Hi ladies,
Today, I am here with a post that will solve all your queries about the much dreaded hair fall issues in almost every other girl. Read on to know all the questions, myths and facts regarding hair fall!
Is hair fall and hair loss the same thing?
No these are actually two different things. Hair loss happens when you start balding from a particular area on your head while hair fall refers to the physical hair strands falling from your whole scalp while you do normal activities like combing, oiling or shampooing.
Losing hair every day means you’re balding
It is ok if you are losing 80-100 strands per day. But you feel you are losing more hair strands than usual then you must consult a doc!
Hair loss is caused by decreased blood flow to the scalp
When we are in the hair growing out phase then the blood flow to the scalp is increased but as you experience extreme hair loss then that means not much blood is needed hence the blood flow decreases. So blood flow to the scalp is the result of hair loss and not the cause of it.
Frequent shampooing causes hair to fall out
This fact is actually not scientifically backed. If you are using the wrong shampoo for your hair type then that shampoo might damage your hair and scalp which may lead to hair fall but shampoos can never be the sole reason of your hair falling out.
Hot Styling Irons Contribute to Hair loss
Intense using of heat on your tresses can give you damaged and fried looking tresses and this may cause hair to become brittle which leads to hair fall. If you are using heat on your hair 2-3 times a week and using a heat protectant spray then you are probably fine!
Hair thinning only happens with age
That is so not true. I am 23 and I have the thinnest hair and hair fall problems too! So what I mean is hair thinning is a real issue and it can happen even when you are just a teenager. If you feel other people in your life have also started to comment on your thinning hair then it might be time to consult a doc immediately.
Exposure to sun damage hair
Yes exposure to excessive sun rays can damage your hair in more ways then you know! When you are out in the sun then those sun rays damage the external layer of the hair called cuticle and if this gets damaged then the inner layer of the hair also gets affected. This results in severely damaged looking hair.
Hair loss is caused by clogged pores
No that is simply untrue. Acnes are the result of clogged pores. Hair loss may be because of so many reasons but clogged pores aren’t one of them!
Supplements can help with hair regrowth
There are a few great supplements in the market which can improve the overall quality of your hair follicles. But if you are hoping for a full growth then you are in for huge disappointment.
