It's not the most beautiful theme, because hair loss is often associated with embarrassment. Since it's a little peace of mind when a good piece of advice is available. Relatives and friends may not always help, but the Internet there are so few counselors who give advice to those concerned with good support. Who seriously has problems with hair loss, which can give you information about this topic.

There is any indication - any guide everyday - good for those interested in, and then this, the attempted explanations of the various forms of hair loss with his problem to compare. So many women affected, this advice has already helped. At least informative. It may sound like a small consolation for the men - but women are affected by this problem. If indeed 60 percent of men are angry about hair loss, some women especially during menopause, these problems. The causes for hair loss are very different, and are only known: stress, heredity, nutrition, and hormonal changes. There are no quick fixes, but so many guide gives hints on how to deal positively with this problem. Many stakeholders helps even the proposition: "If the mind is - will have to give your hair!"

Baldness is reversible

Commonly is bald (or balding part) as irreversible - at least when it has evolved over the years and was caused not by radiation or otherwise. IS A bald but not irreversible. The hair follicles to shrink while during periods of inactivity, but they do not die. So we take measures in order to restore power. It must however be those measures which have not only the scalp in sight, but the whole organism. Then, the hair grow again and reach a normal long life.


Life cycle of hair

Like all living things have a certain hair life cycle: Each hair grows approximately one centimeter per month, and is aged between 2-7 years. Then dissolve the hair to fall out and make room for new hair. In this way, in normal hair fall out each day 50-100 hairs. They would not grow back, we had just a few years not a single hair on his head. If the scalp is adequately supplied with nutrients, grow hair on a regular basis, healthy and strong.
If the scalp is hungry

If the scalp is not now adequately supplied with nutrients, then collapses to the above described circuit. These are but a cycle that might work a whole life long - if the right nutrients. Now one could say: Okay, then I miss my scalp sometimes just a load of nutrients and already my bald spot will disappear. And right here is the crux of the story. Quite so simple it's not.

The scalp is a nutrient deficit that is only if the rest of the body is also a kind. It is therefore not possible to be plagued by lack of nutrients in the scalp, when the rest of the body is otherwise well supplied with nutrients. If you could now bestowed only to the scalp wonderful nutrients, then this would indeed only once in the scalp, the organism would be immediately redistributed but again, because the nutrients are in other places simply needed more urgently than in the scalp. A well-functioning liver or kidney is working properly is definitely worth more than a full head of hair - at least find your body.

Therefore, even the hair roots will re-activate only when the entire body in the treatment involves. But then - after a comprehensive whole-body de-acidification, according to a supply of the entire organism with high quality nutrients and minerals, and after a gut renovation (especially after restoration of intestinal flora) - may include measures to reactivate the hair roots grasp it and bring the desired results.

Hereditary hair loss

The diagnosis "hereditary hair loss" is an invention of the medical school. In reality you do not inherit the predisposition to hair loss, but more than the lifestyle of his parents. Not the genes are responsible for your hair loss, but your lifestyle. Conventional medicine but do to change that people would rather swallow drugs or resign instead of just their way of life and this convenience is backed with "hereditary" diagnoses.

Are inherited weaknesses and living habits, but never hair loss

Of course not all people get these original tribes bald or balding part, if they have lived for several years in the civilization. Only those who meet the ones who are genetically predisposed. So it hereditary, you are saying now. ONLY certain inherited weaknesses and unhealthy living habits. The latter cause the body to lose his balance. Only then can the inherited weaknesses become apparent.

Had the people been mentioned in their tribes and their ancient way of life, they would learn from their "hereditary" weak points at all. In other words, only in the usual with us today civilized way of life sooner or later everyone will have the dubious pleasure of getting to know his hereditary weaknesses. So there is a direct relationship between the modern lifestyle - of human nature simply does not match - and the ever-balding head of many people.

Hair loss: Problems the digestive system

For example, women hair loss can indicate a problem in the digestive system. With a lack of stomach acid or with a damaged intestinal nutrient absorption is far from optimal. The food can not be processed correctly and much-needed nutrients are excreted. A lack of minerals, vitamins and trace elements is the result.

Stomach acid deficiency can be recognized by the following symptoms:  bloating immediately after a meal, heartburn (which is not necessarily signs of too much stomach acid), diarrhea or constipation, brittle or soft nails, acne even in adults, iron deficiency, chronic gastro-intestinal infections and parasite or fungus.

