What are the basic hair facts?
No matter what type of hairstyle you have the amount ofhairs on a healthy head are about 100,000. We have a dailyloss of hair of between 50-100 hairs daily. The hairs thatare grown on our head usually lasts up to 5 years beforethey shed and make room for new hairs to start the cycle allover again.
It's when this cycle is interrupted and new hairs are notformed, as well as more than 50-100 hairs are lost daily iswhen hair loss becomes more defined to us in a real personalway.
How to tell if you're in the initial stages of hair loss.
This is only a very basic test to see if you do have initialstages of hair loss. If you are starting to notice anunusual amount of hair loss after you shampoo or when youcomb your hair, try grabbing a small clump of your hair andstart pulling ever so gently. If more than six hairs comeout of your scalp you may want to investigate further intothe possibility of a hair loss situation.
Some basic reasons of hair loss.
If you do experience a clump of hair taken out then you haveto start asking yourself some questions. For instance, haveyou started taking any medication that might impeded thegrowth process of your hair? Am I under undue stress thatmight cause hair loss symptoms?Be advised that there is a reason for everything thathappens to you. You just have to find the root cause. Butthere is some exciting news on the horizon in identifyingthe cause of hair loss.
In 1998, researchers at Columbia University in New Yorkannounced the discovery of a gene that appears to be thepredominant factor for hair growth. They found the geneafter comparing the genes of hairless mice belonging to amutant breed and comparing the genes of other members ofthe same family who had lost all their hair. This discoveryis significant because this will help understand how thegrowth hair stages are formed and how baldness happens whichmay lead to effective treatment in the cure of hair loss.
So how is your belief barometer these days in the hair losscategory? I will list some common beliefs and give you someanswers that might astound you.
Can some hairstyles cause hair loss? Well of course it can,if you have a hairstyle that's so tight your hair can'tbreathe. I would say that if you want the latest hair styleat least save your hair for it.
