You Do Not Deserve Hair Loss

The Bald Truth About Hair Loss

Within the first three seconds of a new encounter, you are evaluated --- even if it is just a quick look. We have all heard it about how much first impression counts. Many people are much concerned about their physical appearance because when you meet someone for the first time, the very first thing that they notice is your hair. Therefore hair plays an extremely important role in our life.

It is normal to lose about 20 to 100 strands of hair each day which is really not many when you consider that there are over 100,000 hairs on the average head. However, some people may experience more than normal hair loss. Hair loss for men or women can affect them psychologically because it also affects their self image and overall look. Losing it can have a negative impact on our self-esteem and confidence, and even generate a feeling of premature aging.

Common Causes of Hair Loss

  1. Androgenic alopecia or commonly known as male pattern baldness is associated with testosterone specifically, a by-product called DHT. This hormone “strangles” hair follicles, cutting off the blood supply to them until the individual hair gets thinner, less pigmented and eventually falls out.

  2. Hair loss in women is usually caused by hormonal changes in the body associated with the menopause. The reduction in oestrogen levels in the body means that testosterone has more effect, and more DHT is produced.

  3. Hair loss can also affect mothers who just gave birth. During pregnancy the hormonal balance changes and the normal hair cycle is disrupted, so hairs that would normally fall out do not. When hormones return to pre-pregnancy levels, that hair falls out and the normal cycle begins again.

  4. Medicines such as blood-thinners, birth-control pills, antidepressants and some drugs used during chemotherapy can also cause hair loss.

  5. Sometimes hair loss can indicate medical problems such as anaemia or a scalp infection. The hair regrowth cycle can also be disrupted by major surgery, illness or stress, and by rapid weight loss.

  6. Hair loss through inheritance

  7. Emotional and physical stress

  8. Frequent dyeing and chemicals used for perming and rebonding

Hair care tips for the day

Clean hair feels better, looks better, and even smells better. Perspiration mixed with hair oil can make hair look greasy and stringy. To keep your hair fresh and shiny, shampoo often. Be sure to rinse well. Shampoo that is left in can dry out the hair.
