Hair has a major
aesthetic role for all of us and therefore hair
loss, or damaged hair worries not only men but also women.
It
is believed, that a normal person loses 50 to 100 hairs every day, and it does
not affect vision of our hair. For hair
loss we can talk when fallen hair is considerably more and drop out of
the scalp without much effort. Before taking any measures to treat hair loss,
you must consult a dermatologist. He will determine the possible cause of
thinning hair and recommend appropriate treatment. Self-medication should be
avoided because it may have unwanted side effects. Experts
differ several types of hair loss:
1.Androgenic alopecia
Androgen hair
loss is the most common and is believed that it has family story. It is caused
by the impact of androgen (male) hormones. In females this type of hair loss
occurs with thinning hair at the temples, and later loosing hair at the front
part of the scalp.
The
process develops itself into symmetrical sections and rarely starts before of
the age of twenty. Although, women also suffer from androgenic alopecia and according to different sources, the
percentage of affected is between 10 and 20%.
2. Hair loss caused by illness
Many
diseases or mechanical harm can lead to hair damage follicles. Traumatic hair loss appears very often
as a result of accidental physical injury, or as a result of frequent cosmetic
procedures. In most cases, hair loss is reversible, and hair recovers itself
after eliminating the reason. The most common causes are frequent treatment of
hair with different dyes and pigments, daily use of presses and hair-dryer.
Experts warn that high temperatures destroy hair structure and permanently
damaging it. It is recommended that hair should be left to dry itself.
3. Reactive hair loss
In
some states, such as prolonged and high fever, blood loss, mental shock and
severe stress, in some people can appear significant
hair loss and even baldness.
Dermatologists
calm that reactive hair loss is reversible and within a few months hair
follicles fully recover. In 30% to 50% of women,(after childbirth) appears
significant loss of hair, but it recovers to half a year later.
