Hair Loss - The Fight Continues

CEBU, Philippines - The battle to avoid hair loss is not confined to our time. In ancient Egypt, men used to rub fat from crocodiles, snakes, lions, and other animals on their head in hopes of preventing or treating hair loss. Julius Caesar and Napoleon also experienced hair loss and tried to conceal it by growing their hair long in the back and combing it forward over their heads. Today, this motivation to avoid balding is still evident.  

Understanding Hair Loss

The hair in your scalp goes through a hair growth cycle.  The Anagen phase where there is active hair growth.  Then the Catagen phase , the hair shaft becomes detached from the dermal papilla and moves and the hair follicle contracts and moves upwards.  The last stage is the Telogen phase also known as the resting phase, hair is shed and a new growing hair starts to form at the base of the hair follicle to enter into another hair growth cycle. Your hair in the scalp doesn’t go through the same cycle at the same time.  It is normal to shed 50 to 100 hair strands per day.  Beyond this number is considered excessive hair loss.

 Genetics plays a role in this condition, Hair loss may be experienced 3 to 4 months after an illness or surgery and this is usually temporary. Overactive or underactive thyroid gland as well as androgen or estrogen imbalance can cause hair loss.  Poor nutrition and crash dieting also cause hair fall because adequate protein, vitamins and minerals are essential for proper hair growth and healthy hair. Lastly, improper hair care and styling such as wearing your hair in pigtails, in cornrows or using tight hair rollers can cause traction which can eventually lead to scarring and later to permanent hair loss.