Do any of these points apply to you, then a colon cleansing in combination with the use of probiotics would be extremely helpful. Deposits, toxins and waste products are released thereby, restored the intestinal flora and strengthen the immune system. Nutrients can be completely absorbed and then re-used for the body.

Diffuse hair loss

Diffuse hair loss can be remedied with targeted measures. Because of diffuse hair loss is primarily an indicator of nutritional and mineral deficiencies is (both in the whole organism and especially in the hair root), is after a thorough acidification, the supply of high quality nutrients and minerals - both externally and internally - one of the first steps in the successful action against diffuse hair loss.

Diffuse hair loss: An increasing number of women affected

With diffuse hair loss is the most common form of hair loss. Here, the hair will thin out in its entirety. Unlike the so-called hormonal hair loss or alopecia areata, the hair in diffuse hair loss are not only at certain points of (mind, receding hairlines, etc.), but are always less in total. Women are particularly affected by this type of hair loss and their numbers are growing.

Although men with thinning hair are usually not exactly happy about their appearance, but the women suffering significantly larger. While men with baldness are not unattractive, is that - at least in our Western society - unfortunately not for women. However, you lose / women with diffuse hair loss rarely fully all of the hair.

Possible causes for hair loss

The real cause of hair loss for medical science still seems to belong to one of the last unsolved riddle. Although in principle some possible triggers are being debated, but triggers are not necessarily at the same time the cause. The cause developed slowly over years, while a timer is only those drops which finally brings the camel's back.
Possible causes for hair loss can be:

• Mental stress such as stress, depression, sadness, worry, etc.

• Menopause, birth control pills, pregnancy, hormonal disorders.

• Thyroid problems.

• Medications (chemotherapy drugs, anticoagulants, beta-blockers (for hypertension), lipid-lowering drugs, thyroid medication, etc.)

• About poisoning by heavy metals, paints, varnishes, adhesives, solvents, medicines, insecticides, poisons such as mercury in dental fillings and palladium.

• Radiotherapy.

• Chemicals in conventional hair care and styling products.

• Infectious and metabolic diseases.

• Unbalanced diets and much more.

Should actually be one of these points was the cause of hair loss, it would have to find can be made relatively quickly. Often enough, but that's not the case. Then the person - if there is a man - with the message: fobbed hereditary hair loss.

If the person concerned is a woman, although her this diagnosis can also flourish in the majority of cases it receives, however, to listen hormonally related hair loss. It is true that both the genetic and hormonal disturbances accompanying certainly favor the development of hair loss, but this does not refer to the fundamental causes of hair loss. Exceptions are only acute poisoning; they do can cause hair loss can occur.

Since the usual diagnoses and conventional medical therapies usually do not lead to satisfactory results and the people are basically long term can not be helped, can not escape the suspicion that the usual diagnoses (hereditary hair loss, hormonal-related hair loss, hair loss as an autoimmune disease) may may not be quite complete and correct. Is the real solution to the problem of hair loss may be sought in an entirely different direction?

Prevent baldness in men

Men who are affected by baldness?


Baldness is common. In Europe, 30% of men over 30 are concerned. If the risk of hair loss increases with age, in case of strong family inheritance, the first signs can appear before the age of 20, in connection with puberty ...

What causes male-pattern baldness?


It is due to an acceleration of the hair cycle, a phenomenon that leads to premature exhaustion of the hair renewal. The cause is attributed to an excess of hormone receptor sensitivity to androgens (male sex hormones).

Hair loss: how does the consultation?


The physician performs an examination and a local review to confirm the diagnosis of androgen alopecia.
The health status of past and present, taking any medication, heredity possible, and so on., Are all elements that allow to rule out other causes for hair loss (stress, anesthesia, surgery, high fever , radiotherapy, chemotherapy, alopecia, hair fall seasonal, drugs ...).

The treatment of hair loss is primarily medical.


It is conventionally based on the application twice a day lotion (minoxidil and finasteride) can reduce the androgen levels in the scalp.
Studies of the effectiveness of this treatment showed that after 2 years, 80% of men aged 18 to 41 years no longer lose their hair. Some people find even an increase in the density of their hair. And after 5 years of treatment, 60% of male patients have stabilized.

The treatment has drawbacks, however. With twice daily topical applications, it is binding. Second, it must be taken for life (alopecia returned within 3 to 6 months after cessation of treatment). Finally, this treatment is expensive and not reimbursed by Social Security.

