ALL ABOUT RECEDING HAIRLINE !!!

Receding hairline is a type of progressive hair loss mainly experienced by men and some women where your hairline will begin to thin commonly on either sides of your forehead before you get a bald patch on top of your head. It is one of the classes of hair loss in men, a condition popularly known as androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness. It is characterized by a widow's peak where your front forehead forms a V shape pattern.

Although the problem is common in older men (above 25 years of age), receding hairline can be seen in younger people including teenagers. If your hair line is receding at young age, it might be a pre-disposition to hair loss, which is caused by genetics or associated with a certain autoimmune response.Some signs of hair loss can be noticed, you will have hair loss above your temples that often form a letter M shape where the middle and side hairs remain while you lose lateral hairs on your forehead. This is the initial stage of receding hairline. With time, you will begin having hair loss on top of your head but this might depend on the causes of a receding hairline.

To some people, they need to tilt their head to be able to see their hairlines and in some extreme cases, it might form a horseshoe shape where your scalp center remains bare with only hair on the back and sides of your head. You will therefore notice pronounced and high temples when your hairline is receding.

Finally, when you are suffering from this condition, you will notice more hair collecting on your water tub, each time you wash your head. More hair can also be seen on your comb and hair brush. On average, people should lose up to 100 strands of hair every day during brushing, combing, etc. and this is considered normal.

What can be the causes ??

Genes – Inherited Factors

Excessive and Continued Production of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)

Age 

Environmental Factors – Stress

Medications and Chemotherapy

Poor Eating Habits

Can different hairstyles cause hair loss ???

Different hairstyles create some impact on your hairs. Hairstyling is the most cause of traction alopecia, it can also follow vigorous combing or brushing, including nit combing.Traction alopecia is the hair loss that occurs after persistent gentle pulling on the roots over several hours or days. 

Even tight ponytails can produce traction alopecia, In addition the tight curls affect how the hair is anchored into the follicle beneath the skin surface.  Hairstyles to control the curl such as braiding and straightening can also lead to mechanical forces being applied to the hair root which cause the hair bulb to gradually separate from the follicle. 

When hair is pulled back in a ponytail, the hairs at the margins of the scalp tend to receive the greatest tensile force and hair loss becomes most noticeable on the scalp margins and the outermost hairs of the braid.  These hairs are lost first, producing a receding hairline and widening of the part lines. Prolonged tension leads to inflammation around the hair follicles that may ultimately produce scarring and lead to permanent hair loss.

Traction eases hairs out of the follicle and patients in the early stages of androgenetic alopecia are more susceptible to traction alopecia.  

Ponytails produce frontal or parietal hair loss.  Tight braiding in cornrows produces a marginal or central alopecia with widening of the part lines.  Twisting hair into a bun on the top of the head can produce a horseshoe alopecia in the centre of the scalp.

People with traction alopecia should visit to the dermatologist for assessment, as many have associated early androgenetic alopecia which requires separate treatment.

Preventing and treating hair loss in females

Female-pattern hair loss, which usually has a strong genetic component that can be inherited from either the mother or father. Also referred to as androgenetic alopecia, this type of hair loss can start as early as the late teens- and the earlier it starts, the more severe the hair loss tends to be.

Most women with pattern hair loss don't get a receding hairline or bald spot on top of the scalp as is common in men. Instead, there is visible thinning over the crown. In men and women, hairs are miniaturized because of a shortened growth cycle where the hair stays on the head for a shorter period of time.

The first sign of hair loss that most women notice is often widening of their part or that their ponytail is smaller.

How this hair loss can be treated ???

Minoxidil 5% is the only topical medication approved by the FDA for female-pattern hair loss. The once daily use foam treatment regrows hair in 81% of the women who try it. 

Liquid options of 2% and 5% solutions are available over the counter. Minoxidil works by prolonging the growth phase of hair -- providing more time for hair to grow out to its full density.

Hair loss treatments are available - LASER AND MESOTHERAPY  PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP ) THERAPY.

Another treatment option is HAIR TRANSPLANTATION, in which tiny hair follicles taken from one area of the scalp are transplanted into the affected areas. It can be very effective and produce permanent results that are natural looking.

