My dearn hair...don't go in such a hurry.

Have you ever had a problem where you comb your hair and it falls out in clumps? Or when you sweep the room and find nothing but hair everywhere? Or when you look in the mirror and feel a sense of loss... your hair part is getting wider every day! If you're experiencing these problems, don't panic, because today we're going to answer all your questions about "hair loss" completely.

Part 1

Let's get to know our "hair" better than ever.

Before we tackle hair loss, let's get to know our best friend on the scalp.

What kind of hair do you have?

Human hair can be divided into four main types based on the characteristics of the curls.

Straight hair (Type 1)

It is straight, without any curls, easy to style, shiny, but it is easy to get flat and limp.

Pros: Easy to style, naturally shiny hair.

Disadvantages: Hair gets oily quickly, looks flat and lacks volume.

Care: Use shampoo for oily hair. Wash hair frequently.

Wavy Hair (Type 2)

It has soft waves and more volume than straight hair, but tends to frizz easily in humid weather.

Pros: Natural volume, easy to style with curls.

Disadvantages: Easily frizzy, looks messy if not styled.

Care: Use a frizz control product.

Curly hair (Type 3)

The curls are clearly spiral like a spring. The hair looks thick and has volume but dries easily.

Pros: Thick, voluminous hair that can be styled with ease.

Disadvantages: Hair dries easily, has split ends, and is frizzy.

Care: Needs high moisture, use a rich conditioner.

Curly hair (Type 4)

Coiled into small, tight spring-like coils, unique but very fragile and dry.

Pros: Unique and distinctive.

Disadvantages: Dry and brittle, requires extra care.

Care: Use intensive care products. Avoid heat.

Part 2

"Hair loss" is a warning sign that needs attention.

Normally, we lose about 50-100 strands of hair per day. This is considered normal. However, if your hair falls out in an unusually large amount, it could be a sign of a problem.

What exactly causes hair loss?

🧬

congenital

A classic cause that is passed down through family lines: if someone in your family has a history of thinning hair or baldness, you are at higher risk too.

⚖️

Hormonal changes

Whether it's during adolescence, pregnancy, postpartum, or menopause, hormonal changes can cause temporary hair loss.

😰

stress

When the body and mind are under extreme stress, it can cause the hair cycle to become disrupted and hair loss to occur more than usual.

🥗

Malnutrition

Wrong diet or not eating all 5 food groups, especially lacking protein, iron, and zinc.

🏥

Diseases

Certain diseases, such as thyroid disease, autoimmune diseases, or alopecia areata, can also cause hair loss.

💊

Side effects of medication

Certain medications, such as chemotherapy, blood pressure medications, or some acne medications, can cause hair loss.

Restore beautiful hair! How to deal with hair loss problems

Now that you know the cause, it's time to take action! There are many ways to treat hair loss, from self-care to seeing a professional.

Stop hair loss easily by yourself

1. Adjust your diet

Focus on eating foods that are high in protein (meat, eggs, nuts), iron (liver, green vegetables), zinc (oysters, pumpkin seeds) and various vitamins.

2. Reduce stress

Take time to relax, exercise, or do activities you enjoy to help your body and mind relax.

3. Gentle hair care

Avoid using high heat, don't tie your hair too tightly, and choose products that are suitable for your hair and scalp condition.

When should you see a doctor?

If you've tried basic self-care and your symptoms haven't improved, or your hair loss is severe enough to cause concern, consult a skin and hair specialist to diagnose the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.

1. Topical medications such as Minoxidil can help stimulate hair regrowth.

2. Oral medications such as Finasteride block hormones that cause hair loss.

3. Injections: Steroid or PRP injections to the scalp.
