Answering questions: What causes excessive hair loss?
Hair is something that many people pay special attention to because it is one of the essential elements of the face that helps enhance the appearance and personality. Therefore, it is very important to take care of and nourish your hair to keep it healthy at all times.
It is normal for hair to fall out every day naturally. However, when too may hairs fall out, it can be a sign of a worrying problem. What causes this problem? What are the ways to treat it? Namnin will help you clear your doubts.
What causes excessive hair loss?
The severity of hair loss varies from person to person. Normally, about 50-100 strands of human hair fall out each day, which is considered normal because there are up to 100,000 strands of hair on the head. Hair shedding is a natural process of hair growth cycle, the new hair replaces the gone one.
Unfortunately, as we age, the density of our hair decreases as well. As the hair's life cycle is shorter, hair falls out more frequently. The hair will gradually thin out and may no longer grow for replacement.
In addition, genetics is a common cause of hair loss. If most of members in the family have thinning hair, it can be passed on genetically as well. Other factors that cause hair loss are:
- Stress
- Pollution
- Illnesses such as scalp infections, diseases causing wounds on the scalp, and thyroid disease, etc.
- Surgery
- Hormonal changes such as pregnancy, postpartum condition, or menopause.
- Effects of medications used to treat cancer, depression, or high blood pressure.
- Crash diets
- Fever (High Temperature)
- Nutrient deficiency, such as iron or protein deficiency, etc.
When is it called “excessive hair loss”?
Each day, it is normal for hair to fall out, but the amount will be very small compared to the total amount of hair on the head. In most cases, women will have more hair loss than men, approximately 100-150 strands, depending on the condition of the hair and overall health.
For men, an average of 50-60 strands of hair will be lost each day. If it is more than this, you should notice that an abnormality is occurring. It is not necessary to count the exact number of hair strands, but you can observe it yourself by observing the amount of hair that falls when you wash and comb your hair, and those fall on your pillow or on the floor.
How can excessive hair loss be treated?
Hair loss is a problem that causes great concern, but there are possible ways to treat it as follows:
Taking vitamin supplements
The first method that can help treat hair loss is taking vitamin supplements. Whenever the body lacks certain nutrients that are necessary for the hair, it will cause the hair roots to become weak and easily fall out.
Namnin's hair nourishing vitamin, namely VITAMIN H, helps nourish the hair follicles so that there are sufficient nutrients for hair regeneration. Hair will be denser and stronger. VITAMIN H combines the benefits of:
- Extracts from brown rice and cactus help reduce oiliness and inflammation of the scalp
- Biotin helps strengthen hair
- Zinc Gluconate helps promote hair growth
- Iron Amino Acid Chelate helps reduce hair loss and add nutrients to feed the hair follicles
- Vitamin B Premix helps nourish hair to make it soft, smooth, and healthy.
All of these hair nourishing nutrients are already packed in VITAMIN H. Beautiful and healthy hair starts with strong hair roots.
Taking medicine as prescribed by the doctor
Another way, the most effective way, to treat and end the problem of excessive hair loss is to see a doctor to analyze the root cause of the problem and design the most appropriate treatment. The doctor will prescribe medication to reduce hair loss based on the symptoms and causes of hair loss. Doctors often prescribe both topical and oral medications, or additional procedures may be performed depending on the hair problem.
Hair nourishing treatment
Hair nourishing treatment is another method that can help treat hair loss as well. It helps stimulate the hair growth and also helps nourish and maintain existing hair to be stronger.
If you are looking for an effective hair nourishing treatment with satisfactory results, we’d like to recommend Namnin PHB treatment, a uniquely innovative hair root nourishing treatment.
PHB will stimulate the hair follicles for better hair growth from within and also help the hair follicles repair themselves and resume functional more efficiently.
Low Level Laser Therapy or LLLT is a form of medicine that applies low-level (low-power) lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to the surface of the scalp. It stimulates hair follicles and hair growth by boosting blood circulation to optimize the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles and improve the cell functionality.
Hair transplantationAnother sustainable way to deal with hair loss is hair transplantation. This method is very notable these days because its results can be seen distinctively. At Namnin, we are now offering a state-of-the-art hair transplant program, namely NEAT.
