Daily hair loss is part of the normal hair growth cycle. 90% of our hair is in a growing stage with 10% in resting phase. However it is when hair loss is in excess of this normal hair shedding that people tend to notice hair thinning. These include: Plenty of reasons cause hair loss. Alopecia areata: Causes rapid hair loss and affects men and women. This is the result of dysfunctional immune system when the white cells of the body attacks the hair follicles. Alopecia Totalis is another condition where there is total loss of hair on the scalp. This is an uncommon condition. The Provillus hair loss solution contains a combination of a liquid and capsule product, which re grows hair
fast.
Hereditary causes: This can result in male pattern baldness which causes 25% of men getting bald by age 30. Male hormone testosterone could also be another contributing factor. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is produced with the conversion of testosterone which either hampers or stops growth and produces weak and short hair. Men not possessing any testosterone would also not have male pattern baldness.
Skin diseases: this could also be responsible for hair loss and it can affect the scalp. Dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, scalp fungus such as ringworm and tinea captis are some of the common skin diseases which cause hair loss.
Sudden illness or fever: this could also cause massive hair loss. However, this only lasts for a little time.
Childbirth, menopause, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and aging are some of the other common causes of hair loss. These are the main reasons for losing hair but there are others.
Hair loss can often be treated successfully; not only can you stop hair from falling but you can re-grow hair as well. Here are some natural ways you could treat hair loss:
1. Vitamins A, B, C and E are hair promoters. Include them in the diet. What are the roles of these vitamins? They provide sebum, promote blood circulation to the scalp by enhancement of oxygen absorption and collagen.
2. Scalp care: Use herbal oils like olive oil, jojoba oil, amla oil for regular massaging of the scalp. In conditions of alopecia areata, several oils are proven to be beneficial.
3. Avoid scalp abuse: Stop daily use of harmful chemical shampoos and blow drying. You can severely damage hair and scalp by coloring as well as straightening. Even washing your hair daily with hot water will cause it to get stripped of natural oils and make it dry and brittle.
4. Going the herbalk way: Try using powders of amla, shikakai, henna and ritha as shampoo and conditioner. Amla powder is a powerful natural anti-oxidant that prevents graying and hair loss and is the richest known source of vitamin C in natural form. Shikakai, often called as the Fruit of hair, has a low pH. Henna is a wonder natural conditioner after this.
5. Change in Lifestyle: Stress, an important contributor to hair loss can be reduced by exercising and meditation. Quit smoking; the nicotine in cigarettes constricts blood vessels and decreases blood flow to the scalp. Avoid over exposure to the sun as the UV rays could damage your scalp.
