To solve hair disorders, it is important to first understand the various aspects of each disorders.
Among commonly known conditions, alopecia is the most notorious.
Androgenic alopecia refers to hair fall caused by the miniaturisation of hair follicles due to the overproduction of hormones primarily testosterone and its active metabolite dihydrotestosterone.
Androgenic alopecia presents in distinct patterns in males and females.
In the male pattern, hair recedes from the front of the scalp while in female pattern, hair falls occurs primarily over the crown.
Another common form of alopecia is alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease in which multiple structures of the hair follicle are mistakenly antagonised by our own immune system during its growth phase, resulting in improper hair development.
Approximately 20% of sufferers have a family history of alopecia while in others, it may be triggered by a major life event.
Its effects manifest physically as patches on non-specific areas of the scalp.
Another hair ailment worthy of mention is telogen effluvium.
The telogen phase is when a small number of hair shafts are shed from the follicle.
However, during telogen effluvium, an increased proportion of hair follicles are forced into this phase, inducing excessive shedding of hair from the scalp.
It is important to establish that not all hair fall problems are attributed to genetic defects or complicated diseases.
Most of the time, hair falls into a detrimental state due to unhealthy habits and lifestyles that contribute to the degradation of the hair follicle and its associated structures.
For most of the disorders mentioned, modern medicine suggests a cocktail of drugs. However, in most cases the side effects are not mentioned.
This is why Neeta’s Herbal prefers using naturally occurring, non-synthetic ingredients to nurture and strengthen your hair.
Apart from hair care, Neeta’s Herbal also offers treatment for various skin problems.
Hair wigs, hair extensions and customised wigs are also available at its centres.
