To every problem there is a
solution.
Many people are scared to become bald, both
male and female.
Many of them worry when they see an amount of
hair in their basin after shampooing. But
as a matter of fact, our hair naturally loses
about 50-100 hairs. The hairs removed often
stays on our head. So when we take a shower we
see a lot of hair in the basin, truth is this
hair had been shed earlier.
It is really hard to tell if your hair is
starting to get thin. Bald spots may be one of
the signs but there is no assurance for it.
There is a way to find out if your hair is
starting to thin. The so-called “Tug test”,
using your thumb and index finger, hold about
15-20 strands of hair. Pull it firmly and
slowly. If more than 6 hairs were removed, you
can say it is starting to get thin.
Hair loss can be caused by heredity or major
illness. Hair loss is generally a major problem
for adults (elderly). But in some cases, teens
start to lose their hair too. It is a great
sign that there is something going wrong. Hair
loss in adolescence is caused by illness
or improper diet. Some hair loss is caused
by medical treatments, like chemotherapy.
Wearing hairstyles that pulls hair also causes
it, like braids, because there is tension on
it.
Losing hair is really a great worry especially
for teenagers that are concerned with their
appearance. The good news is, in adolescence
stage it is really seldom happening. Once
the causes of it are corrected, hair
usually grows back.
Here are common misconceptions people have
about hair loss. It is not true that when you
brush your hair about 100 times it will be
stimulated. It might only cause you hair
injury. Hairs really don’t breath. They get
their oxygen from our blood in our scalps. Our
hair will be damaged only because of wig or
caps if it is too tight. Frequent cleansing and
shampooing of hair is really not one cause of
hair falling. Most hairs that are being removed
by shampoo are the hairs that are already
fallen out. Protein-containing conditioners and
shampoos help our hair grow and nourished?
False. It only fills the surface of the hair
shaft. Making it thicker and much
smoother.
We must take care of our hair to prevent hair
loss, avoid too much style that would put
tension on it. Avoid unnecessary gadgets for
our hair to maintain its natural
beauty.
