How to manage HAIRLOSS?

Hair loss (alopecia) can be temporary or permanent, and it can affect only your scalp or your entire body. It can be caused by heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions, or it can be a normal part of aging. Anyone can lose hair on their head, but men are more likely to do so.

Baldness is typically defined as excessive hair loss from the scalp. The most common cause of baldness is hereditary hair loss with age. Some people prefer to let their hair loss progress unabated and unnoticed. Others may conceal it with different hairstyles, makeup, hats, or scarves. Others opt for one of the available treatments to prevent further hair loss or to restore growth.

Types of Hair Fall:

Herediatery Hair Loss (Alopecia Androgenetica) :

Hereditary hair loss is referred to medically as alopecia androgenetic. Hair follicles degenerate progressively as a result of inherited hypersensitivity to androgens, particularly DHT (dihydrotestosterone).
This affects both men and women, with the main distinction being how it progresses. The more advanced the hair follicle degeneration, the more severe the hair loss. Bald patches should be addressed as soon as possible. Hair growth can often be reactivated within three years of hair loss. In order to prevent future thinning hair, one should also aim to preserve and strengthen existing hair structures.

Diffuse Hair Loss (Alopecia Diffusa):

This term refers to complete hair loss on the head. It can affect hair growth all over the body, but it is usually limited to the scalp.
There are various causes for the premature transition from the growth phase (anagen phase) to the hair loss phase (telogen phase). High fever infections, protein, iron, or vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances in women (pregnancy/birth, menopause), liver diseases, and major operations are examples. Stress, a hectic and heavy workload, and psychological pressure are also increasingly common causes. Diffuse hair loss naturally disappears once the cause is removed — but the ca32weuse is frequently unknown, so the hair loss persists for many years.

Circular Hair Loss (Alopecia Areata):

Alopecia areata, also known as circular hair loss, is characterised by distinct, progressive bald spots that can spread across the entire head.
There are various progression forms that can result in total hair loss on the head (Alopecia totalis) or total hair loss on the entire body (Alopecia totalis) (Alopecia universalis). The precise causes are unknown, but it is widely assumed that Alopecia areata is caused by an auto-immune reaction. In this case, inflammatory cells at the lower end of the hair follicles inhibit hair growth. Because the hair follicles remain intact, spontaneous remissions are always possible, but baldness persists in the majority of cases.

Hair Loss through Chemotherapy (Alopecia Medicamentosa):

Chemotherapy-induced hair loss, also known as Alopecia Medicamentosa. The cytostatic drugs used during chemotherapy cause hair loss on the scalp (mostly reversible). In this case, the progression is largely determined by the substances used, the dosage, and the duration of treatment. Cytostatic drugs are a class of drugs that inhibit cell growth while also affecting the activity of hair follicles. Normally, hair grows back about 3 months after chemotherapy, but there have been an increasing number of cases of persistent hair growth disorder.

What causes hair loss?

The average person loses 50 to 100 hairs per day. Because new hair is growing in at the same time, this is usually not noticeable. When new hair does not replace the hair that has fallen out, this results in hair loss.
Hereditary: A hereditary condition that occurs with ageing is the most common cause of hair loss. Androgenic alopecia, male-pattern baldness, and female-pattern baldness are all names for this condition. It usually happens gradually and in predictable patterns, with men experiencing a receding hairline and bald spots and women experiencing thinning hair along the crown of the scalp.
Medications and supplements: Certain drugs, such as those used to treat cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, gout, and high blood pressure, can cause hair loss.
Changes in hormones and medical conditions: A variety of conditions, including hormonal changes caused by pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and thyroid problems, can result in permanent or temporary hair loss. Alopecia areata, an immune-related condition that causes patchy hair loss, scalp infections such as ringworm, and trichotillomania, a hair-pulling disorder, are examples of medical conditions.
A very stressful event: Several months after a physical or emotional shock, many people notice a general thinning of their hair. This kind of hair loss is only temporary.
Hairstyles and treatments: Excessive hairstyling or hairstyles that pull your hair tight, such as pigtails or cornrows, can cause traction alopecia, a type of hair loss. Hair loss can also be caused by hot-oil hair treatments and permanents. Scarring may result in permanent hair loss.
Lack of Vitamin Intake in Body.

How can we regenerate the lost hair?

