Natural hair loss solutions
TODAY, society is under pressure to look good – thanks to the constant bombardment of images that depict celebrities in physical perfection.
But celebrities achieved such results from care and even progressive therapies. There are dedicated professionals who endeavour to aid such people in their pursuit of pristine hair and skin.
For most of us mere mortals, solving hair disorders is more important. And among the most common known conditions, is alopecia or hair loss.
Alopecia exists in a plethora of forms, for example, androgenic alopecia is caused by the miniaturisation of hair follicles due to the overproduction of hormones primarily testosterone and its active metabolite dihydrotestosterone.
Another common form is alopecia areata, considered an autoimmune disease whereby multiple structures of the hair follicle are mistakenly antagonised by our own immune system during its growth phase, resulting in improper hair development and show up as bald patches that appear on non-specific areas of the scalp.
A less common ailment is telogen effluvium. The telogen phase is a natural phase of the hair growth cycle in which a small number of hair shafts are shed from their follicle. Telogen effluvium, however forces an increased proportion of hair follicles to shed from their follicle, inducing excessive shedding.
But not all hair loss problems can be attributed to genetic defects or diseases.
Sometimes hair reaches a detrimental state due to unhealthy habits – excessive smoking and consumption of alcohol, having an imbalanced diet, irregular sleeping habits and a host of others can contribute to hair follicle degradation.
While there is a long list of villains that threaten the well-being of your hair, there are also methods to protect, prevent and cure.
Most of the mentioned diseases can be treated via modern medicine such as minoxidil, finasteride and a variety of corticosteroids. In most cases however, these tend to cause side effects such as depression, impotence, rashes, contact dermatitis, a suppressed immune system.
