Note that daily care plays a positive role in improving hair loss. The following are some points to pay attention to in life.
- If the scalp is washed daily with shampoo and hot water, it will damage the fat protective film on the outer skin of the head and make the hair fall more easily. However, if you do not wash your hair frequently, the scalp and dirt will be too much, blocking the pores, so it is best to wash it every other day.
- Insufficient sleep will increase the amount of scalp oil secretion and increase the chance of hair. It may also affect normal metabolism and blood circulation, hinder the absorption of nutrients by hair follicles, and increase the chance of hair loss. So try to get enough rest.
- In the sun, the collagen protein under the scalp will break, and the strong sunlight will make the skin fragile and affect the hair root support; in addition, the rain water and the pollutants in the air are mixed and acidic. If it is not cleaned immediately, it will easily damage the skin of the head, so both situations are avoided.
- Avoid using hair products such as hair lotion, etc., because these products may contain alcohol that damages the scalp, and the chemicals in them may hinder the pores of the hair and cause the hair to fall off.
- During exercise, the body’s blood circulation increases, which has a positive effect on preventing hair loss. In addition, massage your scalp with your fingertips for about ten minutes during shampooing to increase blood circulation to the head.
- Balanced nutrition is very important for the health of hair. Milk and kelp can help hair growth. Irritating foods such as coffee, chocolate, mango, etc. should be eaten as little as possible, because these foods will increase scalp fat and speed up the hair fall.
Hair loss crisis
All along, middle-aged men are most troubled by hair loss. But the United States published a survey at the end of 1999, but it sounded the alarm for young men. The report shows that male hair loss has become more common than ever. How much hair loss is a crisis?
80 hair loss every day belongs to normal
hair loss because of poor blood circulation in the subcutaneous layer of the head, the hair bulb fails to transport oxygen and nutrients, so that the hair does not get enough nutrition and dry and fall off. In general, the average person loses about 50 to 80 hairs per day, and for a total of about 120,000 hairs on the entire head, it is not too much. However, if more than 80 drops per day is abnormal. Especially if you notice an increase in dandruff, itchy head and frequent hair loss, you should pay more attention to it.
Baldness Belongs to a Family of Genetic
baldness because male hormone concentration is too high, which shortens the growth period of hair follicles and even shrinks hair follicles. This situation is mainly due to family genetic influence. If any parent has baldness, the chance of baldness is relatively high. In addition, external pulling, taking drugs, endocrine disorders, disease infections, malnutrition, scalp skin lesions, etc. can cause a lot of hair loss.
Four Common Hair Loss Treatments
The most important thing for treating hair loss is to find out the causes of hair loss. Starting with daily care and lifestyle habits, and with the aid of drugs, it is expected to restore hair to life.
- Health hair medicine
approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved tonic Minoxidil, which was originally a drug used to treat high blood pressure , they found that the drug helps stimulate the scalp pores effect. - Experiments have confirmed that if the bald person is applied twice a day, 65% of people stop it and grow new hair after three months, and the side effects are less. However, it takes three to twelve months to know whether this medicine is effective, and the large range of baldness or long hair loss (more than five years) will affect the hair growth effect.
- The main function of the hair growth pills
is to reduce the amount of DHT in the human body (DHT is a substance in the genetic factors that causes male hair loss and baldness). Experimental results show that after taking the raw hair pill for two years, the patient has about 70% to 80% chance to cure the baldness in the second half of the top of the head. However, it takes six months to half a year to realize the therapeutic effect of this medicine, and it takes life-long use. - Hair
weaving is to weave a braid through the remaining hair near the ears of the bald, and then put on a hair net to braid the scalp. But this operation is not suitable for people who are completely bald or have sensitive skin. - Hair transplant
The method is to transplant hair follicles near the back of the head, while the transplanted hair follicles absence of any hormonal influence, not reproduce it crisis, never worry about. However, people with severe baldness or young people will need to undergo a transplant operation every six months, and the results will be achieved three to four times.
It should be noted that the doctor should be consulted before taking such drugs.
Hair loss problem young
Young people also face the problem
of hair loss. Do n’t think that it is just a problem for older people. Research shows that hair loss and baldness tend to be younger.
At the fifty-sixth annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology in Florida, a study surveyed 266 white men and found that 42% of men aged 18 to 49 years faced it. Since the same age group last year, this time the results have increased by 33%.
The content of the interview was investigated, including the quality of life and the degree of self-awareness of hair loss, and experts evaluated the degree of hair loss of the respondents. From the reported results, it can be inferred that the number of men suffering from hair loss is increasing in the age group of 18 to 49 years.
The researchers further analyzed the above results and found that the rate of young men aged 18 to 29 suffering from it was 16%. The age group of 30 to 39 and 40 to 49 years old jumped to 50%. The study also found that men suffering from hair loss often feel that the hairline is constantly receding, which psychologically constitutes pressure and affects personal judgment of self.
Therefore, some men who believe that they have moderate or severe it, no matter how old they are, will be more concerned about the degree of their aging, and at the same time be alert to whether others pay attention to their hair loss, or after comparing themselves with others, they are more concerned about the current situation dissatisfied.
When facing the problem of it, in addition to paying attention to the degree of it, you must also pay attention to your psychological state. In fact, how much hair has little to do with the health of the body, the most important thing is to live a normal life and maintain a cheerful mood.
