Pointers about Hair Loss

Worried about hair loss? Perhaps you shouldn’t fret as much. Knowing basic facts about baldness, hair loss, or alopecia can help you arrive at apt treatments for the condition. The following are pointers you can learn about hair loss:

Male-Pattern Baldness

To a degree, hair loss can be inherited from your mother’s or father’s genes. A high level of the male hormone testosterone in the blood is also largely to blame, so if you are losing your hair, you can also be extra confident, as it is an indication that you are virile. The main problem with male pattern baldness is not hair fall but new hair not growing. So it is important to look after what you have got.

Desalinated Water

Most countries rely heavily upon desalinated water to provide the water that comes from our taps. The problem with desalinated water is that it can damage the hair follicle causing it to break off. So what is often perceived as hair fall is in fact hair damage, and fortunately the hair will grow again. Use hair products containing Anti-Sal formulations to stop minerals from desalinated water drying and damaging your hair. To check if the hair fall is caused by desalinated water, look at the hair strand under a magnifying glass and if there is no hair bulb or root, then it is hair breakage probably caused by desalinated water.

Poor Diet

Hair cells grow quicker than practically any other cells in your body, and so they require a continuous supply of nutrients. But because hair is not an essential body organ, it is low down on your own body’s list of priorities and gets the nutrients last.

Protein for Healthy Hair

Hair is made up of protein called keratin and it is therefore important to have enough protein in your diet. Vegetarians must be especially careful to make sure that they have sufficient protein in their diet, as insufficient protein can cause thinning hair. The incidence of women who have thinning hair is very high among those who have crash diets.
