A person’s mane is considered his or her
crowing glory. But once a person
experience hair loss, this is no longer the
case. Majority of the people who are
going through this problem cannot help
but feel shame once they pass through
this certain stage.
Many of them try to conceal it using wigs
or many undergo through medical
treatments and process such as
hair transplants in order to bring
back their so-called “crowning
glory.” Although it is quite inevitable
to feel shame once one experiences
hair loss, this should not prevent him or
her to lose self-confidence totally.
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
cancer and other terminal illnesses.
A person who is undernourished 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.
