Do You Realize Hair Fall Could Be A Serious Problem

Did you know that our hair is made up of protein called Keratin which is produced as Follicles in the outer layer of our skin. Follicles produce new hair cells and pushes old cells through the surface of our skin and this is how our hair grows. At anytime almost about 90% of hairs are growing on a person’s scalp. Every Follicle has its own life span. An average adult has nearly about 100,000 to 150,000 hair on their scalp. A normal person loses almost 100 hair per day, but if you are experiencing too much of hair-fall, then it’s time for you to take some serious action.

Hair- fall could be categorized into six different types:

• Involutional alopecia- It is a natural condition in which the person loses hair with age. The hair follicles slows down its pace of producing keratin, hence leading to shorter and fewer hair.

• Androgenic alopecia- It is a genetic which can affect both men and women. Men suffer, male pattern baldness, which could be experienced at ealy stages of life like experiencing hair loss at the age of 20. It becomes noticeable by a receding hairline and disappearance of hair from the crown and frontal scalp. Women in this condition suffer, female pattern baldness, which is not prominent till the age of 40 or later. Women experience normal thinning over the entire scalp, with an extensive hair loss at the crown.

• Alopecia areata - Occurs suddenly and creates patches on the scalp amongst children and young adults. This condition might lead to complete baldness (alopecia totalis). 

• Alopecia universalis- The person loses all the body hair, including the eyebrows, eyelashes, and pubic hair.

• Trichotillomania- It is a psychological disorder amongst children in which a person pulls out one's own hair.

• Telogen effluvium- It is a temporary hair loss over the scalp that occurs due to the change in the growth cycle of hair.

Causes of hair loss include:

• Heredity. When the hair loss is inherited by any one or both of your parents then it is called male-pattern or female-pattern hair loss.

• High level of stress which includes mental, physical stress after a surgery, illness, or high fever.

• Hair gets damaged if pulled back too tightly, wearing tight braids or ponytails, or using curling irons or dyes.

• Poor diet intake, especially if the person is deficient of protein or iron.

• Higher or lower levels of thyroid, such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

• A common cause amongst children is the Ringworm of the scalp.
