At some point in life, many of us may experience hair problems, such as hair fragility. This problem can significantly affect our self-esteem and confidence. It is important to understand what it is and how we can effectively treat it to restore the health and vitality of your hair.
What is capillary fragility?
Capillary fragility refers to the weakness of blood vessels in the scalp, which can cause the capillaries to break, resulting in hair loss. Factors such as nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, stress, genetics, or the use of aggressive hair products can cause it. Consuming foods rich in flavonoids, such as berries (raspberries, blackberries, currants), citrus fruits, green tea, and grape seeds helps to protect collagen and strengthen capillary walls.
Some patients with increased capillary fragility may experience spontaneous little bleeding on the scalp skin. Scientific evidence suggests that capillary fragility is often associated with conditions like varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency, but we recommend you consult a doctor before any conclusion.

How can it be prevented?
Adopting good hair habits is essential to preventing hair diseases. Below are some common actions that help keep you strong:
✔ Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
✔ Reduce the use of shampoos with sulfates, and products with parabens, dyes, and bleaching.
✔ Avoid excessive use of heat tools.
✔ Use products for each type of hair.
✔ Minimize the time of exposure to the sun.
✔ Do not pull your hair or wear very tight pigtails.
If I already have hair fragility, what do I do?
It’s normal to feel a little bit of uncertainty when thinking about what will happen to your hair if you have this condition, but don’t worry, there are hair treatments and hair grafts that can help you solve it.
Hair treatments and hair grafts
Hair treatments are techniques and exercises designed to stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, strengthen the walls of the capillaries, and promote hair growth and health. They usually include massage, application of nutrients, and specific medication to improve the oxygenation and nutrition of the follicles.
For people who suffer from baldness, there are more advanced techniques such as hair grafting, an effective and durable solution. This procedure involves transplanting hair from donor areas to alopecia areas, achieving a natural appearance, and restoring lost hair density.
