Hair Loss Treatment for Men & Women 2010

 

TRACTION ALOPECIA - HAIR LOSS & BRAIDING

 

It’s common for men and women of advancing age to experience hair loss. The process of hair loss is often gradual and not completely noticeable, until the strands fall in clumps and large areas begin to go bald.

 

Often, the onset of hair loss goes unnoticed because it is often difficult to discern between accelerated hair loss and the normal shedding of the human hair. Floating hairs on the bathroom floor are a common sight- but how do you determine when it’s actually the beginning of something else?

 

 

GENERAL CAUSES

 

Causes for accelerated hair loss can often be attributed to the usual factors, such as heredity, changes in hormonal levels and of course, the condition of alopecia. Let’s discuss these three, so you can determine for yourself what’s causing those tresses to fall.

 

1. Heredity- if your parents have had histories of hair loss, there just might be a chance that you’ve inherited the genetic trait for baldness. Baldness comes about during the thirties, and continues until well beyond retirement age. The good thing about it is you can care for your hair to slow down the natural shedding of the hair.

 

2. Hormonal levels- in some cases, shifts in hormonal levels contribute to hair loss. When you are subjected to undue stress and other similar situations, the body reacts in a variety of ways. Usual responses include sweaty palms, racing heart rates and yes, falling hair. If you think stress is the culprit, you know what to do.

 

3. Alopecia- if the factors above are not present and the hair fall exists alone as a sole condition of your scalp and skin, you are probably suffering specifically from alopecia. In any case, consulting with a doctor on how to strengthen your hair and scalp is necessary.

 

 

BRAIDING, WOMEN & TRACTION ALOPECIA

 

According to Dr. R. Martin Earles, a practicing dermatologist in Chicago, states that even women are suffering from hair loss, just like most men:

 

"It just has become rampant. I see as many as three to five women patients a day suffering from permanent hair loss. One of the culprits is very tight braids- they cause traction alopecia.”

 

Dr. Randy Smith, a specialist of hair loss specialist in Illinois explains the condition:

 

“Traction alopecia affects thousands of women each year. Continuous pulling of the hair that occurs from tight cornrows, braids, weaves, ponytails and curlers is often the culprit. If you have difficulty moving your forehead or experience headaches and scalp soreness, these may be signs that your hair is styled too tightly.”

 

“Over time, bald spots may develop along the hairline and above the ears. The hairline gradually recedes significantly. If the problem is not treated, a permanent condition called scarring alopecia may result.”

 

 

RECOMMENDATIONS

 

Poor diagnosis is bad for your scalp- go to a dermatologist early to avoid advance hair loss conditions like scarring alopecia. As much as possible, braiding should be avoided.

 

If you still want to style your hair in a similar manner, stick to loose styles that do not stress the hair and scalp. Never sacrifice your scalp; because in the end, it just might succumb to lasting damage.
