All You Need To Know About Hair Loss


Female Pattern Hair Loss

It can be a real concern when you experience excessive hair loss, since your hair is an important part of your appearance. There is an increasing number of people seeking an effective hair loss treatment for the condition.

Hair loss is a condition where the body’s immune system attacks hair follicles (what holds the hair in place), causing hair loss. The scalp, the inside of the nose, and the ears are all places where you can lose hair. It is not uncommon for people to lose their eyelashes or eyebrows.

Hair loss (alopecia) is a fairly common condition. The condition is more prevalent among older adults, but it can affect anyone, including children.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), people lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day. The loss of a few hairs on your head is not noticeable because you have approximately 100,000 hairs. Hair usually grows back after it is lost, but this isn't always the case.

The loss of hair can occur gradually over time or suddenly. The condition may be temporary or permanent, depending on the underlying cause.

  • Drains clogged with hair. You might find that your sink or shower drains are clogged with hair.

Common Causes of Hair Loss

Androgenetic Alopecia

Male and female pattern baldness are the most common causes of hair loss. Their causes are a combination of hormones (Testosterone), age and genetic predispositions. Women usually experience this condition later in life than men.

Hair loss caused by auto-immune disease in which your own immune system attacks and damages your own hair follicles.

Telogen Effluvium

The loss of hair occurs as a result of the disruption of normal hair cycle following a significant stressor, such as childbirth, acute illness, surgery, physical or emotional trauma, or crash dieting.

Loose Anagen Syndrome

Typically, loose anagen syndrome affects young children when hair that is not firmly rooted in the follicle can be easily pulled out. It usually occurs after the hair reaches a certain maximum length. Children with loose anagen syndrome often can't grow their hair beyond a relatively short length. This condition is more prevalent among girls with blond or brown hair.

The hair falls out easily in people with loose anagen syndrome, even when it's growing. The friction caused by a pillow, for example, can accelerate hair loss overnight. Loose anagen syndrome is unknown, but it may be linked to a disorder in hair growth that prevents hair from staying in the follicles for an extended period of time.

Treatments are few and far between, but puberty tends to improve the condition, and medication and effective hair loss treatments may increase hair density..

Underlying Medical Conditions and Nutritional Deficiencies

Thyroid diseases, connective tissue diseases, chronic kidney or liver disease can also lead to hair loss, as can insufficient dietary intake of iron, vitamin D, zinc, and a variety of other factors.

Scalp Diseases

Infections such as fungus and bacteria, as well as other local inflammatory disorders of the scalp such as seborrheic dermatitis, can result in patchy to focal hair loss and scaliness on the scalp.

Trichotillomania

Uncontrolled, obsessive self-plucking of the scalp that results in patchy hair loss, broken hair shafts, and scalp lesions.

Mechanical Damages

When repeated tension or pulling damages the hair follicle, it is referred to as traction alopecia.

Take Your Protein

There was a study conducted in 2017 that noticed a number of nutritional deficiencies in participants who had been suffering from hair loss, including amino acids, which serve as the building blocks for proteins in the hair follicles.
