What should women do if they always lose their hair?

Do you know what to do if women are always losing hair? Do you know why women are always losing hair? I believe many female friends are troubled by this and don’t know why they are always losing hair. Do you often feel distressed when you wake up every morning and see clumps of hair on your pillow? Now let me tell you what to do if women always lose their hair. I hope that after my explanation, everyone will have their own opinion on this issue.

1. Definition of Female Hair Loss

The so-called female hair loss does not refer to the general term for hair loss suffered by all women, but specifically refers to the three main types of hair loss in women, namely, androgenic alopecia, postpartum alopecia and endocrine disorder alopecia. Alopecia areata in general women and trichotillomania in adolescent girls are not included. Female hair loss is closely related to the secretion of hormones in the body, so female hair loss also tends to be gradual, but it will accelerate during pregnancy and menopause. In addition, hair loss has a strong cyclicality and is greatly affected by hormone secretion and external factors. To this end, in order to understand the causes of female hair loss, we must have a deeper understanding of women's physiological characteristics and the secretion characteristics of sex hormones.

2. Causes of hair loss

Genetic factors: Hair loss is related to genetic factors. If parents have hair loss, it will often cause hair loss in their children as well. But this is not absolute, we can only say that the possibility is greater.

Nutritional imbalance: The growth and development of hair are closely related to protein, vitamins and minerals. When too much fat is consumed, it will also affect hair growth and even cause hair loss.

Endocrine disorders: Hair growth is closely related to endocrine. For example, lack of thyroid hormone can cause hair loss.

Overuse of the brain: People who overuse the brain cause the blood in the head to be concentrated mainly in the brain, which leads to a relative decrease in the blood flow to the scalp. If this continues for a long time, it will cause hair loss due to insufficient nutrition for the hair.

Use of birth control pills: Doctors say that birth control pills contain large amounts of estrogen and progesterone, so many women believe that taking certain birth control pills can make their hair darker and thicker. However, they don’t know that after women stop taking the pills, they often suffer from hair loss. The main reason is that they do not take vitamins at the same time. Taking vitamins at the same time can prevent hair loss in women.

Long-term computer use: For those who work with computers, facing the computer for a long time and highly concentrating their minds can cause hair secretion disorders, clogged hair follicles, insufficient nutrition supply to the hair, and eventually lead to hair loss. Therefore, it is recommended that female friends do not face the computer for a long time to prevent hair loss.

Excessive dieting for weight loss: With the advent of the "weight loss craze", many women are also facing the problem of hair loss. According to a Japanese statistic, about 1/4 of young women between the ages of 20 and 32 suffer from hair loss. For women who want to lose weight, often eating vegetarian food, such as vegetables, fruits and flour, etc., will lead to insufficient protein and trace elements and unbalanced nutrition, which leads to the so-called female hair loss.

3. Treatment of hair loss

It is better to treat hair loss as early as possible, that is, when the scalp starts to become oily, dandruff, itchy scalp, and hair starts to become thin, go to the hospital's dermatology department for diagnosis and treatment in time. These symptoms are relieved by taking medication, the hair growth period is no longer shortened, the hair follicles are no longer shrunk, and the hair will not continue to become thinner and fall out. According to TCM theory, hair is closely related to the liver and kidneys. The kidneys store essence and the liver governs blood, and their beauty is in the hair. If the liver and kidneys are deficient, the essence and blood will be insufficient, and the hair follicles will not get enough nutrition. In one case, the ability to synthesize melanin will be weakened, resulting in gray hair. On the contrary, if the liver and kidneys are strong, the hair will be thick and black. Therefore, if you want to eliminate the root cause, you must first strengthen the kidneys. This is the essence of Chinese medicine treatment. Take Yishen Shengfa Pills as an example. This medicine uses Chinese herbal ingredients such as Polygonum multiflorum, Astragalus membranaceus, Rehmannia glutinosa, and Cuscuta australis to nourish blood and promote body fluid, stop hair loss, promote hair growth, make hair thicker, and nourish the kidneys. It has no side effects and is easy to take.

IV. Precautions

Hair metabolism is divided into three periods: resting, growing and shedding, and normal hair loss is a natural manifestation of hair metabolism. It is normal for normal people to lose some hair every day. The main reasons for hair loss in summer may be hot weather, stressful work, spicy food, lack of adequate rest and sleep, and other bad living habits. In addition, incorrect methods of washing and combing hair are also causes of hair loss in summer. Of course, under normal circumstances, you can reduce hair loss. Generally speaking, patients with hair loss should pay attention to the following:

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 best choice is a boxwood comb or a boar bristle brush, which can not only remove dandruff and increase hair shine, but also massage the scalp and promote blood circulation.

2. Wash your hair frequently, with the best interval between washes being 2-5 days. While shampooing, you need to rub and massage at the same time, which can not only keep the scalp clean, but also invigorate the blood circulation of the scalp.

3. 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 lead a busy life but maintain adequate exercise, their hair will be shiny, black and full of vitality. For men, on the contrary, the more stressful their lives are and the busier their work is, the higher the chance of hair loss. Therefore, regularly taking deep breaths, taking walks, doing relaxation exercises, etc. can eliminate the mental fatigue of the day.

4. Be careful when blow-drying your hair when perming it. The heat from a hair dryer can reach 100 degrees, which can damage hair tissue and scalp, so avoid blow-drying your hair all the time. The number of perming should not be too many. Perming liquid has a great impact on the hair. Doing it too many times will seriously damage the hair.
