Many people are experiencing and will soon experience – hair loss
They use the only hair they have to spell out a distress signal
Don’t panic! Here are 5 aspects of hair loss for you.
1 .Take small pills by mouth
Hair loss is largely due to androgens. Androgens lead to shrinkage of hair follicles, hair becomes yellow, thin, and increasingly thin becomes milli hair.
Understand two points of knowledge.
There are two types of androgens, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. There is a 5α reductase enzyme that promotes the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. The main cause of hair follicle shrinkage is dihydrotestosterone.
There is an oral drug, finasteride, which can stop the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, but the total number of androgens will not change and the male characteristics will not change, but there is less dihydrotestosterone that causes hair loss. Therefore, it is widely used.
It is stated in the drug manual that about one percent of people will have reduced sexual function, decreased libido, and reduced time. Such side effects are rare, and even if they occur, they will recover after stopping the drug.
2, topical application of drugs
There is a drug called minoxidil, the original treatment of hypertension, later found in the hair loss area topical will stimulate the growth of hair follicles. The mechanism of this drug is not particularly clear, but it does have a role. In fact, there are quite a few drugs are first found to be clinically useful, but the medical mechanism is not understood, if you figure out, the treatment will be better.
So is it useful to apply ginger as is often said?
There is no clear medical recognition of which ingredient in ginger can promote hair follicle growth. Nor is there a clear clinical effect. The former medicine confirmed useful, just did not study to understand the mechanism; ginger is not yet clear that there are active ingredients inside.
3, sleep well, hair well
Can hair loss be prevented? No
Medically speaking, there are two kinds of hair loss. One is genetic, one is androgenic, both of which are not preventable, and are themselves a progressive disease. It is a progressive disease in itself, meaning that it is happening and will get worse and more pronounced.
But hair loss has many contributing factors, such as fatigue, late nights, mental stress, irregular diet and so on. If you often do this, the triggering factors will cause hair loss to advance or worsen.
That’s why we commonly see people who are engaged in IT and have irregular life losing their hair at a very young age. How to take care of your hair? Sleep well.
4, wash your hair well, hair well
Some people’s hair is not properly washed, sensitive scalp, and even acne, inflammation. Inflammation will stimulate the hair follicles to enter the resting phase, the hair will not grow temporarily. If the inflammation is severe, or even pus, it may destroy the hair follicle and the hair will never grow again. When we say wash your hair properly, we mean to keep your scalp and hair follicles in a healthy and vibrant state.
Does anti-hair loss shampoo work?
In fact, when you shampoo, the shampoo washes off on the scalp in a few minutes and does not remain on the scalp at all. Dermatology medications are directly smeared on the scalp and massaged for a few minutes to be absorbed and have a therapeutic effect.
5, hair transplant, the most direct way
The technology of hair transplant has been quite mature, take out your healthy and vibrant hair follicles and transplant them to the area of hair loss and thinning hair volume. Hairline receding, extensive hair loss, shedding, and even areas that do not grow hair due to scars can be planted with hair follicles to grow hair again.
The area where the hair follicles are taken, the follicles are picked at intervals and the hair in that area will only be thinned out a little and not visible. The area after the hair transplant, because it is your own hair follicles, grows normally and is no different from other hair.
Simply put, a hair transplant is a way for the doctor to redistribute your hair, tearing down a little bit of the hidden “east wall” to fill in the important and conspicuous “west wall”.
