Following Step by Step Procedures Male Hair Loss Can be Prevented

Are you seeing a sudden influx of hair in the sink each morning after you combed your hair? Found hair strewn everywhere on the floor and furniture, and it’s not even your pet’s? If so, you might be facing a grave situation – you may be afflicted with male hair loss.

Most male hair loss stems from hereditary reasons which mean that you may have inherited this hair defect from either one of your parents. However, male hair loss can also be attributed to the fact that you are experiencing high levels of stress due to a serious sickness, major surgery or work related pressure. Changes in your hormone levels will also cause your hair to shed excessively. And sometimes, a portion of medicines ingested will result in hair thinning. Medicines such as anticoagulants, medical substances used in chemotherapy sessions as well as excessive Vitamin A can cause male hair loss if you are not careful. If you spot fungal infections upon your scalp, don’t take it too lightly and try to remedy the situation soon as you can to prevent early male hair loss.

There are certain ways to counter male hair loss and these steps are very easy to follow with a small amount of discipline. For instance, if you are blessed with a head full of thick lush hair, don’t be too harsh on it. Comb your hair and avoid brushing it especially if you’ve just come out of the shower as wet hair is more susceptible to breaking. Ensure your daily meals contain plenty of protein. This can be found in most dairy products like milk, cheese and eggs. Otherwise, if all else fails do seek alternatives in the form of hair replacement therapies and custom hair wigs.

The Internet is rife with several hair loss myths that need to be debunk so that male hair loss sufferers will not be compelled to trust these mistruths. For example, if you find yourself being afflicted with male hair loss, no amount of cutting or shaving your hair can make it grow back speedily. Hair that sits above your epidermis upon your head are dead by nature and will not be affected at all should you cut it. And the next time someone claims that the reason behind your male hair loss is due to reduced blood flow on your scalp, don’t be too trusting and buy the hair replacement products that he or she is bugging you to purchase.

Got Tangled, Matted or Dreadlocked Hair?

Old Cornrows, dry, un-combed hair and sew-in weaves get very tangled too.

Matted In Mexico

I had my hair braided while on vacation in Mexico.

After one month, I decided it was time for the braids to come out. Having never had my hair braided in the past, I was completely ignorant about what to do. After unwinding the braids, I figured I would just jump in the shower and wash my hair like normal.

What a HUGE mistake that was. Within 10 minutes of showering, my hair sprung up into a wild rats nest! I picked at it for about two hours. It only seemed to get worse. Although I am almost 40 years old, I called my mother nearly in tears. She came over and yanked and pulled for another two hours.

By the time she left, I had two humongous Knots on each side of my head…one about the size of a golf ball (and hard as a rock) and the other, like a flat matted pancake. The worst part was that I still had the top portion of my hair braided which there was no undoing until the knots just below the braided part were gone.....

Got Tangled, Matted or Dreadlocked Hair?

Severely Matted And Tangled Hair Have Become New Causes of Hair Loss And Baldness In Women.

For most women, severely tangled hair was not an issue of concern until they experienced hair loss and pre-mature balding.

"Women call us in fear, depressed with tears, self blame and loss of self esteem because they have been concealing knots or clumps of matted hair –i.e. ‘birds nest’ in their hair for weeks and they don’t want to go bald”

Internationally for most women hair represents a very essential part of their overall appearance. It is to be praised and emulated. But for an increasing number of women, unexpected hair loss and balding has been triggered early due to incidents with unsympathetically matted and tangled hair.

A Survey conducted by Optima Hair Specialists in Birmingham, UK has revealed that 47 per cent of hair loss sufferers would spend their life savings to regain a full head of hair. Also the survey revealed that 46 per cent of hair loss sufferers questioned started losing their hair between the ages of 18 and 25. 45 per cent of people stated that their social life has been severely damaged due to their hair loss and 72 per cent of sufferers say that they are often perceived as much older than they actually are.

Although matted or tangled hair can be caused by illnesses, hospitalizations, improper removal of braids, hair extensions, un-healthy hair maintenance, improper use of hair products as perms, dyes, gels, relaxers and sprays-women cannot allow their hair to remain in a matted/tangled state for too long.

When a women’s hair becomes seriously tangled or matted, they become so scared because they do not want to cut their hair. Unfortunately they allow their hair to stay this way for weeks at a time-only for their hair to get worse. This will begin to affect the hair follicles-which can lead to Alopecia.”

Alopecia areata is characterized by hair falling out, resulting in smooth, round patches on the scalp. In some cases, alopecia areata can cause the complete loss of scalp and body hair. The condition is most common in people under 30. Baldness occurs by a gradual shrinking of the follicle that produces the hair.

