Thicken and Stimulate Hair Growth With Natural Oils and Supplements

HAIR LOSS

The human scalp has between 100.000 and 350.000 hair follicles. These hair follicles undergo cyclical phases of growth and rest. Normally, we lose about 50-100 hairs daily.

Hair loss or baldness is referred to as alopecia. It becomes as if fewer hairs are produced after the old ones are shed.

By the age of 40 or so, the rate of hair growth slows down.

There are several types of hair loss, often classified by whether the loss is localized, if the hair loss is patchy or affects the entire scalp or if it affects large areas.

Alopecia areata: It is believed to be an autoimmune condition where hair falls out in patches. The hair loss may occur spontaneously and rarely leads to baldness.

Alopecia totalis: If the alopecia covers the entire scalp.

 Alopecia universalis: If alopecia spreads to the rest of the body including eyebrows, lashes, and beard.

Tinea capitis: It is a fungal infection of the scalp that tends to attack hair shafts and follicles leading to hair loss. It appears as bald spots with black dots where the hair has broken off.

Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA): It is more commonly called male pattern baldness. It is a less dramatic type of hair loss, common in men but it can also affect women. The presence of androgens is responsible for this condition. It generally occurs in men who have heredity to baldness. Men usually start losing hair on their foreheads.

Women can also have AGA commonly called female pattern baldness. Women tend to notice hair loss appearing on the top and crown of the scalp. It most often occurs after menopause.

Caution: Hair loss can be the first sign of a disease. About 30 diseases, including thyroid disease and anemia, cause hair loss. By treating the disease, hair loss often can be stopped or reversed.
