DHT hair Loss
Hair loss is one of the most common problems faced by men and women. The hair is like a forest: it grows, lives and dies. Dead hairs fall and are replaced by young hairs. Losing 50-100 hairs per day is normal. Sometimes, the amount of hair lost exceeds the normal limits. Baldness occurs when the hair lost is not replaced by new hair. But what are the causes of hair loss?
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, hair loss causes can be divided in two categories: androgenetic alopecia (a form of genetic hair loss) and Telogen effluvium (temporary hair loss).
90% of your hair should be growing at any time. This process lasts for 2-6 years, being followed by 2-3 months of stagnation. Thus, we lose about 50-100 hairs daily, hairs that are replaced by some new ones. The hair lost is renewed permanently.
Androgenic alopecia is a genetic condition, resulting in partial or complete baldness. Although it is more common in men, women can also be affected. Hereditary factors influence the age at which the hair begins to fall and the type of baldness.
If alopecia occurs because of non- genetic factors, (the existence of a condition such as anemia, stress, thyroid disease, deficiency of fatty acids or zinc), hair loss is reversible in most cases. Keep in mind that hair loss is also influenced by an internal administration of drugs that have a harmful effect on the body.
Drugs that can cause hair loss are those used for gout, cancer, antidepressants, high doses of Vitamin A, medicines for blood pressure, and birth control pills.
Nutritional factors have a significant impact on hair. A diet poor in nutrients can cause hair loss. If your daily menu doesn’t contain enough iron and zinc, it’s recommended to take vitamins. Other causes and medical conditions that can cause hair loss ask include: physical or emotional stress, serious illnesses, birth, high fever, thyroid dysfunctions, problems of the scalp, weight loss, diabetes.
Keep in mind that it’s nothing to worry about. There are a many effective hair loss treatments on the market. You just have to choose the right solution for your needs.
