Autumn, a season of hair loss, and hair is an important indicator of a person’s health status. Hair loss is a natural physiological phenomenon, not only related to the climate, but also to body conditioning. What should I do about hair loss?
Causes of hair loss
Hair follicle atrophy When the summer and autumn seasons change, the hair follicles suffer some damage due to the ultraviolet radiation and high temperature in summer. The temperature drops in autumn, and the humidity of the environment is low, the scalp is dry, the contraction of hair follicles on the scalp is accelerated, and the hair follicles that are undernourished or severely injured will cause atrophy, growing tiny hair or no hair, resulting in less and less hair, causing hair loss in severe cases.
Dry scalp Some friends will have hair loss as soon as the change of season exchange time. This is obviously related to this dry season. Because the climate is excessively dry will cause the body a lot of water evaporation, if not timely replenishment and moisturizing, hair loss symptoms will not be well improved.
Emotionally related to the autumn easy to lose hair and human emotions have a direct relationship, excessive brain, impatience, irritability, depression and other unstable emotions, will aggravate the phenomenon of hair loss in autumn.
The main component of malnutrition hair is a protein called fish prion, in which zinc, iron, copper and other trace elements, and vegetarian diet people only eat vegetables, fruits and flour, etc., protein and trace elements intake is insufficient, resulting in hair loss due to severe malnutrition.
Too greasy too spicy ingestion of excessive oily food, making the sebaceous glands secretion too vigorous and blocked. Eating something too spicy can cause dry hair. Eating too sweet will make bacteria multiply faster. This will all directly or indirectly harm the hair, and over time, the hair will keep falling out.
Long-term use of computers engaged in computer work is more people who lose hair. The reason is that these people use their brains for a long time, so that the excitability of the brain continues to increase, and the endocrine function related to hair growth is disturbed, so that the supply of nutrients to the hair is impaired, resulting in increased brittleness of the hair and easy to fall off.
Resting hair loss may occur 6 weeks to 3 months after pregnancy, major surgery, drastic weight loss, psychological stress, etc. Resting hair loss may occur. At its most severe, hair may fall out in large clumps when washing, doing or combing your hair. Resting hair loss may also be one of the side effects of medications such as antidepressants, beta-blockers, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Suggestion: If hair loss is due to medication, reduce the dose or change the medication, and if stress is causing hair loss, try to reduce anxiety.
Several misconceptions about hair loss
A. Washing your hair every day will cause hair loss? Truth: No.
It is normal to lose some hair when you wash your hair. Washing your hair itself will not cause more hair to fall out, it just allows the hair that has been “laid off” to leave your scalp.
Two, perm, dyeing will cause hair loss? Truth: No.
Regular perms and hair coloring will not directly cause hair loss nor will they aggravate it.
The head can be broken, but the hair must not be disordered. Dyeing and perming can not only make the whole person look more beautiful, but also reduce the embarrassment caused by thinning hair.
Three, shedding is the patent of men? Truth: No.
Unfortunately, men and women are equal in the matter of “shedding”, but it is more common in men.
When it comes to “equal hair loss for men and women”, we have to talk about seborrheic alopecia, also known as androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness for short).
Men: Androgenetic alopecia is more common in men, mainly manifesting as an upward shift of the hairline on the forehead, and later developing into baldness on the crown;
Women: Women also get it, and it accounts for more than half of female hair loss, mainly manifesting as hair loss on the crown and forehead, but the hairline is not affected.
Although androgens are surnamed “male”, they are found in both men and women, and they are associated with hair growth. Therefore, smart men and women are likely to be “topless”.
Four, too much oil on the scalp, will lead to hair loss? Truth: No.
You really can’t blame the scalp for oil …… believe it or not, many Indians who don’t lose their hair, their heads are also shiny with oil.
You must have such friends around you: scalp is always particularly oily, every day or two must be washed, dandruff in winter is quite obvious, love to lose hair.
In fact, the oil from the scalp comes from the sebaceous glands. The secretion function of sebaceous glands is mainly controlled by androgen (testosterone), but it is also affected by the environment, temperature, humidity, etc. For example, in summer, hair may be more easily greasy.
So, in short, greasy scalp is just a result like hair loss. “Oily scalp” and “hair loss” can appear together, one after the other, but there is no “because …… so ……” relationship between the two of them at all.
It is recommended that those who are prone to greasy scalp should increase the frequency of shampooing appropriately and enjoy the refreshment you deserve.
In addition, it should be stressed that the normal use of shampoo or conditioner will not affect the growth of hair follicles, and will not lead to hair loss, as long as the product is qualified, rest assured that the use of good.
Five, eat more black sesame, walnuts can “hair growth”? Truth: You can’t.
Want to rely on dietary supplements to grow hair? In fact, the effect is very little. The key also depends on what causes hair loss.
To answer this question, it depends on two aspects.
If it is pathological hair loss, you must receive regular treatment to have a certain effect, eating anything can only be an aid, whether or not it works is up to you;
If it is physiological hair loss, perhaps wait a bit, reduce stress will be good, want to eat something to promote hair growth, only a good wish, there is no use is also a matter of fate.

After shampooing your hair, you should towel dry your hair and then apply conditioner, otherwise the moisture will affect the absorption of the conditioner and weaken its effectiveness.
