Hair follicles suffer the effects of damaging environmental factors which include chemicals, pollution, minerals, weather, sun exposure, hair care products and hair care treatments. Particles from air, chemicals and minerals in water can build up over time and damage hair. Scalp sunburn can cause irreversible damage to your hair follicles and cold/dry weather can make your hair brittle. Frequent use of hats and scarves can also cause friction and result in breakage of your hair strands. Chemicals that are used in household or hair care products such as benzene, formaldehyde, paraben, sulfites, and pesticides can also cause hair loss. We encounter many of these factors due to our lifestyle, job, living situation, and hygiene habits. Our bodies succumb to damage over time, which can lead to visible skin dryness and wrinkles, as well as thin and brittle hair.
When hair loss is caused by your genetics or heredity, it occurs in a predictable pattern often referred to as male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness. Men often experience an m-shaped recession at the front of your scalp and often starts in your 20s or 30s. Women experience hair loss after menopause in the Ludwig pattern, which is a gradual recession along the part of your hair. Androgenetic alopecia, the medical name for MPB and FPB, is the most common cause of hair loss. Genetics strongly influence hair loss, no matter your gender. The genetic component of balding can be associated with many different genes. Although genetic hair loss is permanent, topical, or oral medications, laser therapy, vitamins, exosome or stem cell injections and hair transplants or combination therapy can all be tailored to your hair loss needs.
Micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, play an important role in normal hair follicle development and immune cell function. Hair loss is a common problem in the dermatological community and has a profound negative psychological and emotional impact on patients. Deficiency of such micronutrients may represent a modifiable risk factor associated with the development, prevention, and treatment of alopecia. Some foods that support hair growth include eggs, spinach, soybeans, nuts, berries, fatty fish, and sweet potatoes due to being rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, and antioxidants. Vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Riboflavin, Biotin, Zinc, Selenium, and Ferritin are essential for overall health of skin and hair. Deficiency of such micronutrients may cause alopecia areata, premature graying, telogen effluvium but may represent a modifiable risk factor associated with the development, prevention, and treatment of alopecia.
Women commonly experience hair loss after menopause, childbirth, and pregnancy due to hormone changes. Both men and women may experience hair loss from changes in thyroid hormone levels. Drugs used to treat the following medical conditions may lead to hair loss such as depression, heart problems, gout, high blood pressure, cancer and arthritis. Discontinuing the use of birth control pills may also lead to temporary hair loss. Often this hair loss is temporary.
