Hair loss is such a common problem being faced by people of all ages nowadays and there are many factors aggravating the condition
. To know more about hair loss one needs to know about basics of hairs first like what's the normal pattern of hair growth and how it's been converted to hair loss?
The growth of each hair is 1 cm per month during the normal hair growth cycle which is for 2-3 years.10% of hairs are in resting phase on your scalp while 90percent is in growing phase The resting 10% falls out after every 3-4 months to be replaced by new ones. The disturbance in normal hair growth cycle results in hair loss and there is new hair growth after these hair falls, but unfortunately these days due to poor eating habits and hormonal imbalance people face rapid hair loss without replacement by new hairs which results in thinning hair and ultimately to some degree of baldness. Baldness is seen more commonly in men and it's due to a condition known as Androgenetic alopecia, and it is caused by increased levels of a component of testosterone which is DHT. Females face this baldness to a less degree and the hormones involved in it are estrogen and progesterone.
After hereditary cause, diet plays a major role in hair fall. Take nutritious diet full of proteins and vitamins. Use your fingertips to massage oil in your scalp as it increases blood circulation and opening pores there to facilitate hair growth. Every day and night do gentle combing or brushing of your hair which again open the clogged pores with oil. 100-200 strokes of comb is recommended a day. Avoid too much use of hair products like gel, mousse and hair sprays also avoid blow drying hairs frequently. Hair loss is induced by heat, sunlight and tight fitting hats as they causes excessive sweat to weaken the hairs. Hair dyes also makes hair fragile causing damage to hairs leading to hair breakage and then hair loss. Stressful life and improper sleep also aggravates hair loss. Make a habit to use conditioner daily plus trim your hairs after every two months.
