What Is The Cause For Hair Loss

By Aaron Millane


Dandruff and hair loss are some widespread problems encountered by both women and men. Those who are stylish and picky regarding their hair, as well as those who do not give so much fuss, encounter hair loss. These health issues have been around since the beginning of time. They may be small matters to consider, but dandruff and hair loss can give so much inconvenience. They annoy us and affect our confidence, and therefore, we would like it banished.


Though they are common, many are still unaware and unknowledgeable on how to prevent and cure them. There are natural means and prepared medications to address dandruff and hair loss. But prior to taking any action, it is imperative to understand how they come about and what factors trigger them.


Dandruff is formed as a result of an increase in the production of dead skin cells which is a consequence of fungal colonization. The fungi also cause the irritation and itchiness. Whereas, the dead cells cluster together to form the whitish flakes. Irritation plus flake equal one hell of a hair problem. On the other hand, hair loss has been attributed to several factors like malnutrition or stress. If you are wondering why nutrition is important, the answer is simple. What we take in is reflected on our exterior, and hence, we have to keep our body healthy inside and out. Accordingly, hair loss can be caused by the deficiency of vitamin B, particularly B6, in our diets, as well as the high intake of vitamin A over an extended period of time. Hair loss, as in the common male baldness pattern, can also be caused by genetics.


Dandruff and hairloss have got close relation. It's been a typical belief that dandruff causes hair thinning which is partly true. Hair loss can be an indirect effect of dandruff. After getting dandruff, your head become itchy and irritated. Should your reaction to this itchiness is to excessively rub and scratch your scalp, this might be making you have hair loss problems.


The question that now remains is just how will we eliminate dandruff and hair loss? Here are some points to consider:

* For dandruffs, there are simple but effective shampoos that can get the job done. Purchase shampoos that especially contain ketoconazole since this is an active ingredient that has anti-fungal properties. A popular brand in the market today is Nizoral.

* Keep your scalp thoroughly clean. While some studies falsify the lay claim of natural remedies for dandruff, there isn't any harm in trying them. Accordingly, massaging the scalp with diluted cider vinegar or coconut (or olive) oil might help keep your scalp dandruff-free.

* For hair loss, there are already prepared treatments you can use. Of these treatment brands are Procerin, ProFollica, Corvinex, and Folligen.

* Consult an herbologist or trusted source for natural remedies, which incorporate natural ingredients like saw palmetto, green tea that use organic ingredients shown to inhibit balding.

* Check out your drug stores, or even the supermarkets, for the hair products that works well with you. You simply could be amazed to learn several choices and alternatives.

* Get vitamins that you can include in your diet. A proper and well-balanced diet can significantly treat dandruff and hair loss.
