Hair treatment for thinning hair entails a little effort and patience to regrow the hair back normally if the problem is diagnosed at its early stage.

Here are some effective hair tips in preventing and stopping traction alopecia:

1. Switch to loose and gentle hairstyles that are not harsh for the hair follicles. Avoid tight hairstyles that put too much pressure on the roots because this will eventually cause the hair to break out.

2. Appreciate the natural beauty of your hair. Avoid overprocessing your hair with certain thermal or chemical treatments such as dyes, bleachers, straighteners, and the like. The harmful chemicals contained in these products can make hair fragile and weak.

Exploring the Stimulative Property of Laser Hair Regrowth Therapy

If you are balding, you probably have heard of this therapy already. Laser hair restoration therapy is the application of an artificial light source through manipulation to serve several therapeutic purposes including hair regrowth. It is considered a complementary treatment as it doesn’t remove the cause of the condition but only address its effects. However, its importance in preventing the course of alopecia is similar to that of treatments that act directly on the cause — which is why it’s called complementary, to begin with.

The cause of androgenetic alopecia is believed to be the build-up of a potent derivative of the male hormone testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). With genetic disposition, certain hair follicles in the scalp become sensitive to DHT formation since the latter blocks the supply of nutrients to the former. In this manner, the follicles shrink to inutility. Hair loss, then, occurs.

Common Hair Problems That Affect Hair Regrowth

Dandruff is a common scalp/hair problem that affects the hair regrowth process and eventually results to hair loss (medically known as alopecia). Triggered by a number of reasons including improper PH balance of the scalp, excessive skin cells, infection, poor diet, product build-up, stress, and too much shampooing, dandruff is perhaps the most common hair problem.

Dandruff is a condition wherein the skin cell turnover rate increases resulting in a disarrangement of the cells that build up on the scalp and then leads to flaking. The naturally occurring fungus on the scalp called Malassezia furfur is often blamed for causing the event.

Your hair thrives on the nourishment of B vitamins. These are instrumental in maintaining the health of your hair. Cucumbers, cauliflower, goat’s milk, onions, cabbage, cow’s milk, raspberries, halibut, oats, walnuts and strawberries are reliable sources of B vitamins.

The most famous of them is Biotin and its ability to prevent hair from falling out excessively. On the contrary, a dietary deficiency of biotin can result to severe cases of hair loss including hair on other parts of the body like eyebrows and eyelashes. Common food sources of this vitamin include romaine lettuce, carrots, almonds, Swiss chard, eggs and tomatoes.

Is your hair loss the cause of your low self-esteem? If so, then you must look for good hair loss treatments to help you regain your confidence along with regaining your luxurious head of healthy hair.

Hair loss in men occurs due to the buildup of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp which hinders hair regrowth. DHT is a derivative or by-product of testosterone combined with the enzyme 5-alpha reductase.

DHT’s primary function is to develop primary sex characteristics in males, while still in the embryo and then to later develop secondary sex characteristics during puberty. DHT then continues to play a major role in male sexual functions throughout life.

The Benefits and Limitations of Hair Loss Treatments

June 22nd, 2011 Marian

Scalp hair starts to thin out when more hair shafts are lost through daily shedding than the scalp is able to renew hair growth. About 40% of the bulk of scalp hair has to be lost before hair loss becomes obvious. Once alopecia is diagnosed, a vast number of hair loss treatments are available with their effective mechanisms as well as their limitations.

Oral and topical medications may stop further loss by dealing with the main cause which is dihydrotestosterone (DHT) or prevent hair loss from recurring. Certain medications even promise hair regrowth but these medications carry with them side effects that may be as bad as or even worse than hair loss itself.

What Is Traction Alopecia or Tension Hair Loss?

June 21st, 2011 Terry

Traction alopecia, also known as tension hair loss, is a type of alopecia caused by damage to the dermal papilla and hair follicle by repeated pulling over a long period. This type of alopecia is obviously manifested in people who style their hair tightly, who pull and exert great tension on the scalp, specifically on the hairline that results in the hair shaft to be crushed and ejected from the hair follicle.

Traction alopecia is predominantly occurring in African-American men and women who get hairstyles that are done too tightly. Asian women like the Japanese and Chinese are also bothered with this certain type of hair loss as they get to style their hair with extreme external forces due to traditional purposes. Hairstyles like cornrows, dreadlocks, ponytails, buns, braids, and hair weaves can inescapably cause traction alopecia in numerous women and is more apparent in children, teenagers, and younger adults.