LIFESTYLE THAT TRIGGERS FOR HAIR LOSS

Your diet gives you the building blocks necessary to support a healthy body, and if you do not give it the building blocks it needs to produce healthy hair, it won’t, the following substances and conditions are  linked to a greater chance for hair loss:

CAFFEINE

The studies revealed that men who drank higher levels of caffeine were more likely to have hair loss as they aged. One possible reason for this connection could be that caffeine triggers the stress response in the body. High levels of stress are linked with a greater likelihood of future hair loss.

STRESS

Are you constantly stressed? If you don’t relax you might be contributing to your hair loss. The studies found that men and women who led a more stressful lifestyle were more likely to lose their hair.

FATTY ACIDS

Researchers found that certain fatty acids helped protect hair while others interfered with hair health. A diet high in omega 6 fatty acids were more likely to lead to an increased risk for hair loss, while omega 3 fatty acids protected hair health.

SMOKING

Men and women who smoked were more likely to see hair loss in greater amounts than men and women who abstained from smoking.

ALCOHOL

Men and women who drank more than 1-2 glasses of an alcoholic beverage per night had a higher chance of balding as they aged.

DANDRUFF

Researchers found that dandruff weakens the hair follicle, leading to hair thinning and hair loss.

Fight oily scalp in summers

Summer is the time when you tend to suffer from excessive oil production in the scalp which leads to dandruff, itching and an unpleasant odour. The sebaceous glands are overactive when the weather is hot and this leads to excessive sweating and consequently to infections in your scalp.

There are several things you can do to limit the damage and help your hair retain its voluminous bounce and healthy texture even in the peak of heat. 

The first step in this direction is to trim off the dull split ends at the onset of summer. 

Hair tends to grow faster during summer as this is the period for the active Anagen phase so you can go in for that regular trim without worrying about the speed at which your hair will grow back.

Those with normal to dry hair can skip a day between washing their tresses with shampoo. But if you have oily hair, you can wash it daily without worrying about stripping the hair of its lustre.

 Use a good conditioner but try to condition only the ends of the hair to avoid overload.

While brushing is great for keeping normal hair healthy, it can actually be counterproductive for oily hair as it only distributes oil from the scalp to the entire hair shaft, distributing it throughout. Thus, people with oily hair should avoid brushing their hair too often in the summer.

Rinsing with lemon juice or vinegar diluted with water is also great to keep the oil in the hair in check. But be sure to rinse with clear water afterwards.

Before a swim, apply a conditioner to protect the cuticles, and wash it off only after the swim.

Always remember to drink a lot of water and eat fresh fruits and vegetables. 

Make sure you get the right amount of vitamin C, Iron, Amino acids and omega-three fatty acids which will give the growing hair a lustrous, healthy look.

With a good combination of preventive habits and conscientious care during the summer, you can easily maintain those healthy tresses through the hot weather.

Does drinking water really help in hair growth ???

Lack of water causes Dehydration, but this dehydration has a direct impact on hair growth. It is a common fact that our body is usually composed of 60-80% water. When it does not receive the adequate amount of water in order to maintain cell health and reproduction, it becomes dehydrated which directly impacts hair growth as well.

On daily basis, human body tends to lose 2 to 3 quarts of water approximately, in many ways like sweat and other water removal processes. Our skin too has a high concentration of water which tends to evaporate constantly in tiny air-borne droplet affecting the balance of water in our body.

If the roots of hair are deficient in required water levels, the tresses of hair will eventually become brittle, dry, rough and it is possible that they may stop growing at your genetic rate. Roots of hair are the only means by which water is supplied from body to hair. Roots soak up the water and provide hydration to the hair, which automatically and internally boosts up hair growth

1. Water is the root source of energy for each and every cell of our body. It includes those cells too, that are responsible for hair growth and its health.

2. Water nurtures cells and provides them required hair vitamins.

3. It generates magnetic and electrical energy which is considered as a core power to sustain life. 

4. The roots of the hair and our scalp have many energy-sensitive and photosensitive nerve endings. Water activates all these nerve endings and other sensors in our skin and scalp that enhances the natural vitality of hair roots.

5. Drinking enough water can also help you get rid of dandruff and hair thinning problem.

Drink water for Healthy Hair. Water helps the body to process and flush out toxins faster, which makes it a quick and easy natural method that will make your hair grow a lot faster. If you drink about 8 cups of water a day, not only will your body feel better, but your hair will get stronger.
