Why our hair weakens

The loss of more than 150 hair habitually or 200 in seasons such as Autumn can reveal that our hair is under  a period of stress that leads to falling to abnormal levels, that is worth  checking  out by a physician.

One of the first  warning signals for those who suffer  from  hair loss is  hair weakening. It starts   with a thinning first and  with a subsequent fall that goes beyond the traditional regeneration process that occurs every six months in our scalp .

When the  hair follicles that we lose are not regenerated and  we notice that our hair  loses  volume,  does not look  healthy  and then, little by little, our scalp presents thinning hair,  by starting with areas such as the temples or the crown,  we will end up   showing bald patches in different areas of our head.

Since this can be a sign that you are suffering from alopecia or any other health problem that requires rapid intervention, it is necessary to consult  a hair specialist who can tell you  what is  happening and how to stop the fall.

Symptoms of an abnormal hair loss

-Every time we lose more hair when combing or  washing it and leave  more hair on the pillow.

-Hair is thinner than a few months ago

-Progressively our hair is  losing volume

-The receding hairlines are increasingly visible and our forehead  does not stop gaining space

The causes for which our hair weakens, as we have been repeating, are several:

-Genetic heritage

-Aging

-Hormonal changes

-Diseases

-Intake of foods that affect  blood flow or produce side effects on our skin

-Stress

-Diet  lacking in folic acid, vitamin A, B and C or Omega 3.

How to treat a hair fall

The options we have to try to improve our hair health and  to reverse our baldness are several.

Pharmacological treatments based on minoxidil and finasteride help improve blood flow and bring nutrients to the hair follicles. On the other hand we can resort to the intake of vitamin supplements that contain biotin, folic acid, vitamin B, cystine, zinc, brewer’s yeast,  linoleic acid or Omega 6 to revitalize our hair.

In addition to these treatments, we also find what is known as regenerative medicine such as that stimulate the production of  growth factors by oxygenating our blood and subsequently injecting it into the scalp in order  to recover damaged follicles and strengthen the rest. A treatment that every time is offering better results when we want  to recove our  hair.

Among other capillary regeneration techniques we can mention ozone therapy, mesotherapy or low frequency laser. However, none of them have managed to offer the results that are offered by the hair implant through micrografts, following the FUE technique. This is a method  that can offer  results for a lifetime and with a really low investment that makes it a solution for anyone who is being a victim of alopecia or has been bald because of it.
