What causes hair loss?
When you first begin losing hair, you might be quick to blame yourself. Perhaps you think it’s the new shampoo or hair product you’ve been using or even because you wore your favourite hat all the time this week.
Hair loss can result from several different causes. The most common cause is male pattern baldness (MPB). This is not because of any product or lifestyle decision but due to genetics – you might have inherited it from your parents. Aside from your genes, your hormones and environment also contribute to hair loss. Other factors for your hair loss problem may be due to the following reasons:
- Poor diet. Even if you seem to be getting away with eating anything and everything, if your hair starts thinning, it’s not a bad idea to look at your diet. Iron and protein are quite important in providing hair loss help in your body.[1]
- Testosterone and DHT. These are the major culprits of MPB,[2] and the conversion of testosterone to DHT is what makes your hair follicles weaker. DHT shrinks hair follicles and shortens the hair growth cycle, leading to significant hair loss.
- Smoking. Toxins in smoke can harm hair follicles and damage hormones.[3]This means that smokers are more at risk, and you might want to consider quitting if you notice your hair is beginning to go bald.
How to stop hair loss?
MPB is not curable, but several hair loss prevention techniques and balding treatment options are available. Hair needs adequate nutrients to prevent shedding, including proteins, vitamins, and minerals (zinc and iron). Make sure you get these through your diet and food or through additional supplements, such as hair growth vitamins, to keep your hair strong.
It is possible to be sceptical about using natural methods that increase scalp circulation and prevent hair loss before using them. Still, some people have experienced success using them. Some of these methods include scalp massages (which double as stress-reducers) and using saw palmetto.
Shampoos that contain essential nutrients also support healthy hair growth. Including them in medical hair loss treatments may increase their effectiveness. Investing in a good shampoo to wash your hair is a good idea since it energises the scalp and nourishes hair.
Last but not least, you can treat hair loss through medical means. As with all medicines, these are clinically proven to work, but they may have side effects that you should discuss with your doctor.
Minoxidil is commonly used to treat hair loss by spraying it directly onto the scalp and root of your hair. You may ask, ‘Does Minoxidil work?’ The short answer is that it works by increasing blood flow in your hair follicles, ultimately slowing down hair loss.[4] Other treatments that fall under this category are micro-needling for hair loss and surgical hair implants that function as a receding hairline treatment.
