14 focus - Alexander Pope Beauty draws us with a single hair. Hair is a cornerstone of self-esteem and identity for many. Hair is jewellery; an accessory, an important determinant of physical attractiveness and a way of expressing individuality. Strong, thick, shiny and long hair goes a long way in making you feel confident. It defines the way you want to come across in life. However, hectic, chaotic lives, overuse of styling products, incorrect eating and stress can take their toll on hair. No matter what the type, everyone can have healthier hair and, if we treat it right, it can become a crown we never take off! Focus On Hair Care yourwellness.com • Volume VII • Issue II • July 2018
15 Losing hair can be emotionally traumatic and can lead to depression, anxiety and loss of confidence. It can change your appearance significantly, making you look much older. Hair loss sufferers are frustrated at the time and trouble they need to take to camouflage thinning hair and the inability to style their hair as they would like. It has been scientifically proven through studies that women tend to suffer more emotionally and psychologically than men on losing hair. A 1992 study, in the ‘Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology’, that compared the psychological impact of hair loss on men and women found that women had a more negative body image and were less able to adapt to the loss. Why Are You Losing Hair? We normally shed 50 to 100 hairs a day. This does not cause thinning of hair because at the same time new hair is growing on the scalp. But sudden hair loss is something to take seriously. According to the Mayo Clinic, this loss of hair occurs when the cycle of hair growth and shedding is disrupted or when the hair follicle is destroyed and replaced with scar tissue. Hair disorders like alopecia (hereditary thinning or baldness) are the most common cause of hair loss, affecting millions. However, there are other reasons that can result in hair loss, including: Family history: According to a Harvard Medical School report, hereditary-pattern baldness is the most common cause of hair loss. Hereditarypattern baldness is not really a disease, but a natural condition caused by some combination of genetics, hormone levels and the ageing process. Age: Hair thins as you age. Although the amount of hair loss due to ageing is largely determined by genetics, nearly all people experience some hair loss due to ageing. As you age, the hair begins to fall out. Normally, hair falling out would be replaced with new hair growth; however, as we age, this happens less and less. As you age, your hair also loses some of its elasticity causing it to become brittle and break easily. It’s not uncommon for menopausal women to experience hair thinning and hair loss simultaneously. The hair follicles also get smaller and smaller so that they produce very fine hair. This can happen in both men and women. Pregnancy: According to americanpregnancy.org, “During pregnancy, an increased number of hairs go into the resting phase, which is a part of the normal hair loss cycle. This condition is not serious enough to cause bald spots or permanent hair loss, and it should begin to diminish within 3-4 months after delivery.” Certain medical conditions: Diabetes, thyroid disorders, and lupus are known culprits. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that attacks hair follicles. Certain scalp infections too are responsible for hair loss. Medications or major surgery: Certain medications, especially those for acne, oral contraceptives, antidepressants, antibiotics and antifungal medicines, blood thinners, some cholesterol-lowering medicines and immunosuppressants are known to cause hair loss. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and major surgery can cause temporary hair loss. This should reverse when treatment is stopped. Poor nutrition: If you do not follow a healthy, well balanced diet, there are going to be a number of health consequences, one of which could be hair loss. Vitamin C helps hair remain healthy because it helps produce red blood cells that keep hair follicles blood-enriched and vital.
