Causes of Rapid Hair Lose

 

There are many causes of hair lose. It may have the deficiency of Vitamins and Minerals in our body. The description of Vitamins and their function has been discussed below.

 

Vitamin A — a deficiency can create a hardened, thick scalp skin that produces buildup of oil and perspiration below the surface of the skin, with dry hair and flaking dandruff the result. Vitamin A is found in yellow, orange, and dark leafy vegetables.

Vitamin B — A deficiency of B vitamins can create an excessively oily scalp, oily dandruff, baldness, and premature graying. Vitamin B is found in whole grains, beans, seeds, and vegetables.

Vitamin C — Plays a key role in Collagen formation and improves scalp circulation.

Vitamin E — A deficiency symptoms include hair loss and brittle hair. Supplementation with E can improve circulation in the scalp by increasing oxygen uptake.

Minerals — a deficiency in the wide range of minerals, which are vital to healthy hair and skin, can adversely affect the structural makeup of the hair as well as the formation of collagen, the connective tissue found in the skin and throughout the body. Your hair’s roots must receive proper mineral nourishment in order to perform the function of growing and maintaining a healthy head of hair. Once denied these nutrients, the scalp tissues begin to break down, and hair loss results. An example of some of these minerals is Iodine, Zinc, sulfur, Potassium, Iron, and Silica.

 

Temporary Causes of Rapid Hair Lose

 

Ø      Physical stress: surgery, illness, anemia, rapid weight change. The hair loss usually occurs 3 months after the event that caused it and may take 3 months after the event ends to resume.

Ø      Emotional stress: mental illness, death of a family member. Again, the hair loss usually occurs 3 months after the event that caused it and may take 3 months after the event ends to resume.

Ø      Thyroid abnormalities.

Ø      Medications: High does of Vitamin A — Blood pressure medications — Gout medications.

Ø      Hormonal causes: pregnancy or birth control pills. Hair loss frequently occurs when the body’s hormonal levels are noticeable altered. This can occur due to pregnancy, or going on or off birth control pills. This type of hair loss is usually temporary.

Ø      Diet: Women appear to be more subject to hair loss due to dietary reasons than men. Low iron levels are the most common dietary reason women experience hair loss, although other vitamins and minerals may be involved. Also, the intake of a diet high in animal fat directly leads to the increased incidence of balding because the higher levels of animal fat cause the oil glands in the hair follicles to grow, leading to more DHT production and therefore more damage to the hair follicles.

Ø      Hair shaft breakage is when part of a hair breaks off, but the growing end remains in the follicle and continues to grow. Hair shaft breakage results in thinner hair, and can be caused by excessive styling, chemicals, sun, and chlorine in swimming pools.

Ø      If your hair loss is due to a short-term event such as stress, pregnancy, and the taking of certain medications in these situations, hair will grow back when the event has passed. Substances (including hormones), medications, and diseases can cause a change in the hair growth and shedding phases and in their durations. When this happens, synchronous growth and shedding occur. Once the cause is dealt with, hairs go back to their random pattern of growth and shedding, and your hair loss problem stops.

 

Tips for Hair Care:

 

o        Scalp Massage with a natural oil helps stimulate circulation of the scalp and remove dead skin and deposits that may get in the way of healthy hair growth and the health of the follicles which actually are the gateway to healthy growth and maintenance. Every time you wash your hair, be sure to massage the scalp as well.

o        Steering clear of the Western diet is one of the best ways to avoid and defend against baldness. By introducing low-fat protein sources, such as non-fatty fish, chicken, turkey, and soy products as well as complex carbohydrates from fruits, vegetables, and beans, into a diet rich in fatty acids can be effective in helping control hair loss. By utilizing a healthy diet in tandem with drug and herbal therapies, individuals can greatly increase the odds of their success.

o          Eat sizeable portions of fruits, vegetables, and beans. Don’t emphasize potatoes, pasta, and bread. These foods quickly turn to glucose, spinning insulin levels out of control as blood sugar levels rise rapidly and fall just as quickly. This compromises the body’s ability to regulate hormone levels in the blood. Such foods should be kept to a minimum.

o        Massage into the scalp and hair honey with egg yolk. Leave for a 1/2 hour, then rinse.

o        Massage almond oil on scalp 2-3 times a day, daily. This will stop further hair loss.

o        Mix equal amount of warm castor and almond oil and massage over scalp at least once a week.

o        Make a hair pack by mixing amla (Indian goose berry) powder with one egg. Apply it to your hair and leave for half an hour. Wash hair.

o        Apply a paste of hot olive oil, honey, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder before bath and keep for 15 minutes.

o        Drink a smoothie of banana, honey, yogurt, and skim milk.

o        To remove copper deficiency, drink juice of carrot, lettuce, capcicum and fresh alfalfa. This is good remedy for gray hair and hair loss.
