All people of different walks of life have the same fear when it comes to their hair - HAIR LOSS.
Some are even paranoid enough to worry too much when they see hairs on their combs or hair brush.
The truth is, it is normal to lose hairs every day.
This is because the follicles produce new hair cells to replace the old ones.
So, when can we say that we already loss more hair than what we normally should? Basically, 50 to 100 strands are being lost each day, and any amount over that could mean that something is not normal at all.
Excessive loss is observable, like when you see hairs even in your pillows or on your clothes.
In medical terms, too much hair loss is called ALOPECIA.
Alopecia comes from a Greek word "alopex" which stands for "fox".
Foxes are fury, yet, they lose fur when they are infected with a skin disease called "mange".
Thus, when experts looked for fancier name than baldness, alopecia was used instead.
Alopecia has many kinds according to causes.
And this condition is said to be directly connected to stress that may be due to too much work, family problems, major diseases, or surgeries.
There are still other causes of hair loss such as hormonal, child birth, birth control, illnesses, and mechanical damage (like Trichotillomania or Hair Pulling, hair styling treatments, and hair braids/weaves).
How can we restore the normal state of our hair? There are a lot of ways to do this, both by synthetic drugs or hair transplant and by natural remedies.
You can also adjust your life style in order to compliment our desire to restore hair growth.
You can do this by balanced and healthy diet, using mild shampoos, and refrain using chemicals on your hair.
Homeopathic remedies are also available for this condition, such as rubbing fingernails of both hands on each other and sleeping without pillows.
There are also natural remedies that you can apply on your hair and scalp.
A good example is olive oil, which can be applied overnight and washed with mild shampoo afterwards.
The facts discussed above are only a few of the many things that you have to know about hair and hair loss.
Knowledge of this is a great help in taking care of your hair.
At times, ignorance about these facts can impede you to take prevention or to take quick action when there is a sign of hair problems.
