Emma had the best hair days in her 20s. She would scrunch it, perm it and flaunt her hair. Now that she is in her 30s, she has thin strands and a retiring scalp on her forehead. She says that even when she eats nutritious food and excercises regularly, yet she still suffers from hairloss. Hairloss can be painful emotionally and psychologically.
Women have hair loss in all ages ranging from 10-70 years. When you are in your shower and brushing your hair, you might experience hair loss. You might lose about 100 strands a day, and this is normal, however if it is more then you have to investigate and get the right hair loss treatment.
Some information:
1. Prolonged major hair shedding is called as telogen effluvium. The most common causes of which are acute illnesses like typhoid and malaria, poor nutrition, iron deficiency, thyroid disorders etc.
2. Hair thinning or female pattern hair loss is the equivalent of the common male pattern baldness in men. This is an inherited condition and is reflected in an underlying hormonal imbalance like poly cystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
3. Hair breakage is not due to hair loss but it comes from the root but represents hair that breaks during shampooing, combing and hair styling. Coloring, bleaching, ironing will only make your hair's bonds weaker.
Hair loss Treatments and Crash Diets
Stress, vitamin deficiency and iron deficiency along with poor diet can cause hair loss. Hair loss due to thyroid problems, medications and autoimmune disease is one of the most destructive causes of hair loss. Today's lifestyle is responsible for hair loss n the youth. When you have the peer pressure to look slim, crash diets are the only convenient option. When the body is deprived of nutrition, the supply of food becomes scarce to the less important parts such as hair, nails, etc. Hence, any kind of crash diets will eventually cause hair loss.
Excessive use of hair styling tools like strengtheners and curling iron or hair products like gels, mousse, sprays, colours, etc can damage the hair shaft and prolonged usage can hamper its growth. “Tight ponytails, wrong combs, parting your hair, can further aggravate the condition,” says Dr. Vijaya Iyer, a Mumbai-based skin and hair care expert.
