shampoo, blue shampoo, salon toner and when it is a correction job.

Hair care after 50

After 50 hair thins, dries and grays. The gentle hydrating routine, scalp care, heat under 180 degrees and the right color choices, explained for Pristina.

Hair in winter

What winter does to hair and how to fix it: never go out with wet hair below zero, lower the water temperature, add a weekly mask, and pick the right hat.

Autumn hair shedding

Autumn hair shedding explained: why more hair falls in September and October, how long it lasts, how to tell it from hair loss that needs a doctor.
