People typically lose 50 to 100 hairs a day. This usually isn't noticeable because new hair is growing in at the same time. Hair loss occurs when new hair doesn't replace the hair that has fallen out. Hair loss (alopecia) can affect just your scalp or your entire body, and it can be temporary or permanent. Hereditary hair loss with age is the most common cause of baldness. Some people prefer to let their hair loss run its course untreated and unhidden and this is great if that is what you would love for yourself. Others may cover it up with hairstyles, wigs, wefts, tapes, makeup, hats or scarves. And still others choose one of the treatments available to prevent further hair loss or restore growth. We have rounded a few of our solutions for you.
Let's start with the Top Causes: Hair loss is typically related to one or more of the following factors:
- Family history (Heredity/Genetics). The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition that happens with aging. This condition is called androgenic alopecia, male-pattern baldness and female-pattern baldness. It usually occurs gradually and in predictable patterns — a receding hairline and bald spots in men and thinning hair along the crown of the scalp in women. Most baldness is caused by genetics. This type of hair loss is not preventable.
- Hormonal changes and medical conditions. A variety of conditions can cause permanent or temporary hair loss, including hormonal changes due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and thyroid problems. Medical conditions include alopecia areata, which is immune system related and causes patchy hair loss, scalp infections such as ringworm, and a hair-pulling disorder called trichotillomania
- Medications and supplements. Hair loss can be a side effect of certain drugs, such as those used for cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, gout and high blood pressure.
- Radiation therapy to the head. The hair may not grow back the same as it was before.
- A very stressful event. Many people experience a general thinning of hair several months after a physical or emotional shock. This type of hair loss is temporary. A lot of our clients has been mentioning about hairloss during covid, how about you?
- Hairstyles and treatments. Excessive hairstyling or hairstyles that pull your hair tight, such as tight ponytails, buns, pigtails or cornrows, can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia. Hot-oil hair treatments and permanents also can cause hair to fall out. If scarring occurs, hair loss could be permanent.
- Environmental factors
- Diet
- Stress/Anxiety
- Lack of scalp health. Scalp concerns such as scalp acne which looks like pimples may be due to dead skin cells or oil clogging the follicles, product build up, poorly washed hair is 1 example of scalp concerns. (as cliche as we sound it's true HEALTHY SCALP=HEALTHY HAIR)
- Hair thinning/ loss occurs when certain triggers stop the hair from growing.
- Age
- Significant weight loss
- Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes and lupus
- Poor nutrition
- Menopause
