Hair Loss Is On The Rise


Hair loss is not a problem unless it is excessive. Hair loss is a normal process (45 to 60 hairs/day), the hair that falls out is continuously replaced by newly grown hair. Hair loss is a gradual process, some research has indicated that it takes 5 years or more for follicle roots to fully cease. Baldness or hair loss is usually something only adults need to worry about. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. 

The more you look around at your fellow colleagues, the more you see that hair loss is on the rise. Sadly, they're struggling secretly with this hair loss, trying to solve the problem on their own. Many people experiencing premature hair loss simply resign themselves to a process that is as inevitable as growing old. An emphasis should be placed on determining the true cause of hair loss as a prerequisite for developing an appropriate and effective course of treatment. 

Women and hair loss aren't two things that people usually associate with each other. Women generally don't suffer from androgenic alopecia because their levels of testosterone are too low to exert a damaging influence. Women experiencing hair thinning especially in their late twenties and early thirties experience social insecurity, anxiety and depression. Ironically, stress itself is the main reason why many women are facing hair loss and what appears to be early balding. Even more disturbing is that nearly 80 percent of the time, women's hair samples show symptoms of thyroid diseases or hormone imbalances, which are serious manifestations of stress-related disorders. 

The most common form of baldness is a progressive hair thinning condition called androgenic alopecia or 'male pattern baldness' that occurs in adult male humans and other species. In male- and female-pattern baldness, the culprit is something called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, which is derived from androgen, a male hormone. There is no consensus regarding the details of the evolution of male pattern baldness. One theory suggests baldness evolved in males through sexual selection as an enhanced signal of aging and social maturity, whereby aggression and risk-taking decrease and nurturing behaviours increase. The assertion that MPB is intended to convey a social message is supported by the fact that the distribution of androgen receptors in the scalp differs between men and women, and older women or women with high androgen levels often exhibit diffuse thinning of hair as opposed to male pattern baldness. 

Standing On One's Head Alleviates Baldness... The "blood-flow" theory, which led men to stand on their heads in the 1980s, can be found in the advertising for many of the fake hair loss treatments for sale on the internet. 

Hair products such as hot oil treatments and chemicals used for permanents can cause inflammation to the hair follicles, which can also result in scarring and hair loss. If your hair loss is caused by one of these temporary conditions, then you can try to address the cause (like stress or improving your nutrition) or you can wait it out (for example if your hair loss is caused by medical treatments or too many hair treatments). A number of treatments are available for female pattern hair loss including topical minoxidil lotion (not recommended for pregnant and breast feeding women) and antiandrogen medication. To date the most effective preventative treatments are anti androgens, drugs that prevent the creation of DHT. Provillus is the natural hair loss treatment that limits the conversion of male testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and in turn prevents hair loss. 

In general, most hair loss is not associated with systemic or internal disease, nor is poor diet a frequent factor. Not only do experts not know how much hair loss is normal, they also don't have any standardized way of assessing the amount of hair lost on an average day.