Attention to obtain very good results, treatment should begin early, when the subject still has fine hair. Otherwise, it will be moving to a different strategy, such as hair transplantation in bald areas.

Hypertension can reducing hair

Hair loss and blood pressure

Androgenic alopecia, or hair loss caused by hormones, is especially common in men with coronary artery disease. The causality of this relationship has never been elucidated. Hypertension represents a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, a team of researchers examined whether hypertensive patients were more often subject to hair loss.

Alopecia in hypertensive patients?

To do this, they recruited 250 people aged from 35 to 65 years and collected a lot of data, including the possible existence of hypertension, diabetes, a smoking, high cholesterol, a alopecia family etc.Au final, only a relationship between blood pressure and hair loss has been demonstrated. No other factors were associated with the value of blood pressure.

If hair loss, remember to raise your blood!

In conclusion, it may recommend to people who tend to lose their hair to check the voltage. It is possible that they are hypertensive. Or an excess of tension promotes cardiovascular disease. Should be taken very seriously this anomaly and correct it.

Hair loss in young men

Until now there was no method of measuring the normal daily hair loss recognized worldwide, to determine if a person starts to go bald, or if the amount of hair loss is normal. It often indicates that it is normal to lose up to 100 hairs a day, a figure based on the assumption that an average scalp has about 100,000 hair. Scientifically, the number of 100 hairs per day has not yet been proven. It does not take into account the consistency or otherwise of hair loss in life, any more than if this number is the same for men and women. Researchers from the Universities of Texas, Maryland and Pennsylvania have now designed a scientific practical test to quantify the normal hair loss in men. In their study, they combed through the hair loss of sixty white men in good health, without signs of baldness. Half of those in the sample were aged 20 to 40, the other half from 41 to 60 years. All men of the same test using a comb and washed their hair three mornings in a row with the same shampoo. The fourth, fifth and sixth morning, the scientists asked them to comb their hair for 60 seconds over a towel in a contrasting color.

60 seconds of combing

The results showed that young men lose an average of 10.2 hairs per 60 seconds of combing. Extreme values ​​are 0 to 78 hairs. Older men lost an average of 10.3 hairs per test, with extreme values ​​of 0 and 43 hair. Six months later, during a rehearsal of the study, similar results were observed in both age groups. In addition, the counting was not done this time by the persons in the sample, but by scientists. Scientists believe the small difference in the results of two tests, both in young men than among older test proves that the capillary 60 seconds is a simple, convenient and reliable to determine if it is a normal or hair loss problem. This hair loss differed from the average results of a previous study, which reached an average of 44 hairs. The researchers speculate that the use of shampoo explains this difference, and a spacing between the teeth of the comb teeth and a thickness of others. The next step which will tackle the scientists is the repetition of the test combing hair in women, men suffering from baldness, people of different ethnic origin and people with other forms of loss hair.

First action in hair loss

Hair loss or androgenic alopecia (from hormonally) is characterized by a progressive stripping and more or less important to the frontal region. At the time of perimenopause, a third of women over 40 are concerned. But sometimes the stripping also affects younger women, sometimes at puberty. Today, treatments are very effective. But we never find his hair exactly original. Therefore it is preferable to prevent the stripping rather than to regrow hair. The only solution is to encourage women to consult early, before the front is too sparse.

What are early signs that should encourage them to seek medical advice?

The first signs are not always easy to spot since the beginning, hair loss seems very trivial, resembling the hair loss associated with episodic change of seasons, for example, periods of stress, pregnancy, etc.. The reference is not to hesitate to seek medical advice. The following clues can help the diagnosis of androgenic alopecia.

• Episodic hair loss too close together.

• Pushes less dense and finer hair.

• Hair growth very fine and fluffy around the forehead, indicating not regrow, but the installation of alopecia.

• Sparse hair on the forehead.

• In case of long hair, a round elastic to tie them over.

• Family history of alopecia in women but also men.

Factors contributing to diffuse hair loss

• A diet too restrictive.

• A serious accident.

• Important psycho-shocked.

• A stress.

• General anesthesia.

• Surgical shock.

• High fever and prolonged.

• Bleeding.

• Taking certain medications: chemotherapy, psychotropic, antihypertensives, anticoagulants, anti-inflammatory, brain scan.

• The hormonal changes: after puberty, during the 2-3 months after delivery, at the time of menopause, for 2 to 3 months after cessation of oral contraception (the pill).

