Hair Loss

Article Manager asked:


Beautiful hair has always been a cause of envy. Not only does it enhances our personality but at the same time has drawn the attention of others. We use various hair products to keep our hair healthy as well as beautiful. Hair loss which refers to the thinning of hair especially from the scalp area has become a matter of concern. Millions of people are affected by hair loss; men specially are prone to hair loss than women. Hair loss may also be termed as androgenetic alopecia and may be localized or diffused. This is a hereditary problem.

Loss of about fifty to hundred strands a day is normal .Excessive hair loss results in baldness. Severe hair loss results in loss of self esteem, confidence & self identity. Numerous reasons could be quoted for excessive hair loss for e.g. long term of an illness or hormonal problems like over and under secretions of hormone thyroxine from the thyroid gland or an imbalance in male and female hormones like androgen & estrogen. Women might experience hair loss post pregnancy due to loss of certain hormones which are retained during pregnancy. At times, medication for serious ailments like cancer, depression etc might result in hair loss because of presence of blood thinners called anticoagulants. Fungal infection may also be a cause for hair loss. Improper hair care & styling like making use of tight hair rollers, coloring, bleaching, perming or wearing tight pigtails for a long time creates a tension on the scalp of the hair which further might cause hair loss.

Poor nutrition can also lead to hair loss as the body remains devoid of essential nutrients like vitamins, proteins, minerals to promote hair growth. For temporary hair loss which may be due to poor nutrition or stress, various treatments are available but there is almost no cure for permanent hair loss .On consultation a doctor might query you regarding your health as well as your family’s medical history . He/she will also check your scalp and may take some samples for biopsy. On ascertaining the particular reason for hair loss, may it be due to medication, hormonal imbalance etc; the doctor would go for the requisite treatment. Certain extracts like memoxidil are also recommended to both men as well as women for early hair growth.

To prevent hair loss, proper hair care should be taken. Proper treatment for hormonal imbalance, proper medication along with a balanced diet could prevent hair loss. Hair transplantation technique which proved to be a ray of hope for those facing baldness, has also improved manifold from past several years.

Bryan Len asked:


Hair loss can be a very disturbing problem for women and men because we live in a superficial world were people judge you by how you look and not how smart you are. Most people are becoming very aware of their overall appearance; a woman’s hair must be in tip-top shape at all times.

What are the causes of hair loss? There are many reasons why people begin to lose their hair, some of the reasons include:

a.    Stress: You can lose your hair if you are undergoing “life changing stress”, for example if you have just lost your job or you lose someone that is dear to you etc. Losing your hair because of stress related factors is known as “telogen effluvium”.

b.    Hair Dyes: The excessive use of hair dyes can lead to hair loss over long periods

c.    Hair Relaxers: Most hair relaxers contain certain harmful chemicals that cause hair loss after long term use.

d.    Hair Styles: There are some hair styles that often lead to a residing hair line or hair loss, for example, tight braids and too-tight pony tails.

e.    Dandruff: This cuts off blood circulation to the roots of the hair, disrupts the hair from breathing and receiving adequate nourishment.

f.    Illness: This can affect the growth of hair and lead to hair loss. This affects both men and women

g.    Poor Diet: Bad eating habits can also lead to hair loss

h.    Genetic Factors: Hair loss can be caused by genes passed down from parent to child. For instance most bald men have bald fathers.

i.    Infection: This condition is also known to cause hair loss but hair loss stops as soon as the infection or illness is cured.

j.    ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA: this is a condition that affects the scalp (and other parts of the body), it is caused by deficiencies in the immune system.

k.    Pregnancy And Child Birth: Women usually experience hair loss during their pregnancy and after giving birth to their child.

How to Stop Hair Loss

Hair loss can be treated using various methods, some of which include:

Natural Treatments To Stop Hair Loss

•    Take your vitamins – Vitamins A is great anti-oxidant, it stimulates the production of “sebum” in the scalp. Vitamin E helps to stimulate circulation of blood in the scalp, which is very good for keeping hair follicles active/productive. Vitamin B is great for maintaining your hair colour, in a nutshell; it gives your hair a healthy looking colour.

•    Saw Palmetto: In small quantities, this herb can be used for preventing hair loss in (some) men.

•    Scalp massage: Massaging the scalp will help to stimulate blood circulation in the scalp. You can massage your scalp for a couple of minutes every day because good blood flow is essential for hair follicles to be productive.

•    Nettle root: Studies have shown that nettle root can be used to stop hair loss and may also stimulate hair growth too.

•    Any one of these juices: you can rub your scalp with any of the juices extracted from garlic, ginger or onions.