"It's easier to stop losing hair, than to replace hair that's gone," says Dr. Richard Strick, a dermatologist and UCLA clinical professor of dermatology. "Once the follicle has shut down it's difficult, sometimes impossible, to re-stimulate.""Women's hair loss is much more common than most people realize," according to Alan J. Bauman, M.D., a leading U.S. hair restoration physician. Women have a 35-percent chance of experiencing hair loss by age 50, but the condition can occur anytime after puberty.

According to Dr. Bauman of Bauman Medical Group in Boca Raton, Florida, a top U.S. expert on female hair loss who's treated hundreds of women over the last 10 years, the top seven health factors commonly associated with female hair loss are:

(1) MENOPAUSE - Hair thinning is a common complaint of women undergoing menopause. The condition coincides with a decrease in the production of estrogen and progesterone, the female sex hormones.

(2) POST-PREGNANCY - During pregnancy, a woman's hair grows faster and feels more luxurious thanks to increases in hormones which keep a higher than normal number follicles in a growth phase. However, after giving birth, the sudden drop in hormones often causes shedding and thinning as the ratio of growing/resting follicles returns to normal.

(3) CRASH DIETING - Unhealthy dieting and/or rapid weight loss may cause hair follicles to go into "shock," resulting in increased shedding and a loss of volume that may last for months - or, in some cases, indefinitely - even after a healthy diet is resumed.

(4) TRACTION ALOPECIA - Over time, certain hairstyles (e.g. tight braiding) and hair extensions can traumatize follicles and lead to permanent bald spots in the scalp, a condition known as "traction alopecia."

(5) TRICHOTILLOMANIA - Compulsive hair-pulling, or trichotillomania, can also lead to permanent bald spots in the scalp, eyebrows and eyelashes.

(6) PLASTIC SURGERY - Browlifts and facelifts can alter the appearance of the frontal hairline and may lead to both decreased hair density and scarring in those areas.

(7) STRESS - Severe emotional stress and trauma can also take a toll on the body, often leading to excessive shedding and thinning that can last for weeks.

The best way women can prevent tangled or matted hair is to change their natural hair care regimens even if they wear hairstyles that include added hair extensions.

However, we recommend that “as with almost any type of illness, hair loss and baldness can be prevented if resolved early enough."

Braids, Hair Extensions and Dreadlocks have become the latest trend in hair styling and growing in popularity. Improper removal of these hair styles have increased hair loss and hair thinning, according to Tangled Hair Techs of New York.

"Some hair extension, braid or dreadlock methods can last in the hair for 4 months, and up to two years. Clients try to remove these hairstyles with homemade remedies, which cause serious damage, hair loss, and in some cases severely tangled or matted hair.

Male Hair Loss: Getting the Facts Straight

We don't have to deny it. It's natural to be concerned about whether or not we will eventually lose our hair like some of the people we know. You may even already be showing some signs of male hair loss. Don't panic, your condition is probably normal and non-life threatening but you don't necessarily have to live with it.

Male Pattern Baldness

There are many kinds of hair loss conditions but it has been discovered that around 95% of hair loss conditions are categorized under androgenetic alopecia. We often think that male hair loss begins when a man reaches adulthood. It is possible however for some to begin having the condition during the teen years. The first sign of thinning and male hair loss is often observed in the temple areas. In time though, true male hair loss may eventually result in complete bald areas typically on the crown or top of the head.

Cause

Androgenetic comes from the two terms "andro" for hormones and "genetic" for genes. This means that most male hair loss cases can be inherited hormone initiated conditions. Men who suffer from hair loss actually inherit a certain sensitivity to the hormonal reactions that lead to male hair loss.

When the male hormone testosterone comes into contact with the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, the pattern of hair loss begins. Testosterone is then converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is DHT that gets into hair follicles and binds with receptors. It will then begin to hamper the function of hair follicles, causing them to shrink and preventing them from producing new healthy hair strands.

Common Treatments

The most effective kinds of treatment for male hair loss so far are surgical procedures. A surgeon may have to move some hair strands from a well covered area to the bald spot. Other procedures include reducing the bald scalp area or increasing the area of the scalp which still has hair. Depending on the kind of surgery you may have to undergo, your doctor may have to look into your suitability as a surgery candidate. Factors that may affect your suitability for male hair loss surgery include your age, type of hair and hair color.

Another option would be to take medications. A popular kind of medication blocks DHT or 5-alpha reductase. As some users would point out though, some medications may produce side effects and hair growth may not be so quick. The quality of hair growth is also not always as desired.

Alternative Treatment

The third alternative would be to take supplements. Men can now take natural, herbal supplements to promote hair growth. Natural products are a good choice if you do not want to spend too much on surgery or if you do not want to experience the side effects of medication. A lot of these natural products also function as DHT and enzyme blockers, thus effectively reducing male hair loss. Natural ingredients such as saw palmetto have been known as effective blockers. Another plus factor to natural supplementation is that you also get a lot of nourishment for your scalp and hair.

There is always hope for people suffering from male hair loss. It's just a matter of looking for the right product.
