CAUSES OF BALDNESS

There are four main causes of baldness. First is the 'male pattern baldness'. This hair loss depends on two factors: male sex hormones and a genetic tendency to develop baldness. Baldness is a dominant gene among men and this means that if a man inherits the tendency to go bald from just one parent, then he will go bald. One in ten of all men will be completely or partially bald by the age of 25 years, while a third of all men show signs of male pattern baldness by the time they reach the age of 35. By the age of 50, nearly half of all men are bald or balding. Generally speaking the sooner the baldness starts the more severe it will be and if you've still got a pretty good head of hair by the age of 35 then you are likely to keep it for a good few years more. In the Second group are general disorders which cause hair loss as a secondary effect. A huge range of hormone disorders cause hair loss - menopausal problems and thyroid disorders being near the top of the list.

Pregnancy commonly causes hair loss too, and many women lose some hair after giving birth. Taking the contraceptive pill is another cause since this has an effect on the circulating sex hormone levels. Taking drugs can also cause hair loss, as can general disorders such as anemia. One of the most worrying forms of baldness, alopecia aerate, is said to be caused by worry and anxiety. Most commonly affecting young people in their teens and twenties alopecia aerates affects women just as much as it affects men.

It causes hair to fall out in handfuls, leaving bald patches all over the/scalp. Fortunately, this frightening hair root strike is usually a temporary problem: the hair normally grows again after a few months. But alopecia aerate is one of the few types of baldness that can develop very suddenly - within a few days. Third are the localized disorders such as ringworm, dandruff and eczema that produce baldness. These particu­lar problems need to be treated individually.

The Final type of hair loss affects women more than men, and includes cosmetic causes. Baldness can, for example, be caused by tight hair-styles which literally pull the hair out by the roots. This type of hair loss, known as traction alopecia, is usually produced by hair-styles such as pigtails, pony tails, braids and buns. It affects the hair at the front of the head and usually improves when the hair-style is changed for a looser one. Using stiff nylon bristled brushes can cause baldness, as can using a comb with rough teeth. Too much heat can also cause problems, so it is important to use hair-dryers and heated curlers with care. Chemicals used in bleaches, dyes, perms and hair straightening can all cause baldness if used carelessly or too often. So when we take proper care to our then we will always maintain the natural beauty without any hair loss.