Please note: you can only use one of these juices, do not mix any of the three!

Other herbs that can be used in order to stop hair loss are: Green tea, Horsetail extracts, Ginko bilboba and Pygeum.

•    Eat healthy: Eat foods rich in nutrients, include lots of fruits and vegetables to your diet because these foods are known to help improve hair growth.

Vincent 30, a sales manager in a pharmaceutical company is already troubled by receding hairline.

Mr. Shaun, 45 and undergoing treatment for cancer is suffering from hair loss.

Deborah, all of 22 is grappling to find answers for her sudden hair loss.

Are you also one among the many facing problems of abnormal hair loss, hair shedding or receding hairline? Well, are you aware of your hair loss symptoms?

If you know what’s causing your hair loss, it will be easy for you to notice the hair loss symptoms.

Are you losing hair on the top of the head or on the forehead or a victim of thinning?

This could be androgenetic alopecia or inherited hair loss, which runs in the family.

If you notice symptoms like redness or inflammation of the scalp, it could be a result of your own immune system attacking your hair follicles. If your thyroid gland is overactive or under active, or male (androgens) and female hormones (estrogens) are out of balance, this too could result in hair loss.

You have just delivered your baby and to your dismay you find that within two-three months, tufts of hair are coming out in your brushes and combs. Don’t be depressed. It’s just a natural loss that occurs with childbirth – it’s called post-partum hair loss and normally rectifies itself within a few months.

Are you recovering from a major surgery or severe infection? Then don’t be shocked by excessive hair fall. Some drugs used for treating gout, heart problems, arthritis or acne may cause temporary hair shedding. Drugs used for cancer or chemotherapy stops hair cell division. The patient may lose all his hair during the course of the treatment, but will regain his hair after the treatment stops some months later.

Diet plays an important role for inadequate growth of hair and hair loss. Hair loss symptoms are noticed in people who go in for crash diets and develop protein malnutrition in the process. So think twice before going in for a severe diet regime. Iron deficiency or inadequate protein intake may result in hair loss or hair thinning.

Are you stressed because of a sudden loss in the family? Is work too hectic and strenuous? Don’t ignore such situations as these can cause temporary hair loss.

Notice severe hair loss symptoms, each time you colour or dye your hair.

Now that you know the causes, be confident and look for hair loss products and hair loss solutions to get back on track.

Irina Thorton asked:


Some of us seem to forget that the hair is still every bit a part of our human bodies. This means that it is always affected by whatever the entire body system undergoes. This has led a lot of people to think that there might be a connection between hair health and stress. Could it be possible that there is a link between stress and hair loss?

Hair Loss

Genetic and hormonal changes are the two main factors affecting hair loss.  This implies that stress has less of a role in majority of hair loss cases. Stress however can make hair loss worse among people who are already genetically predisposed to it. In people who do not have hair loss due to genes and hormones, stress may be the major causal factor.

Stress and Hair Loss

Experts are unanimous in agreeing that stress and hair loss is related. There are of course different types of stressful experiences. A person could be either physically or emotionally stressed. Hair loss can happen when either of the two types of stress appears. In most cases though, it is a combination of physical and emotional factors that work together to bring about hair loss. Examples of conditions and situations where the connection between stress and hair loss is apparent include the following:

- Pregnancy and childbirth - Surgery - Severe illness - Accident or trauma - Difficult personal life conditions or environment - Mentally, physically or emotionally draining work - Worrying too much over financial status or situation

Telogen Effluvium

People who have both stress and hair loss in their lives may be suffering from a condition known as telogen effluvium. Under normal circumstances, we all have 80%-90% of our hair strands in the growing phase and the remaining portion in the resting phase. Eventually the resting hair strands will fall off. In people with both stress and hair loss there is an increase in the normal percentage of hair strands in the resting phase. This results in a noticeable increase in hair shedding. All of a sudden you may feel that there may be more strands of hair on your brush or pillow than normal.

Another school of though is that stress greatly affects our immune system which in turn, influences the health of hair. The link between stress and hair loss may become more evident when the immune system is weakened by stress. Some experts theorize that because of the stressful conditions, the immune system may suddenly turn against the body, attacking cells and tissues including the hair follicles. This results in increased hair shedding.

Solutions

Solution is easy for those who are suffering from both stress and hair loss. Your first step would be to attempt to reduce stress or move away from a stressful situation. If you are severely ill for example, take time away from daily concerns to properly recuperate. If work is causing you a lot of stress, move away from it temporarily by having a vacation.

If you cannot temporarily move away from stressful situations, then learn to cope with them. Reduce stress and hair loss by learning stress reduction techniques like meditation and progressive relaxation.
