People have always been passionately conscious about their hair. Hair is one’s glory and charm. Be it men or women—they dread hair loss. They use expensive brands of shampoos to prevent hair fall. Many follow time consuming regimens of oiling their hair or subjecting their head to tedious home remedies. Many get carried away with quick-fix claims of miracle hair formulas. Some get their heads shaved to stimulate hair growth.
There exists a general misconception that hair loss occurs when the blood supply to the head decreases.
However, scientific research reveals that the most common reason for hair loss is one’s genetic makeup. There exist many hormonal and genetic reasons, or diseases which may lead to premature and extensive hair loss.
The most common type of hair loss which affects 50% males and 50% females over the age of 40 is androgenetic alopecia, or the male-pattern baldness or female-pattern baldness.
It is caused by hormone levels in the body as well as depends on a genetic tendency to lose hair. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is synthesized in the body from the male hormones (androgens), possessed by men and women, by the action of the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. People possessing an excess of this enzyme create more DHT in their body which results in thinner hair produced by hair follicles so much so that hair eventually disappears.
Males lose hair in a semicircular pattern around their head; women’s hair thins with loss particularly over the top and sides of the head.
Alopecia areata is yet another important cause of hair loss which usually affects young adults of both genders wherein the hair follicles are attacked by white blood cells. This slows hair production drastically and there may be no visible hair growth for months or even years. An acute form of alopecia areata is the complete loss of scalp hair (alopecia totalis), the complete loss of all body hair (alopecia universalis).
A condition called telogen effluvium may occur in any age due to intense stress or medication and includes a shedding of hair around the scalp and elsewhere on the body. This phenomenon is associated with the growth cycles of hair. Hair growth cycles alternate between a growth phase (called anagen which lasts about three years) and a resting phase (telogen which lasts about three months). During telogen, the hair remains in the follicle until it is pushed out by the growth of a new hair in the anagen phase.
The onslaught of this condition is usually sudden and gets better within six months, but may end up becoming a chronic trouble.
Anagen Effluvium results in patchy loss of hair, which may aggravate to total hair loss. A chemical kills the hair follicle and anagen hair; a common example is that of drugs used to treat cancer.
