Three Factors that Cause Hair Loss
Most of us have heard that too much hat-wearing or poor
circulation to the scalp can cause hair loss. Theses causes all
have been proven to be myths, and the real causes of hair loss
are stress, health, and hormones.
Stress can cause your hair to literally fall out. Usually the
hair loss occurs 3 months after you`ve gone through the
stressful period. Then you will need another 3 months after you
begin losing hair for your hair growth to begin again ( if the
stress has been diffused ). Your bodies built in healing process
considers your emotional problem so important, that it ignores
your hair putting it into a resting phase. This resting phase is
known as Telogen Effluvium. Stress can also trigger genetic hair
loss. If your already losing hair stress will cause you to lose
hair even faster. So stress plays a big role in hair loss, keep
your blood pressure down!
Health is also a factor in hair loss. Damaged blood vessel
linings can inhibit your hair growth. This is because these
blood vessel linings normaly produce endothelium-derived
relaxing factor (E.D.R.F.) or nitric oxide (N.O.). Studies also
show that there is a strong relationship between people with
heart disease experienceing hair loss. Also, diabetics have a
higher risk of experiencing hair loss.
Lastly, male hormones called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is
known to be the most common reason for male pattern hair loss.
DHT is produced from testosterone which is produced by the
enzyme 5-apha reductase. DHT has a very high affinity being up
to ten times more potent than testosterone. Your DHT hormones
can be balanced which medication, these medications will
resurrect your hair follicles bringing them out of their resting
phase and your hair will begin to grow again. The most popular
hair loss medication is Propecia, Propecia can be bought through
the online pharmacy I will link to at the bottom of this
article. An inbalance of DHT triggers and autoimmune response in
pattern loss, which initiates an attack on your hair follices.
Gradually your hair follices will become inflammed putting your
hair in a resting phase which causes hair to only fall out not
grow.
Half of the men and women in just the U.S. suffer from hair
loss. The good news is hair loss is no longer something you have
to live with. There are many treatments out there, some will
correct the inbalance of DHT in your body to allow you to grow
your own hair again, some simply need patience or counseling,
and of course you can turn to expensive hair transplant surgery.
But why get to this point, just know the three factors that
cause hair loss and your chances of having a full head of hair,
go way up!