• Anemia: iron deficiency can slow the process of hair regrowth. It is common in women, particularly in cases of heavy periods and during pregnancy. This factor is easily removed by performing a blood test.

• A thyroid disorder: a malfunction of the thyroid gland results in a set of non-specific symptoms such as weight change, heart rhythm disorder, fatigue, etc.. So hair loss associated with these symptoms may suggest a thyroid origin. To remove any doubt, simply consult your doctor to perform a blood test of thyroid hormones.

Note that some factors trigger hair loss sudden and brutal (stress, anesthesia, fever, shock psycho ...) and others a more gradual fall (hormonal changes, medications, thyroid disorder, anemia ...).
When hair loss is diffuse, it is sufficient to eliminate or treat the trigger to stop it. Where this is not possible, it is best to consult for the prevention and reassurance.

There is another form of hair loss: localized to certain areas. This is usually one or alopecia areata, which always requires a consultation.
Finally, attacks the scalp are the cause of hair loss localized: chemicals (dyes, perms, curling, straightening), braids or buns too tight.

Medicines against hair loss

There are two types of medication on prescription.

Minoxidil ® (lotion) it slows hair loss, by delaying the hair cycle. It should be used early baldness. It comes as a lotion to apply every day, morning and night, directly on the scalp. The results are visible after several months of use (6 months). At the end of treatment, the fall back.

Finasteride (pills): it inhibits the activity of the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, a substance harmful to the hair bulb. Very effective, it stops hair loss in 86% of men treated for one year. Nearly half of men also find an increase in the density of their hair.

The other treatment involves transplanting hair grafts are collected hair on the crown, which is implanted on the top of the skull.

Preventative measures hair loss

If heredity and male hormones (testosterone excess) explain most cases of baldness in a man, there are other risk factors such as high stress (surgery, divorce ...), certain medications, a disease skin (fungi, lupus erythematosus, ...) or a lesion of the scalp (radiation, burn). These various possible causes why the hair falls out gradually, but sometimes in large quantities suddenly.

Finally, be aware that generally it is easier to stop or reduce hair loss than to regrow, hence the need to rapidly consult a dermatologist as soon as there is the problem, so that it identifies the cause, offering anticipatory guidance or special treatment.

What are the preventive actions of hair loss?

• Avoid harsh shampoos and other aggressive product (dye fixing?).
• Massage occasionally your scalp: head bent forward, make slow, gentle movements with your fingertips.
• Avoid too hot dryers.
• Dry your hair in the open rather than using a dryer.
• Avoid pulling the hair accessories (elastic, curling irons, headbands?).
• Protect your scalp and your skin during sun exposure, wearing a hat or cap.
• Do not be deficient in vitamins and minerals (iron, copper, zinc, silicon, B vitamins), using a varied diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
• Drink plenty of fluids (water) and regularly.
• Learn how to reduce stress by practicing relaxation such as meditation or yoga. Stress directly affects hormone production.
• If you are having chemotherapy, wear a helmet cooling sessions. This process helps to limit hair loss.

Hair loss: what are the causes?

There are many causes for excessive hair loss, ranging from stress methods of aggressive styling, to certain medications, dermatitis, or a thyroid disorder or simple hormonal disturbances. As part of androgenic alopecia, male hormones, androgens, are justly concerned. This form of hair loss affects roughly half of the men, who are gradually thin out their heads (sides, forehead and on the top) and from 10 to 20% of women (overall reduction of the hair). And yes, women also secrete androgens (testosterone), but in smaller quantities.

If you want to keep your hair, start by quitting!

A team of Taiwanese researchers examined the link between androgenic alopecia, a form of hair loss the most common, and smoking. More than 700 men aged 40-90 years participated in this study. Amounts of data were collected (family history of alopecia, risk factors for hair loss, health?) And supplemented by specific tests that determine the degree of hair loss each participant.La conclusion is clear: smoking 20 or more cigarettes per day increases the risk of alopecia 134%. So to keep his hair, better stop all tabagisme.Quant mechanisms, they remain to be elucidated. The effects of smoking could go through hormonal changes. But the toxic substances in the smoke could also simply destroy the hair follicles, causing the permanent renewal of hair?

Contraception and hair loss

The pill can make hair fall


It is true that some birth control pills can make hair fall. This is true of progestin-only pills, which contain no estrogen. But beware: on the contrary, rich in estrogen pills are beneficial for the hair. So do not point fingers all hormonal contraceptives, but simply make its selection carefully.


