As we go through the very normal and natural process of aging, some of the things that become easily noticeable are our worsening eyesight and our skin marked with lines pointing to our experiences over the years. But just like caring for our eyes and our skin before that process even begins, it’s important to deal with—and prevent—hair loss early on.<div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/46c36e85-ee5f-49a5-9944-bddd8e349711_novuhairmetrolabs3_banner.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>Hair loss is caused by a multitude of things.

Whenever I comb I could see more hair strands, when I sweep the floor, there’s so much hair so it bothered me a lot,” she adds. </p><div><br/></div><p>Contrary to popular belief, you can’t be too young to worry about hair loss—in fact Karla is just in her twenties, and she knows how important it is to take care of your hair. </p><div><br/></div><p>Check out her video here:</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmetrodotstyle%2Fvideos%2F697253001276548%2F&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" width="560" height="429" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share"></iframe></div><div><br/></div><br/>According to dermatologist Dr. Risa Caldoza, it’s normal to shed 50 to 100 hairs a day. “When it’s more than that,” she continues, “meaning there’s so many clumps of hair in the drain or in the brush, we call it excessive hair shedding. Now, ang excessive hair shedding, maraming causes. One of them is called telogen effluvium. This is diffused hair loss, caused by stress.”<div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/dd52562a-3d90-4c26-8706-6059793724a1_screen shot 2022-03-09 at 1.05.43 pm.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div>There are many treatments available, according to Dr. Risa: hormone therapy, stress management, steroid injections, as well as topical products. She found an online recommendation of Novuhair and tried it out. “I tried to use it myself to see if it’s effective. At first I was hesitant. I think it’s a bit pricey, but I would pay for the cure of my hair fall, so I tried it and I was actually satisfied with the results,” she says. She even shared Novuhair with her dad, who also got good results with it.<div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/60e858f5-db8f-4d99-8016-7f7cc0db5eee_screen shot 2022-03-09 at 1.06.26 pm.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>        Novuhair, a highly recommended product for treating hair loss, is one of our go-tos when it comes to hair loss.
