Hair Loss: Your Tresses Shouldn’t Be In Dustbin

The most painful sight while combing your hair is to see a bunch of hair coming in your comb every time you let it touch your scalp. It is completely normal to lose 50 to 100 strands per day.  But when the hair loss is more than that, it starts being troublesome!

When there is a loss of hair from a part of the body or scalp, it is known as alopecia or baldness. The severity of hair loss can vary from a small spot to the whole body. There is generally an absence of scarring and inflammation in hair loss.

Since there is a lack of complete understanding of the reasons for hair loss, few causes have been identified and described. Let us look at them below:

·        When there is male-pattern baldness of hair!

 Blame it on the genes you have inherited and imbalance in the production of a male hormone called dihydrotestosterone.
As far as female-pattern hair loss is considered, the cause remains unclear.

·        OMG! Was it an infection!

Yes, you might have lost your hair because of an infection.
Dissecting cellulitis, in which there is blockage of hair follicles in the scalp may cause hair loss. 

       Fungal infections like tinea capitis have also been identified as causes of hair-fall.

 A skin-condition, where hair follicles become inflamed, can also lead to hair loss. Such a condition is known as folliculitis.

 A sexually transmitted infection called secondary syphilis can cause hair to fall.

In an oily scalp, a microscopic mite called Demodex folliculorum may feed on sebum produced by sebaceous glands and cause hair loss and thinning by limiting the nutrient- supply to the hair.

·        Oops, was that the new prescription!

Conventional medicines for blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, cholesterol can cause hair loss. Hormonal pills, chemotherapy, and steroids may also be responsible.

·        Was there a trauma to your scalp!

       

       Tying a tight ponytail daily can cause injury or trauma to hair follicles and can limit hair growth.

       Rigorous brushing, heat styling, rough scalp massage can make your hair weak and cause breakage.

      Trichotillomania, which is characterized by compulsive pulling or bending of hair is present, may become the reason for temporary or permanent hair loss.

      Childbirth, surgery, chemotherapy can cause trauma to hair follicles.

·        You may have lost your hair after pregnancy!

Dropping of estrogen level in the post-partum period can cause hair loss, particularly in the temple region.

·        An auto-immune disorder might be the reason!

Spot baldness can occur as an autoimmune disease called alopecia areata.

Alopecia totalis causes loss of hair on the scalp. Alopecia universalis causes loss of hair on the entire body.

·        Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism may be the reason!

Conventional medications for thyroid disease and an under-active or an over-active thyroid can cause hair loss.

·        You might be keeping an unhealthy scalp environment!

Pollutants of air and water, environmental toxins, conventional styling, and an increased amount of sebum production can cause hair loss.

·        Your age is increasing!

As you age, there is gradual thinning of hair as there are more hair follicles going in the resting phase rather than the growth phase.

·        And yes, genes cannot be forgotten!

Autosomal recessive hypotrichosis may be responsible for hair loss.

After discussing the problem of hair loss and its probable triggers, let us look at the small changes that can help limit it:

·        Wash your scalp regularly!

Cleaning scalp with a mild shampoo regularly helps in reducing the risk of infections and dandruff that may be responsible for hair loss.

·        Take essential nutrients in your diet!

Vitamin A helps in the healthy production of sebum. Vitamin E improves blood circulation to the scalp, which in turn keeps hair follicles productive.

Vitamin B is essential for maintaining hair color. Protein from soy and other natural food sources limit hair loss.

·        Do not brushes wet hair!

This is because your hair is in the weakest stage when they are wet. Brushing wet hair can increase hair loss.

·        Drink water! You cannot avoid it!

One-quarter of the hair shaft is made of water. Drinking water regularly and in the adequate amount keeps them hydrated and promotes hair growth.

·        Massage your scalp twice a week!

Yes, when your scalp is massaged with light hands, it improves blood circulation and helps the scalp get nutrients. Also, leave the oil overnight on your scalp and do not step out with oil as the oil will work to attract dust on hair.

·        Hairstyling and heating should be limited!

 
      In the competition to get instant shine, we degrade the health of hair with a lot of styling and heating. This causes long-term damage to scalp and hair.

·        Take customized homeopathic treatment!

A well-chosen homeopathic remedy specifically for you by a homeopathic doctor helps in limiting hair loss, hair breakage, and promotes hair growth.

      In case of infections and dandruff, remedies work on the causation and totality of the symptoms of the person suffering from hair loss.

      Homeopathy also addresses the factors related to stress, past-pregnancy, the time of onset of hair loss, and the pattern and process of hair fall. The past medical history, family history, history of medications and chemotherapy, hormonal imbalance are also taken into consideration.

However, even after taking a lot of care and treatment, baldness may not be completely reversed but the best results concerned with limiting hair loss and hair thinning, and promoting hair growth can be achieved gradually with a holistic approach of the homeopathic treatment.
