Natural Healing For Hair Loss
Healthy
hair is the body's most beautiful ornament but hair loss and related problems could
quickly and easily ruin it. Hair is
a non-living tissue, made up mainly of a fibrous proteins called keratin - the same
material found in your fingernails and toenails. The
living part of the hair is below the surface of the scalp, called follicle, which supplies
these dead cells to keep our mane flowing. At the base of the follicle is a cluster of
living cells called the papilla, which eventually forms hair. Next to the follicle is the
sebaceous gland that actually keeps the hair shiny and looking vibrant. Excessive sebum
activity can make hair unduly oily while lack of sebum activity can make it dry and
lifeless. The
health of your hair requires a plentiful supply of nutrient-rich blood to nourish the hair
follicles in the scalp, from which new hair sprouts. On average, hair grows about half an
inch a month. Hair loss can be
triggered off by various reasons, internal diseases, reaction to drugs, dietary
deficiencies, scalp diseases, menopause, childbirth, are common causes, which lead to a
loss of essential nutrients and minerals from the scalp. Another cause of hair loss that
is usually overlooked is hair damage. Excessive stretching and tugging with hard combs and
styling appliances, exposure to extreme heat, regular use of rollers and blow drying,
perming and colouring lead to this problem. How
female-pattern hair loss is different from male-pattern hair loss Alopecia is the
medical term for hair loss or baldness in an area of the body where hair is normally
present. Usually, it refers to loss of scalp hair. Two patterns of hair loss are
female-pattern baldness (general thinning with moderate loss at the hair line and crown)
and male-pattern baldness (receding hair line with moderate to extensive loss at the
crown). In males, hair loss occurs in a typical pattern with thinning and then bald spots from the forehead area and on top of the head. This type of balding usually starts at the temples and then will gradually recede to form an "M" shape on the head. The hair on the top of the head will start to thin out. Over time, the male is left with a horseshoe-shaped pattern of hair around his head. The hair that remains in the balding areas starts out as long, thick, and pigmented and changes into fine, unpigmented sprouts that grow at a slower rate. If a man begins losing his hair during his mid-teen years, there is a good chance he will become completely bald on top of his head. In female pattern
hair loss, when the affected hair is shed, the root grows one in its place that is
shorter. Eventually it becomes an invisible "peach fuzz". Genetically, hair loss
can come from either parent's side of the family. Female pattern hair loss may begin as
early as puberty. In these cases if there are signs of hormone imbalance, such as excess
facial or body hair, a hormone evaluation should be done. Hormonal changes are a common
cause of female hair loss.
Hair Loss Types Medically, hair
loss falls into several categories, including: Androgenic Alopecia In men, hair loss
may follow the typical "male" pattern. This is the most common type of hair
loss, and it can begin at any time in a man's life, even during his teen years.
Quite similarly, most women will develop at least mild female pattern alopecia. It is caused by heredity, hormones, and age. The process of hair loss can begin, for some
individuals, as soon as in their teens, while others begin to notice thinning hair in
their 20s or 30s, or even later in life. Alopecia Areata Alopecia areata
results in the appearance of roughly circular bald patches on the scalp. The skin in the
affected area is smooth and soft and has no hair at all. Hair loss is sudden,
sometimes even overnight. Alopecia areata may be no more than a few bald patches that
appear and then regrow hair. If the patches are small, the chances of regrowth are very
good.
Diffuse alopecia
areata leads to sudden thinning without the bald patches. This condition is far less
common than the bald patches described above. Telogen
Effluvium This is a
generalized, diffuse hair loss that happens 2 to 3 months after a major body stress, such
as a prolonged high fever, major surgery, or serious infection. It may also happen after a
sudden change in hormone levels, especially in women after childbirth.
Drug Side Effects Certain medications
have hair loss as annoying side effect, especially medications such as: lithium; beta
blockers; the "blood-thinners", warfarin and heparin; amphetamines; levodopa,
and other drugs. Daunorubicin, and other medicines used in cancer chemotherapy, can also
cause sudden generalized hair loss. Symptom of a
Medical Illness Hair loss can be
one of the symptoms of a medical illness, such as: lupus erythematosus; syphilis; a
thyroid disorder ; sex hormone imbalance; sarcoidosis; or a serious nutritional problem,
especially a deficiency of protein, iron, zinc, or biotin. These deficiencies are not
uncommon in women on weight loss diets or those who have very heavy menstrual flow.
Tinea Capitis Fungal infection of
the scalp. This form of patchy hair loss happens when the scalp is infected by the fungus
Trichophyton tonsurans. This causes the hair to break off right at the scalp surface and
the causes the scalp to flake or become scaly.
Traumatic Alopecia This man-made form
of hair loss is caused by hairdressing techniques that do one of the following : pull the
hair (tight braiding or corn-rowing); expose hair to extreme heat and twisting (curling
iron or hot rollers); or damage the hair with strong chemicals (bleaching, hair coloring,
permanent waves). Taking good care of
your hair will reap its own rewards, remember, hair is like your fingernails and it must
be treated gently if you want it to stick around. The
herbs used in this formulation are chosen as
they have a history of promoting healthy hair growth, preventing the shedding of hair,
restoring hair on balding areas and possessing a nervine quality. These herbs then promote
healthy nerve life.

improper care and damage. If you over color your hair, over style it, or abuse it with
irons and blow dryers too often, you could be in line for some major fall out. Hair
shouldn’t be colored any more often than every six to eight weeks and you should
avoid it altogether if possible. While hair coloring doesn’t make everyone’s
hair fall out, it does do damage and you will have healthier hair if you don’t color
it. Try not to stretch your hair into styles that require a lot of pulling like ponytails
and braids and don’t pull on it when you brush it.

Lee Cheng Lai, Joo Chiat Lane My hair had always been
so important to me and when it started becoming thinner and finer, I felt thoroughly
depressed. After 5 months of applying the hair recovery cream I am please with the
results. There
is a thickening of hair in the thinning areas. There is just no way to
adequately explain how much better I feel.
Desiree Lim Eng Hua, 33,
Telok Blangah Drive I am in my early 30s. My hair started shedding quite drastically 2 months ago. I came across your website and saw this hair recovery cream. I can really see the difference it makes to my hair after six months of use of the hair treatment product. I can see fine strands sprouting out from where my hair was thin before. And I see less hair coming off when I comb or wash my hair. I have since continued using this product as a preventive measure. Many thanks!
