HAIR LOSS
Is Your Hair Loss The Result Of A Vitamin Deficiency? 
10 Nutrients Your Hair Can't Live Without

Good nutrition is vital for your body as a whole including your hair.  Your hair follicles produce new cells faster than any other part of your body, so taking adequate amounts of vitamins, proteins and minerals is essential for normal hair growth and healthy hair.  A vitamin deficiency can cause hair loss.  Unfortunately, a beautiful head of hair is not considered to be a survival necessity by your body which makes it first on the list of functions your body will eliminate in order to deliver nutrition to the more vital parts.  Since your hair demands a high concentration of nutrition and at the same time is  low on the scale of physiological priority, this means that your hair is extremely sensitive to your general health and eating habits.

Of course, the easiest way to ensure adequate nutrition for your hair is to properly nourish and maintain the health of your entire body. Eating a balanced diet which includes protein, vitamins and minerals in the correct proportions will help to ensure that your hair loss is not caused by a vitamin deficiency. During periods of stress or at times when your diet does not adequately provide enough nutrients for your hair, vitamins and mineral supplements are available as a way to supplement your food and provide nourishment to your body as well as your hair.

Which vitamins and nutrients are essential to hair growth and healthy hair? Protein is the most important since the hair is made of protein keratin.  Adequate levels of protein are required to maintain normal production of hair, but taking an excessive amount of protein will not help your hair to grow.  Instead, your body will use the excess protein to supply organs that are vital to your body before it will supply any nutrition to your hair.  Your hair will accept only what it needs but no more.

Vitamins are complex organic substances essential to sustaining human life.  Organic substances occur naturally in plants and animals. Vitamin A, the B-complex family of vitamins, and vitamin C are essential to hair production and health, but taking too much of these vitamins can exacerbate your hair loss condition and cause more problems with the health of your hair.  Vitamin A is essential to prevent blockage of the hair follicle, but too much of this vitamin can also cause hair loss.  Deficiency of any of the family of B vitamins can result in dandruff problems and lack of pigment, as well as other hair and scalp problems.  Lack of riboflavin or vitamin B-2 may cause the sebaceous glands to become enlarged causing more damage to the hair follicles.  Lack of Vitamin C can cause patchy hair loss resulting from a lack of blood flow to the capillaries that supply blood to hair follicles.

Minerals in trace amounts are essential to the health of the human body, including the hair.  Minerals are inorganic and are found in rocks and soil as well as in all living organisms.  Iron is the mineral necessary to transport oxygen throughout the body, but is often deficient in the average persons diet.  A severe shortage of iron or the inability to assimilate iron will result in anemia, which will cause a slowing of hair growth.  Sulphur is involved in the chemical bonding of the hair and gives the hair protein its strength.  Inadequate amounts of sulphur will weaken the hair strands. Copper compounds aid in forming keratin which gives the hair its texture. Copper also helps to manufacture pigments which produce color in the hair.  Zinc is necessary for keratin synthesis, as are calcium, chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel and selenium.

Your hair can tell you what is wrong in your body.

- If your hair is very brittle, you have not been getting optimal nutrition for a long time.
- If a woman gets bald spots on her temples, it could be early climax, dysmenorrheal and hormonal dysfunction.
- If you had light hair and it started getting dark fast, check your liver and gall bladder.
- If your hair got dark only on the roots, it could be a head skin disease.
- The cause of baldness could be rheumatism or gout.

Hair Loss Remedy - Easy and Effective Herbal Treatments 

A healthy body has healthy beautiful hair. Our hair is a reflection of our health.
At any given time, about 90 percent of the hair on the scalp is in its growing phase. This growing phase lasts for 2 to 6 years. Each hair grows approximately 1 centimetre per month during this phase. The rest, 10 % are in their resting phase. After 2 to 3 months, the resting hair falls out and new hair starts to grow in its place. It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of this cycle. However, some people may experience excessive hair loss, if more hairs enter the resting phase.

Some facts you need to know about hair loss:

• It is normal to lose 50-100 hairs from the head each day.

• Frequent shampooing does not lead to hair loss.

• Hats and wigs do not cause hair loss.

• The famous 100 strokes of the hair brush daily does not lead to healthy hair, but it definitely does improve blood circulation to the hair follicles.

• Some hairstyles, like braiding, tight ponytails can cause hair loss.

• Blow-drying can worsen hair loss.

• Scalp hair grows at a rate of about 1 cm a month.

• Each hair on the head grows for about 3-6 years before being shed.

What are the causes of hair loss?

- Stress – hair loss is temporary, but can trigger off a genetic hair loss in many people.

- Extensive use of birth control pills by women.

- Hormonal problems - Hair loss may also occur if male hormones (androgens) and the female hormones (estrogens) are imbalanced.

- Post delivery hormonal changes: Many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they've had a baby. This loss is also related to hormones.

- Nutritional deficiencies: A diet deficient in nutrients such as protein, iron, zinc deficiency is a main cause of falling hair. Excessive intake of tea, coffee, alcohol; and fried, oily, spicy, sour foods can reduce the nutrients reaching the hair follicles and may lead to hair loss.

- Drugs and medicines such as anticoagulants, chemotherapy drugs to treat cancer and antidepressants.

- Hereditary

- Infections of the scalp: Fungal infections of the scalp such as ringworm, or a sexually transmitted disease such as Treponema pallidum can cause hair loss.

- Any underlying disease: such as lupus, lichen planus or diabetes.

- Age: Hair loss is a common symptom of the ageing process. The age of onset varies from one individual to another.

- Physical and emotional stress

Is there any treatment for hair loss?

Depending on the type of hair loss, treatments are available. If the hair loss is drug related, the doctor might change the medication. Correct diagnosis along with treating an infection may help stop the hair loss. Correcting a hormone imbalance may also prevent further hair loss.

Treatment of hair loss -

- If loss of hair is due to a temporary situation such as drugs or deficiency of serum, iron, it will stop when the cause ends.

- Hair loss due to infection may require oral antibiotics or drug treatment.

- Finasteride is a prescription medication that is prescribed only for men.

- Well-chosen hairstyles often hide thinning hair and hair loss effectively. Wigs are recommended if hair loss is severe.

- Hair transplantation, hair weaving and hair bonding has improved dramatically over the last several years. If done meticulously, the result is extremely natural appearing.
