What should girls do if they have hair loss?

Many people suffer from hair loss, especially female friends. Let us learn about what to do about hair loss in girls. There are many reasons for female hair loss. In addition to external factors, there are many internal factors. External factors include excessive pressure in life, improper washing and care products, and multiple perming and dyeing of hair. The internal factors are caused by certain diseases. Let’s take a closer look at the causes of hair loss in girls and what are the treatments.

1. Hair loss

Alopecia is the phenomenon of hair loss, which can be divided into physiological and pathological. Physiological hair loss refers to the normal loss of hair. Pathological hair loss refers to abnormal or excessive hair loss. With the increasing social pressure and the accelerated pace of life, the continuous deterioration of the environment, and the poor eating habits, our unhealthy and sub-healthy conditions are also increasing day by day, and the number of hair loss patients in China is increasing. Patients with hair loss should drink more raw water or eat foods rich in iron. Lean meat, egg whites, spinach, cabbage, celery, fruits, etc. are the best therapeutic foods. People with hair loss or baldness have hardened scalp. The above-mentioned foods can help soften the scalp.

2. Symptoms and Signs

The main symptoms of hair loss are greasy hair, as if rubbed with oil, burnt and fluffy hair, lack of luster, yellowish scales that are difficult to fall off, or grayish white scales flying around, and itching. If it is male hair loss, it is mainly on the front and top of the head. The hairline on the forehead and the temples move upward, the hair on the front and top of the head becomes sparse, yellow, and soft, and eventually the top of the forehead becomes bald or has some hair; female hair loss is on the top of the head, the hair becomes sparse, but it will not fall off completely in pieces.

First of all, we need to distinguish the types of hair loss. Generally, hair loss can be divided into two basic types: permanent hair loss caused by damaged hair follicles, and temporary hair loss caused by short-term damage to hair follicles. Permanent hair loss is the common male baldness. In some European countries, the male baldness rate is as high as 40%. The hair loss process of permanent hair loss (also known as male pattern baldness) occurs gradually. At the beginning, the hair edge on the forehead shrinks significantly and the hair on the top of the head is sparse. Then it gradually develops and finally develops to only a circle of sparse hair on the back and sides of the head. There are three main reasons for this: genetic factors, lack or imbalance of male hormones in the blood circulation; being too fat. In addition, scars left by various skin diseases or skin injuries, congenital hair stunting, and severe damage to hair follicles caused by chemicals or physical reasons can all cause permanent hair loss. Temporary hair loss is often caused by a high fever illness. However, X-rays, ingestion of metals (such as thallium, tin and arsenic) or drugs, malnutrition, certain inflammatory skin diseases, chronic wasting diseases, and endocrine disorders can also cause temporary hair loss.

Dafeixin (minoxidil solution) can enhance scalp blood circulation and promote hair regeneration. Long-term local use can stimulate hair growth in patients with male pattern baldness and alopecia areata.

6. What foods should I eat for hair loss?

1. You should drink more raw water or eat foods rich in iron. Lean meat, egg whites, spinach, cabbage, celery, fruits, etc. are the best therapeutic foods. People with hair loss or baldness have hardened scalp. The above-mentioned foods can help soften the scalp.

2. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits containing alkaline substances. One of the factors of hair loss and yellowing of hair is the presence of acidic toxins in the blood. This is caused by excessive physical and mental fatigue, and long-term excessive consumption of pure sugar and fat foods, which cause acidic toxins to be produced during the body's metabolism.

3. Replenish iodine. The luster of hair is related to the function of the thyroid gland. Iodine supplementation can enhance the secretory function of the thyroid gland and is beneficial to healthy hair. You can eat more foods such as kelp, seaweed, and oysters.

4. Supplement vitamin E. Vitamin E can resist hair aging, promote cell division and make hair grow. You can eat more fresh lettuce, cabbage, black sesame seeds, etc.

7. Don’t eat foods that cause hair loss

1. Tobacco, alcohol and spicy food, such as onion, garlic, leek, ginger, pepper, chili, cinnamon, etc.

2. Avoid greasy, hot foods (fatty meat, fried foods).

3. Avoid excessive consumption of sugary and fat-rich foods, such as liver, meat, onions and other acidic foods

4. The acidic substances in foods such as liver, meat, and onions can easily cause excessive acid toxins in the blood, so you should eat less of them.

8. Ten tips to prevent hair loss

1. Do not use nylon combs and hair brushes, because nylon combs and hair brushes are prone to generate static electricity, which will cause adverse stimulation to the hair and scalp. The most ideal thing is to use boxwood combs and boar bristle brushes, which can not only remove dandruff and increase hair luster, but also massage the scalp and promote blood circulation.

2. Wash your hair frequently. The best interval between washes is 2-5 days. Rub and massage your hair while washing, which can keep the scalp clean and invigorate the blood circulation of the scalp.

3. Do not use shampoos with strong degreasing or alkaline properties. These shampoos have strong degreasing and dehydrating properties, which can easily make the hair dry and cause scalp necrosis. You should choose a non-acidic natural shampoo that is non-irritating to the scalp and hair, or choose one according to your hair quality.

4. Quit smoking. Smoking will cause the capillaries in the scalp to shrink, thus affecting the development and growth of hair.

5. Drink in moderation. Liquor, especially hot liquor, will generate heat and moisture on the scalp, causing hair loss. Even beer and wine should be consumed in moderation. The liver should be allowed to "rest" for at least two days a week (i.e. stop drinking).

6. Eliminate mental depression. Unstable mental state and daily anxiety can lead to hair loss. The deeper the depression, the faster the hair loss. For women, if they have a busy life but maintain appropriate amount of exercise, their hair will be shiny, black and full of vitality. On the contrary, for men, the more stressful their life and the busier their work, the higher the chance of hair loss. Therefore, regular deep breathing, walking, and relaxation exercises can eliminate the mental fatigue of the day.

7. Be careful when blow-drying your hair after perming. The heat from a hair dryer can reach 100 degrees, which can damage hair tissue and scalp. Therefore, avoid blow-drying your hair too often. Perming your hair too many times should not be too frequent. Perming liquid also has a great impact on hair. Excessive use of perm solution can seriously damage the hair.

8. Eat more vegetables to prevent constipation. Eat more grains and fruits all year round. If you reduce your vegetable intake, it will easily cause constipation and "dirty the blood", affecting the quality of your hair. Hemorrhoids will also accelerate hair loss on the top of your head.

9. The air conditioning should be appropriate. The warm and humid wind and cold wind of the air conditioner can cause hair loss and gray hair. The air is too dry or too humid, which is not good for protecting hair.

10. Pay attention to the ventilation of hats and helmets. Hair cannot stand stuffiness and heat. People who wear hats and helmets will make their hair breathable for a long time, which can easily damage the hair. In particular, the pore muscles at the hairline that are compressed by the hat or helmet are prone to relaxation, causing hair loss. Therefore, the ventilation of hats and helmets should be improved, such as padding with hollow hat linings or adding small holes.

The above is all about what girls should do when they suffer from hair loss. If it is just normal hair loss, don’t worry, because the hair that falls off the hair follicles will grow immediately. This is why people lose hair every day but never become bald. However, if you lose a lot of hair every day, with more than a hundred strands of hair, it can be called hair loss, and this phenomenon needs treatment.
