Hair Loss
A very
prevalent problem among men and women is the thinning hair especially
with the stressed out lifestyle people lead today. The problem is
possibly not as severe with women because they manage to do a better
cover up job, with men the thinning hair leads to a manifestation called
balding.
Why
Am I losing Hair?
There
are various reasons for this prevalent problem as follows:
• The main reason for thinning hair is the various kinds of chemicals
that are being used
• Many illnesses also manifest themselves as hair loss
• If a hair loss runs in the family hereditary system, you might be
unfortunate enough to gain this trait!
What
Causes Baldness?
This
condition occurs when your hair follicles cease to produce new hair. It
begins with the thinning of hair at the temples, followed by bald spots
on the crown. Eventually, it can lead to total baldness at the front and
the top of the scalp. But normal hair remains at the sides and the back.
Among men, this is termed ‘male pattern baldness’ and is hereditary in
nature. With women who inherit a tendency towards baldness, it usually
leads only to the thinning of hair and only rarely to total baldness.
Unfortunately there is not cure for baldness.
How
Do I Combat Hair Loss and Balding?
Don’t
lose hope yet, there are two things you can do:
• Cut
your tresses short, because long hair pulls the hair down and draws
attention to the hair. Short hair will balance the head.
• You can also try hair weaving but this is a less recommended as this
can create bad effects later in the hairs life.
• You can get your hair styled and blowdried in such a way that it will
create an image of more hair than there actually.
Quick
Tips:
• In
severe cases of hair loss, you should immediately consult a doctor and
try to determine the exact cause, as well as how permanent the loss will
be. Very often, excessive loss can be stalled and the hair will grow
back in due course.
• Certain hairstyles like braids and pony tails that pull your hair
tightly away from your scalp can also lead to hair loss. It is better to
tie your hair loosely. You should also keep changing your parting and
your hairstyle as often as you can.
On
average, people normally lose around 50 to 80 strands of hair daily
so that new hair could grow. So don't be paranoid when you see drop
hairs while washing your hair.
