Know Your Hair Cycle And How To Prevent Hair Loss!

By: david clark Home | Health-and-Fitness | Beauty


Hair loss is also medically known as alopecia is a state of having no hair, thinning hair or lacking hair where it commonly grows.

Today, some people revealed a lot of herbs claiming it will stop hair loss and enable hair to grow are on the market and have been discuss a lot on different articles. Let us know our hair cycle and what really causes hair loss and how can we stop it.

Hair Cycle or Hair Growth
Hair follicle is a small complicated organ which is part of your skin. Some of the important parts are: sebaceous gland, blood and lymph vessels and arrector pilli muscle.

†Sebaceous gland produces sebum that protects your hair from becoming dry and brittle. However, too much produce sebum can cause oily scalp.
†Blood and lymph vessels are the source of energy and nutrient for your skin and hair follicles.
†Arrector pilli muscle is a soft muscle that is attached to your hair follicle is responsible for making our hair strands up or raising the hair to catch the heat to keep you warm.

The hair grows for around 1,000 days and then rests for a period of 100 days. This â€Hair Cycle†varies between individuals and is influenced by age, diet and state of health. The old hair from the last â€Hair Cycle†may remain in the follicle and not be dislodged by daily hair care products, but it will be displaced by the new hair as it grows up the follicle. Hair length is controlled by the length of the growing phase which is Anagen.

The stronger the follicle the longer the hair will grow. Weak hair roots render the hair not only unable to grow longer; they are not able to hold on to the hair, Therefore they get detached. We all lose hair naturally every day. As long as new hair is produced at the same rate as those falling out, there will be no difference in the density of the hair. But if shedding is greater than production, hair loss ensues. Hair thickness varies between individuals. Some finer while others coarser. As we grow older, there is a tendency for our hair fibres to become finer and shorter over excessive cycles.

Hair grows from inside a hair bulb deep in a hair follicle (root). Mostly a few hair can grow from one follicle. Each hair grows for a few years. When one hair drops off, (50 †100 hair a day) a new hair should grow in its place. A good healthy follicle should reproduce hair by itself. This is the hair cycle.

Causes of Hair Loss
The follicle is hidden under the scalp. It is connected to the blood vessels and nerves and feeds through the dermal papilla. Stress and medication affects the health of the follicle. These are the other causes of hair loss: dietary deficiencies, crash dieting, high grade fever, anemia, blood loss, hormonal imbalance, pregnancy, skin disease and bacterial infections. Aside from this, if the dermal papilla is under-nourished by the blood vessels or stressed, it becomes too weak to support new hair growth. In other words, more hair seems to be lost without replacement, thus resulting hair-loss. Other kind reason of hair loss is genetic or hereditary hair condition. Some scientist and doctors are still not able to determine the causes to genetic hair condition but suspect that it has everything to do with the family’s blood makeup and diet habits.

Some people who experience hair loss had tried different ways to solve it but hair growth is somehow a problem for people with hair loss. Somewhat, thinning hair or alopecia is a condition that is caused by aging and also genetics. There are a lot of unknown reasons why hair loss is raising right now even on a very early age. It is important to remember that hair loss condition or scalp problem do not go away by themselves it needs abrupt solution to stop it. They can only worsen if left unattended. We advise anyone who has problems with their hair loss to act immediately to regain them.

Natural Products that Can Help
Prevention is better than cure, so better avoid shampoos and other hair products that will damage the hair follicles and contribute to hair loss. Commercially manufactured shampoos, conditioners, hair dyes and other hair care products that contain chemicals which can damage hair should be avoided. Always purchase gentle, organic, natural hair care products. You can also seek treatment to hair care centre that uses all natural herbs for their hair loss treatment and hair growth treatment to insure the safety of your hair.
