Why People Lose Hair

By: Legacy Hair Center Do you find strands of hair clinging to your comb, or collecting in your bathroom drain? Don't be alarmed . Most of the time, it's just your hair going through its normal stage of shedding. On the average, you lose 50 to 100 strands of hair each day. Shed hair is replaced by new hair, and the hair growth cycle starts over. However, if you notice your hair thinning or falling out excessively , you may need to seek professional help to avert baldness, or alopecia. Alopecia can affect anyone. And- it’s not always determined by “the mothers genetics”. Truth is, there are several causes of alopecia. Let us take a look at a few reasons why people lose hair. The most common cause of baldness in both men and women is androgenetic alopecia or pattern baldness. This is caused by increased levels of androgens or male hormones. It may be hereditary.

Baldness Cure For Men

By: John Z. Are you a man who is looking for the best baldness cure ? First thing first – you have to start with understanding the cause for your baldness.

Male pattern baldness is hair loss which is a result of genetic sensitivity to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (“DHT”). This is also the main cause in women. Your genetics (meaning your heredity) determines if your hair follicles are sensitive to DHT. 8 out of 10 men and 4 out of 10 women will suffer form pattern baldness during their lifetime as they carry the genetic sensitivity plus high levels of DHT (in women this is relevant mostly starting middle-age). Your doctor can diagnose your hair loss cause, and recommend a baldness cure that is effective against pattern blandness. The most important thing is that once you notice thinning hair – rush to your doctor for advice and baldness treatment , the sooner – the be

The Causes of Hair Loss in Women

By: Endah Purwani You're not alone if you're experiencing breakage, increased hair shedding or significant hair loss. Hair loss in women is most often very gradual and is more easily affected by hormonal changes, medical conditions, and external factors. Hair loss in women is no less distressing than in men. More often women s hair loss is limited to the thinning of the hair especially around the crown area. A receding hair line is rare in women. It usually starts with the hair follicle becoming thinner, revealing more skin. Hair loss or hair shedding is consistent within the hair growth cycle and it is normal to lose some scalp hair each day. The average human scalp has roughly 100,000 to 150,000 individual hairs and the normal hair growth cycle results in the loosening or shedding of about 100 to 150 hairs on a daily basis. New hair growth then emerges from these same previous dormant hair follicles, growing at the average rate of about half an inch per month. Baldness or Al

Alopecia Areata

By: naturalremedies Alopecia Areata is a disease that causes hair loss. It usually affects the scalp, but can also affect other areas of the body that have hair. The hair loss is quite rapid, and occurs in patches. Alopecia Areata (AA) is common form of hair loss, unpredictable and not painful disease. Usually people who suffer this disease are losing their hair in small, round patches from areas of the body, usually the scalp. Alopecia Areata usually affects younger women and children. This condition has unknown causes, although in some cases, it happens because of the body's auto-immune response to form white cells and the hair follicles on the areas where the hair is commonly produced are attacked. A distinguishable polished area of the scalp that feels silky smooth commonly becomes noticeable. And the hairs that surround the bald areas are thin and break off easily. These may be extremely fine and the entire shaft of hair would resemble an exclamation mark. Causes of Alopecia

In clinical studies, hair count increased during the first year and was maintained in those that took Propecia for 24 months.

Stop Female Hair Loss

Combat Female Hair Loss By: Andrew Skipper “Oh no!” thought Dorothy when one day while nursing her baby, she found that she had left behind a whole lot of hair on her pillow. She was shocked.

Receding Hairline

Last time before I suffered hair thinning and hair loss problem, I thought my manager's hair was quite well-combed. However I was wrong, he did not even gelled his hair. His hair has simply drop and drop so that it was then no longer able for him to comb. As a result of hair loss, there were no more volume of hair for him to comb using water or gel and hence he did not comb his hair at all. With his little hair, his hair still looked pretty decent and well-cut. However, for hair loss sufferers, many of us believe that hair loss would cause a bald patch at the top or side of hair. This is not the case solely. If you suffer hair loss, you will find your hairline receding too! What do I mean by that? Well our hair also covers some parts of our top of the face near our wrinkle areas. If you are losing hair, over time, you will find the sides of your hair receding up, followed by the top. These will soon meet the 'O' shape balding at the top of the scalp, forming a 'M' p
