Dermatologist reveals what causes hair loss and what you can do about it.

"You wouldn’t believe how many people struggle with hair thinning, slow growth, and even extreme hair loss," says Broichmann one of the leading Dermatologists in Switzerland and expert in hair and scalp health.

"Often, there’s no apparent reason for it..."

"Every day, I hear stories of people waking up to find hair on their pillows, shower drains clogged, and brushes full of strands.

It’s not just their appearance that changes; their confidence and self-esteem suffer as well."

In an effort to improve the situation, people try to:

• Improve their diets

• Diligently take supplements and vitamins, like biotin

• Treat their hair with pricey keratin procedures

• Apply castor oil masks

• Use expensive hair care products

  
  

...Yet they continue to see no results, stagnant growth, and worsening hair condition.

That’s when they come to me, seeking solutions to restore their youthful, healthy hair.

With over 30 years of experience, I’ve identified the most common reason for weak, thinning hair.

I’ve proven with hundreds of my patients that the best solution is surprisingly simple and usually helps even the most hopeless cases.

The truth is, the root cause of hair damage, loss, and thinning may be hiding in plain sight—within your daily routine.

So, if you’re experiencing:

• Hair falling out

  
  

• Thinning hair

• Brittle, dry hair

• A dry and itchy scalp

• And nothing seems to work...

...It’s time you learned about what I call the ‘SLS effect.’

"You might be doing everything to fortify your hair from the inside out, but it’s useless if you’re simultaneously damaging your hair without realizing it," Dr. Broichmann continues.

"This destructive cycle, which I call the ‘SLS effect,’ undermines any positive steps you take towards hair health."

"Here’s what I mean," Dr. Broichmann explains. "There is a 95% chance that every time you wash your hair, you’re applying the same chemical to your scalp that is used to clean floors and degrease car engines.

It may sound outrageous, but I challenge you to go to your bathroom and read the ingredient label on your shampoo bottle.

I bet the second or third ingredient after water will be SLS (or SLES or Sodium Laureth Sulfate).

If you look closely enough, you’ll find the same chemical in your acidic household cleaners and engine degreasers!

Sodium Laureth Sulfate is harmful and toxic. It irritates the skin and hair follicles and causes hair breakage.

It sucks all the moisture out of your hair (yes, even if the shampoo claims to be moisturizing). Yet it’s in that bottle!"

Even studies demonstrate that SLS has negative impacts.

Many studies also suggest that SLS-containing products cause eye irritation, skin damage, mouth cytotoxicity, and cell protein damage, as well as hair loss.

But WHY is it still used?

Because it’s cheap. These corporations use it as a foaming agent to create an illusion of ‘quality.’

Knowing that, are you surprised you’re losing (or have already almost lost) your youthful, soft hair?

Suddenly, hair thinning, dryness, brittleness, irritation, and even dandruff are not so surprising anymore, right?

Dr. Broichmann emphasizes her point with a warning: “Without eliminating these harmful external factors, no amount of vitamins, hormone therapy, or supplements will save your hair.

We need to stop sabotaging our hair health with products designed for cleaning a house, not nurturing our hair.”

So, what is the best solution to restore your hair’s health, accelerate growth, and help the follicles heal?

“When people start using this healthy substitute for generic shampoos (without harmful chemicals), suddenly anyone who’s not bolding clinically or whose baldness is not predetermined genetically gets a chance for voluminous, fast-growing, and healthy hair”

Dr. Broichmann, a leading expert in hair and scalp health.

When a patient comes to me, I use a questionnaire and visual examination to assess the state of their hair.

Then, I develop a personalized plan, product formula, and hair care routine for them.

However, seeing me or a colleague dermatologist/trichologist can cost anywhere from $200 to $3,000 (I know…) and sometimes even more.

But…

Because I understand not everyone can afford this, and I firmly believe that everyone deserves beautiful, healthy hair (and a boost in self-esteem), I am thrilled to share a solution that anyone can apply at home to achieve remarkably similar results without needing to visit a specialist.

So far, the only product I know that offers this level of effectiveness, quality, and has an impeccable ingredients list is a hair care line called Moèrie.

First, they are SLS FREE (of course), and their ingredients list is exceptional.

Second, they offer a free hair health quiz online to determine your hair’s health and what it needs to improve.

It fascinates me that for a fraction of the price, people can get a product of equal quality to something I would personally mix and give to my patients as a hair growth stimulator and hair health accelerator.

“I’ve recommended this hair care routine to every patient struggling to grow new hair quickly, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.”

“Moèrie uses the latest natural formula to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. In fact, new hair growth and strengthening are the main functions of their products,” says Dr. Broichmann.

“And for my hair care enthusiasts, I must add that their products exclusively consist of a formula with ingredients such as onion bulb extract, six essential amino acids, vitamin B7 (deficiency leads to hair loss), essential oils, and even fulvic acid, a natural hair growth inducer.”

“This is why people start seeing new and faster hair growth after using the first bottle or even sooner. Recently, I had a case where hair grew up to an inch in under four weeks, plus a lot of new hair!”

So my strong advice is: if you want:

✅ Faster and new hair growth

✅ Your temples to fill in

✅ Softer, shinier, less brittle hair

✅ A healthy, SLS-free hair routine that positively affects your hair from the very first wash…

Give this hair care a try! As I tell all my patients, start by taking their free hair health quiz to explore your options.

P.S. They are often sold out, and it’s no wonder, but these products are definitely worth the wait if you want healthy, fast-growing hair.
