BLG Health -Hair Loss Basics

People regardless of their age, gender or
status can experience hair loss due to
several factors.

If you are one of those who are
experiencing this problem, it is a must
that you know the basics of hair loss to
give you an idea what to do.

Knowing the basics can help you
determine the status of your condition,
can give you an idea when to seek
medical attention, can help you decide
which hair loss treatments to use and can
even help you prevent it if you are
prone to the condition.

One of the misconceptions about hair
loss is that age solely causes it.

While it is true that age primarily causes it
because of the cells that are already giving up,
there are other factors that might cause it.
These include heredity especially if your
family has a long running history of baldness,

Taking in certain medications for a specific
condition and an underlying medical condition
that weakens the person overall system such
as lengthily illness, cancer and other terminal
illnesses.

A person who is undernourished as from a
lengthily illness can also experience hair loss
being he or she is not getting the right nutrients
to keep the hair grow healthy.

People, who are into switching hairstyles
that puts too much pressure on the scalp,
may also experience hair loss because
the pulling on the hair such as those in
braids or dreadlocks can weaken the roots
of the hair.

Temporary hair loss can also be caused
by too much stress since people don’t
have enough time to take care of their
mane.

It can also be caused by pregnancy since
women tend to lose nutrients for
themselves for the growing baby inside.

Because of these causes, it is inevitable
that everyone can be prone to losing their
hair.

Aside from the probable causes, the next
thing that you should pay attention to is the
symptoms.

Many people experience the greater effect
and burden of hair loss because they did
not pay to much attention to it when it was
just starting.

Experts say that it is common for people
to lose at least 100 strands of their hair
everyday. This is because these strands are
meant to be replaced by new set of strands
over time.

People who are losing more than this estimated
number of strands should worry that they have
greater chances of losing their hair.

People who are losing more than a hundred
strands per day should analyze what
might cause it.

Once the cause is determined, she or he
can do some lifestyle changes to improve
on it.

If these modifications in lifestyle did not
work, one should visit a doctor immediately
to know what causes this abnormal amount
of hair loss.

Going to specialist is very important
because aside from telling you what
the cause of the condition is, the doctor
will know what treatment will work for you.
