Hairloss in Men and Women
The most personally disturbing time in a man or woman’s late twenties is not the feeling of failure, or success. Rather it’s the advent of hair loss. Yes, in our teens, we gloried in our full heads of hair, luscious long, glossy locks and never having to care about what products we use or abuse our hair with. Now, you shower and look down. You rinse your hair, running your fingers through your mass. And there you have it. Clogged drain. Strands upon strands in between your fingers. Distressing. And this phenomenon you tell yourself will pass, lasts and lasts. The cause for hairloss amongst men and women do vary slightly. For men, it’s the dreaded term: Male Pattern Baldness. For women, it’s commonly known as hormonal imbalance. But here are some common reasons for the hair loss. Most are not permanent and therefore if you address these issues, you’ll find yourself regaining your true crowning glory!1) Psychological reasons – most commonly known as stress. If you have any sudden or ongoing emotional stress, anxiety or trauma, you might find that you will have hairloss or thinning of your hair. This trend is not permanent and you will find that it stops as soon as the emotional stress does. 2) Physiological reason– the main hair producer hormone in our bodies is testosterone. But one of its derivatives, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) causes the hair follicle to shrink. 3) Hereditary factor – it’s true if you come from a family where one or two persons have suffered hair loss, you might too!4) Hygiene – look. If your scalp isn’t healthy or clean, do you think your hair would want to live there? Keep it clean, fungus free, airy. 5) Medication – there are some drugs and especially radiation therapy that unfortunately causes either the halt of the hair growth phase of hair follicles or cause the hairs to shed at the same time. 6) Others– pregnancy. Hair pulling (caused by pulling your hair into a ponytail too often, or using a curling tong too tightly). Oil buildup (called sebum). Menopause. All these can also cause hairloss over time. Now. I’m sure you’ve been able to identify with at least one of the above. For me, I was extremely distressed with the hairloss I encountered some months ago (the trend lasted a long time). Looking back, I can conclude it was a mixture of stress (I was going through a tough time at work), I had developed an oily scalp and I used a lot of curling tongs and ponytails (I had long hair). Since then, I’ve washed my hair with a special shampoo to clear the sebum at least twice a week (other times I wash with normal shampoo). I’ve cut my hair (so the loss isn’t so apparent!!). But for those with more severe hairloss, till you can see the hair thinning, I recommend a combination of supplements, hair tonic and shampoos specially suited to keep the health of the scalp at optimum levels, increase the blood flow to the scalp (as to promote healthy function of follicles and roots) by using the laser haircomb. I’ve recommended this system to many people who have had quite severe hair loss (bald patches, visible thinning) and they have experienced regrowth you can’t imagine! So there IS a solution. And you have the power to alter your habits and do something about it! Remember! Your crowning glory remains with you only as long as you take care of it!for more info, go to our website: www. regrowhaircare. com
