IMPORTANT: ROOT CAUSES are complex and sometimes unexpected.
Therefore, after reading this page and comments, check out all the articles on the site. It will take you some time, but it’s better than going bald.

In general, every day we lose from several tens to hundreds of hairs, sometimes a little more, therefore, when we find another fallen hair on a pillow or clothes, we do not always attach great importance to this. “You need to“ drink vitamins ”, get enough sleep, lead a healthy lifestyle, make a good hair mask more often, and everything will pass,” we reassure ourselves …

But, unfortunately, for many women, the problem of hair loss imperceptibly turns into a real disaster, when only thin strands remain from luxurious hair. It is not for nothing that discussion of the painful problem of baldness is so popular on women’s forums now. Let’s try to understand this difficult topic at least a little, without advertising lies and myths.

1. Hidden health problems
Hair problems are evidence that something is wrong in the body. No wonder the beautiful actress Catherine Zeta-Jones declares that beautiful hair is inconceivable without good health: “If your hair has become dull and brittle, then thank them for warning you of danger.” What can we say about the abundant fallout! So do not rush to run to the cosmetics store and buy all kinds of products from hair loss and to improve hair growth, etc. – First of all, it is worth dealing with general health problems.

Of course, looking for a needle in a haystack will not be easy at all. But for starters, it would be nice to contact a therapist and pass all the basic tests. Among the main causes of hair loss are problems with the stomach and intestines, including dysbacteriosis. More serious deviations may await you at the level of the endocrine system. It is mandatory to check the thyroid gland and sex hormones. A hidden enemy can also be found in the field of gynecology – any infection in the body is ready to affect the density of your hair.

However, the cause of hair loss may be completely different, so read this article completely, carefully and thoughtfully.

2. Chronic or temporary hair loss?
There can be many reasons for severe hair loss. And you need to consider whether this disease is temporary or has already become chronic. The most common cause of hair loss in women is hormonal imbalances. It can be both diseases and the result of taking hormonal drugs, for example, contraceptives. Antibiotics, chemotherapy can also lead to hair loss. But in this case, as well as after pregnancy, the hair usually regenerates on its own.

Even the abuse of salty taste in the diet can cause alopecia areata and baldness, this has been noticed since ancient times.

3. Complete baldness?!
Hair loss can also be irreversible when the bulbs atrophy. Many women are faced with such a terrible problem as androgenetic alopecia. This terrible phrase can mean both serious hormonal changes in the body, and genetically determined hair loss and thinning. One thing pleases: baldness in women is not complete, unlike men. It is simply impossible to deal with this problem on your own – you need to see a doctor – just not the one that comes from the word “lie”.

4. Trichological approach
Doctors who treat hair are called trichologists. If earlier we knew nothing about such specialists, today women’s magazines are increasingly recommending that we turn to trichologists. How can these mysterious people help us, and can they?

Trichologists of a good clinic or laboratory will diagnose the condition of the hair, scalp, hair follicles. They will examine the hair and follicle under a microscope, measure the thickness of the hair, and outline the general situation of the hair to you. It is possible that you took care of your hair incorrectly and did not even think about what type of hair you have, the type of scalp and other important issues that can also indirectly affect hair loss.

Therefore, an examination by a good and honest trichologist can make your life much easier and give you a hint that it is better to choose from a wide range of hair loss and hair care products. But…

5. Trichological lies. “Trust but verify!”
Finding a good trichologist is not easy. Today, beauty is a business and a big money making industry, so many “specialists” unfortunately, they are only aimed at making a profit. As a result, you can be offered very expensive treatment, and even without guarantees, because they simply cannot be here.

Many clinics convince of the effectiveness of their methods of treating hair loss. These can be injections of vitamins into the scalp, massage, rubbing in lotions and special products.

All this is very expensive and often not very effective. It often turns out that the true problem of hair loss, as already noted, is something else entirely. A good specialist should, first of all, help you deal with your health, try to identify the cause, and send you for tests. Sometimes good specialists can be found at the department of dermatology of medical universities. And in any case, you should adopt a method such as head massage (taking into account contraindications) to improve blood flow to the hair. Works very strongly.

6. Seborrhea
One of the common causes of hair loss is scalp problems, namely seborrhea. Let’s try to figure out what kind of misfortune it is.

Seborrhea is a malfunction of the sebaceous glands, resulting in dandruff, oily scalp, flaking, itching, and even psoriasis. Seborrhea can be dry or oily, but both can lead to baldness, hair loss. If the pores become clogged, the bulb cannot function normally, and the hair slowly thins out. The cause of these troubles can be all the same problems in the body, but perhaps simply the wrong care of the hair. In any case, skin and hair care products should be changed.

At the same time, consider one simple recommendation: wash your hair with lukewarm water. Hot water can worsen the condition of the hair and eyesight. This also applies to an electric hair dryer: either do not use it, or keep it at a distance of 20 centimeters from your hair or more.

7. Don’t trust “magic” remedies
To date, in pharmacies you can find a huge amount of “miraculous” remedies that will “cure” us from everything in the world. However, before you listen to the advice of would-be pharmacists or advertisers and hastily buy “magic” shampoos and lotions, it’s better to do your own research. It makes sense to discuss the remedy you need with a doctor you trust.

In addition, it would be useful to ask about the benefits of a particular hair treatment for acquaintances, as well as look for information about the funds on the Internet and look at a couple of forums to read reviews and advice from associates in misfortune. In any case, no matter what you are offered, do not believe in “magic” means – try to analyze, look for information in different sources, since there is no shortage of them today. With some drugs sold in a pharmacy and actively advertised, you need to be especially careful!

These are products that contain minoxidil (or pinocidil and diazoxide) and can actually stimulate hair growth. However, with the discontinuation of the intake, the effect may be lost! In addition, the reaction of different people to such means is different. Someone’s hair begins to fall out even more … Thus, one must be very, very careful with “miraculous” remedies.

8. Lose weight and go bald?!
We all want to be slim like the girls on the cover of magazines, and even scary stories about the exhaustion of models do not always stop us on the path to the cherished thinness. However, do not forget that good hair is one of the main virtues of any beautiful woman, and if we embark on the path of starvation incorrectly, we risk losing this trump card.

Sharp weight loss, malnutrition – especially at a young age – all this simply cannot but affect the condition of the hair. Therefore, before going on a diet, it is better to consult a doctor, otherwise the results can be disastrous.

9. The most secret reason
No less harm to our hair causes stress. Depression, worries, a depressed state – all this can greatly affect the state of our hair. Sometimes we ourselves do not realize the connection between hair loss and misfortune, because the hair begins to fall out not immediately after the shock, but after a month or two or even later.

That is why, if you are faced with the problem of severe hair loss, first of all, sit down and think about what bad things have happened in your life over the past year. After all, no doctor can help you if you do not heal from spiritual wounds. How to be in this situation? It is worth taking seriously auto-training, yoga, sports, a healthy lifestyle, self-regulation. Learn to manage yourself and your emotions, then there will be no problems with appearance and health!
