Do you often walk past the mirror to notice
your parting getting a little wider
or an alarming amount of hair clogging your drain after a shower
while there may be many remedies to choose from
we are here to help you identify the exact cause
that will help you fight hair fall
from its very roots
Before diving in it's important to know
that some amount of hair loss is completely normal
and is a part of the hair's natural growth cycle that happens
in three phases
The first stage is anagen which means
that a hair strand is actively growing and the time period for
this could be anywhere between two to eight years
The catagen period is where your hair has stopped growing
and it's preparing for the shedding
this lasts for about two weeks and three
percent of your hair is a part of this stage at any given time
The last is telogen where your hair follicle is completely at rest
and no growth happens
this lasts for around 100 days and accounts for up to eight percent
of your hair
Hair loss in women can be due to a
genetic condition known as female pattern hair loss or androgenic alopecia
where the top of the head starts widening
especially in your 40s or 50s
it can also be that the newer hair grows
much finer and thinner in comparison
frontal fibrosing alopecia
which is also a growing concern amongst women
today is when you notice hair loss
along the frontal or side scalp margin
this could result in a receding frontal hairline
The treatments include oral pills
steroid injections and growth tonics that are
best consulted by a trichologist
When the intake of certain vitamins or minerals drastically drops
it's then common for hair fall to occur
Low levels of vitamin d c iron zinc and biotin
leads to weak roots and even baldness
Apart from the hair falling, brittle nails weakness and fatigue
are common indicators of this deficiency
Once you're certain which of these you're deficient on
There are many supplements available
which need to be clubbed with nutritious food that will help you
with your hair growth over a period of time
Most of the time sudden and alarming hair loss
is a sign of an underlying medical issue
For example those with prolonged hypo or hypothyroidism
have scanty hair around the entire scalp
rather than certain areas like in the case of alopecia.
Those who have just delivered a baby
or are dealing with menopause might experience a high amount of
hair fall as well
Factors outside your body like using
harsh cleaners on a daily basis
exposure to heat pollution and heat tools
makes your hair weak and brittle
Hence if you are someone who experiences dryness and hair fall after a shower
opt for gentle and chemical free options
we hope this video has helped you identify the root cause of your hair
fall and also helped you treat it better
