Hair loss: There is a solution
If you are searching for any of the following topics: Look no further. You'll find it at This site Hair loss: There is a solution For thousands of years, hair has been recognised as one of the most important symbols of beauty and vitality. In mythology, the shearing of Samson's locks by Delilah resulted in his strength being sapped. Cleopatra immersed herself in luxuriant baths of milk and honey to revitalise her hair and skin. And in the time of Elizabeth I and Louis XIV, ostentatious and elaborate wigs were worn to cover balding, which was caused by overzealous bleaching of hair. In today's modern times, men and women still strive to maintain their "crowning glories"; unfortunately many individuals ultimately suffer from balding to one degree or another. And although bald jokes have long been the fodder of comedians, it is no laughing matter for those people who often endure painful emotional trauma and lack of self-esteem due to hair loss. Who suffers from hair loss Alopecia (pronounced "alo-pee-sha"),the general scientific term for various types of balding, can affect men, women and children of all ages.Over 50% of men have male pattern hair loss by the age of 50. Hair loss in women is also common: about 40% of women will suffer from female pattern hair loss by the time they reach menopause . Women's hair loss differs from men's in that it tends to result in "thinning hair", usually across the top of the scalp. Various types of alopecia affect children and young people and are often the result of trauma, stress , or illness which have resulted in high fever and the use of antibiotics over an extended period of time. What causes hair loss There is a wide range of factors that may cause balding in individuals. Some of the most common are: * Stress. Physical, psychological or emotional stress can lead to a particularly vicious downward spiral: as a person loses hair, stress increases, thus leading to greater hair loss... and more stress... * Drying hair improperly. Also known as friction alopecia, this is caused by individuals (usually men) who vigorously rub their hair dry after washing it, mistakenly thinking that this action will stimulate blood flow. In fact, the friction can lead to hair being literally rubbed away. * Poor nutrition. A healthy diet is essential for healthy hair. Hair loss is often one of the unfortunate side effects of eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia. * Hormonal imbalances. Fluctuations in hormones, which sometimes occur in teenagers and women, can trigger higher testosterone production which induces balding. * Drugs and radiation. Chemotherapy used on cancer patients often results in total loss of hair on the head. The hair usually grows back, but there are cases where hair does not regrow or takes much longer than expected to return to its original state. Certain drugs (including steroids) can cause hair to fall out. What can be done Individuals concerned about hair loss should carefully examine their lifestyle and alter it in order to promote physical well-being. Blot drying one's hair gently with a towel, taking vitamin supplements, eating healthily, doing relaxation exercises, and avoiding excessive alcohol intake, smoking and over-exercising, will all go a long way in helping to reverse hair loss. Emotional well-being also plays a vital role in a person's health: a happy person is generally a healthier person. A visit to a physician is recommended in cases where a person in uncertain as to the reasons for his or her hair loss.