Contraception and hair loss: how to choose?


If you have problems with hair loss, or if there is family in many cases of genetic alopecia, talk to your doctor when choosing your method of contraception. While most of the pills are not a problem for some women find the "right" is to juggle different side effects ... Keep in mind that there are also alternatives to the pill itself:

• Vaginal ring, less hormones assayed because it acts locally.
• The implant or patch, also dosed less because they must not pass the obstruction of the digestive system.
• The intrauterine device or IUD, which can deliver a low dose of hormones or no hormones at all according to your choice.

Hair closely linked to hormone

The relationship between our birth and our hair? Is that the health and even the presence of our hair is tied significantly to our hormones. This is especially true, of course, for men. Baldness, the majority of them suffer from a certain age, called androgenetic alopecia, is indeed caused by hormones. The hair follicles of men affected, under the influence of testosterone, in fact, fail to grow more hair finer and the down, then ... nothing more.

 

Women are also affected by the loss of hair to hormones, although they have much less testosterone in their blood than men. All know that hormonal changes a woman (pregnancy, contraception, menopause) will have an influence on the health of her hair.

Available solutions against hair loss

Food supplements

Like all cells in the body, our hair needs nutrients. There are all kinds of food supplements on the market. Overall, retain the hair need most of sulfur amino acids and vitamins B5, B6 and PP. If no improvement after three to four months, no point in continuing this track of the food supplement.

Drugs

Minoxidil ®: is the form of a solution to apply on the scalp, minoxidil acts by promoting dilation of local vessels, thus improving nutrient intake.

Finasteride: intended for men only, finasteride is a drug that counteracts the action of male hormones in the scalp.

Hair transplants

New techniques allow to obtain results very natural, and sustainable. They therefore represent an attractive alternative when the drugs have not produced the desired results, that is to say that their action was too long, insufficient and unsustainable.

The techniques are many and there are many variations.

Include the DHI Direct or hair implantation, which are implanted one by one hair or hair collected from areas filled (neck, behind the ears, chest ...). You should know that the hairs taken from the torso, for example, behave when implanted in the dermis as normal hair. This technique is time consuming but it is interesting as painless, it leaves no scar and the hair re-implanted immediately operational because revascularization is immediate.

Another method is based on highly efficient long hair micrografts. Strips are taken in a well stocked to be grafted into the bald areas. Long hair can hide immediately sparsely furnished and small crusts that form around the strips. Per session, you can relocate until 3000 hair.

The techniques are developed rather quickly in this area and we already hear about the growth factors that could stimulate scalp hair growth in areas specifically bald.

One thing is certain, do not expect to have lost too much hair to consult your doctor or a dermatologist!

Why are you experiencing hair loss?

Lose 50 to a hundred hairs a day is not worrying. This is normal, due to the ongoing renewal of hair. So when some hair are born, others die and fall off. However, sometimes hair loss is increasing. While some reasons are common to both sexes, others are more specifically feminine or masculine.

Hair loss typically male

Hair loss most classic men is hormonal. It baldness or androgenetic alopecia. Male hormones tend to accentuate the hair cycle. Result, they fall further and faster, until all hair follicles.

Hair loss in women

In women, it is typically the life events that can lead to hair loss. Especially during pregnancy and menopause, which, again, hormonal changes occur. But periods of fatigue or stress are common causes of hair loss in women, not to mention tobacco!

The reasons mixed

Hair loss can be linked to certain diseases and certain medications. Accidents or injuries, such as acne scars, are sometimes responsible. We must also remember to look to his plate. Indeed an unbalanced diet can also cause hair loss.

Most common cause hair loss

Androgenetic alopecia is the most common cause

Androgenetic alopecia is hair loss associated with age and varies from person to person depending on genetic factors. In men, androgenetic alopecia baldness begins with the troughs or gulfs temporal, followed by a decline in the hairline. In other cases, the top of the head is balding, little by little and tonsure appears.

Hair loss is progressive and gets worse in stages. It meets the sides and the area of ​​the neck. The scalp is normal. In addition, the hair tends to be refined. Women are not spared and it is estimated that approximately 10-20% of them suffer from androgenetic alopecia.

Women are increasingly affected by this problem, without anyone to know exactly the cause. This increase may be related to androgenic activity of some oral contraceptives. Stress may also play a role in this increase, women with a way of life more stressful than before. The method of baldness is different in women, hair loss is more diffuse, affecting especially the top of the head.
