It's normal for your hair to fall out every day naturally. When hair falls out, new hair will grow to replace it endlessly throughout the life of the hair owner. It’s a natural matter.
But how do we know that each day the number of hairs that fall out when we wash and comb our hair, or fall on the pillow, becomes a problem of “hair loss”, “thinning hair”, or “baldness” that we have to worry about? Do we need to consult a doctor or get treatment immediately before it's too late?
The symptom of “hair loss” can be the result of many factors. One of them, which we are all familiar with, is “Hereditary hair loss” that is passed down in families from generation to generation. Although genetics is the main cause of hair loss in men, women have a chance of genetic hair loss but in different amounts.
Not only that, the following causes may also increase women's risk of hair loss:
- Aging
- Congenital disease
- Hormone levels
- Postpartum condition
- Stress
Everyday behaviors, which you may have done without realizing that they can cause weakened hair and hair loss, are the matters you should avoid:
Excessive use of harsh chemicals and heat hair styling
- Washing your hair the wrong way
- Poor nutrition and crash diets
- Sleeping late and lack of sleep
- Smoking and tobacco use
As for how to observe whether your hair loss symptom is still at a normal level or you should hurry to see a doctor for a treatment, it can be observed by “the number of hairs that fall out”. Normally, up to 70 - 100 strands of hair fall out a day. If more than that amount of hair falls out for several days in a row, there’s something wrong.
In addition to this, various patterns of hair loss may also be observed, such as thinning of hair all over your scalp, not just in one area or patch, or known as “acute alopecia”. Each person will lose more or less hair, but it will not reach the level of baldness. It is caused by the hair entering the Telogen Phase, a resting period, due to diseases as well as mental conditions like stress, anxiety, and depression.
In some cases, the symptom “Alopecia areata” may occur. Alopecia areata is a disease that happens when the immune system attacks hair follicles and causes hair loss. Causes of Alopecia areata include stress and lack of sleep. If it’s caused by genetics, you will notice that the hair thinning begins around the hair part first and then expands to the sides.
Therefore, if you feel that you are experiencing unusually excessive hair loss, the first thing you should do is to come talk and consult with Namnin's expert doctor. Your doctor will help you make a personalized diagnosis to determine the root cause of your hair loss, and then design an appropriate treatment program. In addition to treatment by taking hair loss medication as recommended by the doctor, the doctor will recommend the following alternatives for nourishing the hair and relieving hair loss symptom safely:
- Elixir Hair Serum by NEAT HAIRNUE obtained from 100% natural ingredients to gently nourish the hair.
- VITA H, derived from medical research, comprises carefully selected vitamins and beneficial extracts to deeply nourish the hair roots.
- Injecting Premium Hair Booster directly into the scalp in areas with thinning hair problems to stimulate the hair follicles, reducing hair falls, accelerating new hair growth, and strengthening the hair. The result is that thin and flat hair becomes thicker and denser.
Importantly, in the process of hair loss treatment, there is a success factor that cannot be overlooked, which is, "time". That is, the sooner we notice abnormalities and consult a doctor at an early stage, the greater the chance of most effectively hair restoration and revitalization.
