Over 30 million men and 20 million women have thinning or falling
hair. Baldness or loss of hair is referred to alopecia. Alopecia totalis
means loss of all the scalp hair. Alopecia universalis means loss of all
body hair. When the hair falls out in patches, it is termed alopecia
areata.
Although hair loss is usually considered hereditary and not easily
reversible, there are other factors, both internal and external. Some
examples which are involved in the loss of hair are: acute illness,
surgery, radiation, skin disease, sudden weight loss, iron deficiency,
diabetes, thyroid disease, drugs such as those used in chemotherapy,
stress, poor diet, and vitamin deficiency.
Hair health depends on blood supply, circulation, and nutrition.
Factors that are involved in male hair loss include heredity, hormones, and
aging. Women sometimes have the same type of hair loss, but it is not as
severe and usually occurs after menopause. In addition, most women lose
some hair two or three months after having a baby because hormonal changes
during pregnancy prevent normal hair loss.
Healthy hair is a mirror of both good nutrition and common sense.
Hair consists of protein layers called keratin. In healthy hair, the cell
walls of the hair cuticle lie flat like shingles, leaving hair soft and
shiny. In damaged or dry hair, the cuticle shingles are broken and created
gaps that make hair porous and dull. Hair problems are never isolated
conditions. They can be the result of basic body imbalances such as
nutritional deficiencies.