Can we regenerate the lost hair? Yes, it is possible to regenerate the lost hair, but only if the scalp roots are alive.

I know this Transformation is painful, But you’re not falling apart; You’re just falling into something different with a new capacity to be Beautiful”

What should you do to regenerate the lost hair? Well, here are some hair loss regeneration tips:

Wash your hair on a regular basis with a gentle shampoo: Regular hair washing helps to prevent hair loss by keeping the hair and scalp clean. By doing so, you reduce the likelihood of infections and dandruff, which can lead to hair breakage or loss. Furthermore, clean hair appears to have more volume.
Vitamin Prevents hair loss: Vitamins are not only good for your overall health, but they are also good for your hair. Vitamin A promotes healthy sebum production in the scalp, vitamin E improves blood circulation in the scalp, allowing hair follicles to remain productive, and vitamin B helps hair retain its healthy color.
Onion juice, garlic juice or ginger juice: Apply one of the juices to your scalp, leave it on overnight, and then rinse it out in the morning. If you do it on a regular basis for a week, you will notice a difference.
Physical activity: Make time every day for physical activity. Walking, swimming, or biking for 30 minutes a day helps balance hormonal levels, reduces stress, and reduces hair fall.
Avoid using hot oil treatments: These cause the hair to heat up, which further damages fragile hair.
Avoid Smoking: Cigarette smoking reduces the amount of blood that flows to the scalp, resulting in a reduction in hair growth.
Stop coloring, perming, chemical straightening, and relaxing at home: If you want to use these, look for a salon that specializes in the service you want and has professionals who understand how to examine your scalp and hair to find the best product for you. Ensure that the salon follows up with a moisturizing conditioner.
Wash and condition your hair without causing it any harm: Hair that is thinning or falling out is extremely fragile and easily damaged.

Dermatologists advise their patients suffering from hair loss to do the following:

Use a gentle shampoo to clean your hair. Some shampoos can deplete your hair's moisture.
Following each shampoo, use a moisturizing conditioner. Conditioner coats your strands, preventing breakage and splitting ends.
Use a detangler or leave-in conditioner. Using this after every wash and condition helps to reduce breakage, split ends, and frizz.
To help your hair dry faster, wrap it in a microfiber towel.
This cuts down on the amount of time you spend blow-drying your hair.

Brush or comb your hair gently: and only as much as necessary to style it. Hair loss can be caused by tugging on your hair while brushing or combing it.
Consume nutritious foods: Hair loss can occur if you don't get enough of certain nutrients, such as iron or protein.
Keep away from chemicals: Harsh chemicals and permanent hair colorants may be harmful to hair health. It is not recommended to color your hair if you are experiencing hair loss.
Keep your head sweat free: Men with oily hair suffer from dandruff during the summer as a result of sweating, and the likelihood of hair loss increases. Shampoos containing aloe vera and neem can keep the scalp cool and prevent dandruff.
Avoid Constant heating & drying: Don't subject your hair to frequent, continuous heating and drying. Heat weakens hair proteins, and repeated heating and drying can result in weakness and fragility, resulting in hair loss.
Stop smoking if you do: Tobacco use causes inflammation throughout the body, which can exacerbate hair loss.
Take care of your health: Hair loss is often preceded by health issues. To maintain healthy hair, make sure you properly treat chronic illnesses, high fevers, and infections.
Biotin: Biotin, also known as vitamin H, is a B complex vitamin that aids our bodies in the conversion of food into energy. According to research, including biotin-rich foods in your diet or taking a biotin supplement may help slow hair loss. If you suffer from hair loss, include biotin-rich foods in your diet such as nuts, sweet potatoes, eggs, onions, and oats.
Green tea: Green tea is not only good for losing weight, but it is also a herbal remedy for hair loss. Green tea contains polyphenolic compounds, which are thought to be beneficial in preventing hair loss.
Bhringraj: Bhringraj, also known as False Daisy, is a medicinal herb that has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine to prevent hair loss. Bhringraj extract promotes hair regrowth, according to lab mouse studies.
Eating too few calories: on a daily basis can also result in significant hair loss.
Change how you style your hair (for men with long hair): If you've been losing hair recently, you should loosen it up. Ponytails, braids, and artificial hairstyles pull or tug on hair follicles, which can eventually lead to baldness.
