Causes of hair loss in men and women

Hair loss is a natural process. A healthy person can lose 50 to 100 hairs a day. If at the same time they grow back, then you are all right. And if the hair begins to thin out noticeably, then this is a reason to worry.

By what signs can you know that the process of baldness has begun?

• After combing, a noticeable bunch of curls remains on the comb.
• Hair on the forehead and temples begins to grow weaker and become thinner. Compared to normal ones, they will resemble "fluff".
• Hair turns oily after washing.

If you constantly find similar symptoms in yourself, you need to urgently consult a trichologist. He will examine the problem areas of the hair, and will be able to accurately answer the question: how to find out whether baldness has started or not?

Why are we so unlucky, and now we need to fight this ailment? Doctors identify several main reasons due to which the process of irreversible hair loss begins in men:

1. Heredity... This is the main cause of hair loss. If nothing is done and let it go, baldness in this case is inevitable. Important: this "gift" is transmitted in 75% of cases through the maternal line, and only 25% on the paternal side. If you want to know what your head of hair will be in ten years, study carefully the mother's pedigree.
2. Hormonal Disorders... This type of baldness occurs at a certain age. It usually starts at age 22 and lasts up to 27 years. The next stage begins at 35 and ends at 37.
3. Improper diet, stress experienced, long-term medication, improper care... As a rule, by eliminating any of these reasons, you can restore the normal growth of hair without any problems.
4. Pregnancy... Women can also have a lot of hair loss, up to baldness in some places. Most often, the reason for this is pregnancy.

Depending on the reasons for the loss of hair, there are several main types of baldness. We will talk about them in more detail below.

Types and stages of hair loss

Medicine knows several main types of baldness. Let's talk about the main ones in more detail.

Diffuse alopecia

This type is much less common, since it appears only when exposed to external factors (stress, medications, radiation, etc.). As a rule, it is much easier to restore hair after diffuse alopecia than in the previous version, the main thing is to contact a specialist in time.

Alopecia areata

Until now, an unexplained type of apolecia, in which hair loss occurs completely unexpectedly. They can also unexpectedly grow in the same place, or move a little to the side. Trichologists believe that this may be due to an autoimmune disorder of the body.

Main stages:

Stage 1... Triangular bald patches on the first hairline. They are barely noticeable, so it is difficult to determine when the hair loss started.

Stage 2... Distinct receding hairline on the first hairline.This arrangement of the hairline can be described as "high forehead".

Folk remedies for baldness

Before the invention of medicines, our grandparents dealt with this problem differently. Below we will tell you about the most popular ways to deal with this ailment.

Onion juice

If you notice signs of hair loss on your head, then immediately stock up on onions. It is rich in sulfur (which is why it smells so bad) and natural keratin (the main component of most expensive shampoos).

Sulfur is necessary for the body to produce collagen, which is necessary for proper nutrition of hair follicles, and in general gives a healthy look to your curls. Keratin is responsible for the structure of the hair, so feeding in the form of this element will not hurt us.

Onion Healing Recipe:

Soak a towel in warm water and wrap it around your head (the pores on your head should open up for our onion juice to work faster and better). While the pores are opening, take one onion and cut it into several pieces so that you can grind it with a blender. Pass the resulting gruel through cheesecloth. Apply the onion juice evenly over the entire surface of the head. Let the juice soak for 30 minutes and then wash your hair.

Bay essential oil

This product is quite rare in pharmacies, so you need to look for it in online stores.

In a short period of time, this oil has managed to gain popularity among all people who have suffered from baldness. It helps to improve the appearance and stimulate the growth of new curls. The oil contains: cloves, bay leaves and pepper. This combination can scare off too sensitive "noses", but the result is worth it.

How to apply:

Add 10 ml of oil to 100 g of your shampoo. This ratio will normalize the growth of vegetation on the head, strengthen the follicles, give a healthy look and shine to each hair.

Capsicum

As a rule, if baldness begins to appear on the head, then the hair follicles are slowly hibernating. To resume the growth of hair in such places, you need to give the bulbs a little push (to activate the follicles). It is for this that capsicum is used, which heats up the follicles, thereby stimulating the growth of new hairs.

How to apply:

Take 1 tablespoon of pepper setting, 1 tablespoon of castor oil, and 1 tablespoon of shampoo. Stir the resulting solution and apply evenly to the scalp with a cotton swab. For extra warmth, put a hat on your head and wait 30 minutes. Afterwards, wash your hair thoroughly. You need to repeat the procedure 2-3 times a week.

Conclusion: how to keep your hair?

Hair is a reflection of the internal state of our body. If you are haunted by problems with hair on your head, consult a trichologist for advice. After passing the tests, you will be able to prescribe the correct treatment.

In any case, lead a healthy lifestyle and eat healthy food, and then all body functions will be normal.
