What are the early symptoms of hair loss

When people reach a certain age, they will encounter the problem of hair loss, and hair loss includes many symptoms. First of all, the most common early symptom is that when washing your hair, the amount of hair loss will be more than usual, and it is different from your early years. In addition, when combing your hair in the morning, the hair will fall out a lot, and the number of hair clumps can be calculated each time. It is normal for a person to lose no more than one hundred hairs a day, but more than one hundred is abnormal.

When I wash my hair, a lot of hair falls on the ground; when I comb my hair in the morning, I find that my hair has fallen out again. Many people suffer from hair loss, and some even have bald spots because of it. It is worth noting that in recent years, young people have become a high-risk group for baldness.

Experts said that this is closely related to factors such as young people's irregular lifestyle and unhealthy diet. High work pressure, excessive brain use, irregular work and rest schedules, and excessive intake of stimulating foods may all cause disorder in the secretion of male hormones in the human body and insufficient blood supply to the scalp, aggravating hair loss or causing it to occur prematurely.

According to experts, common hair loss in daily life mainly includes alopecia areata and seborrheic alopecia. Seborrheic alopecia has a family genetic tendency and is also a relatively common hair loss. Seborrheic alopecia usually begins after puberty, and is manifested by a decrease in hair density, thinning and sparse hair on both sides of the forehead, gradually extending to the top of the head, forming a high forehead, and an M-shaped hairline.

The other type is hair loss starting from the top of the head, commonly known as Mediterranean hair loss. Regarding the topic of hair loss, many netizens said that they became bald without realizing it. Some netizens are even afraid to wash their hair because a lot of hair falls out every time they wash their hair. If this continues, they are afraid that they will become bald. In this regard, experts say that abnormal hair loss and normal hair loss should be separated.

Because of the hair regression period, it is normal for people to lose about 50 to 100 hairs a day. However, if a large amount of hair falls out when you comb your hair, you should pay attention. Experts point out that frequent hair dyeing can lead to hair loss. In fact, hair dyeing is to force the dye into the hair. The dye is easy to fall off. After falling off, residual holes are formed on the hair. If there are holes in the hair, it will naturally be weak and will break if pulled. In addition, if the dye comes into contact with the scalp, it may damage the hair follicles, causing hair root atrophy and hair loss.

Experts suggest that people who are used to dyeing their hair should try to extend the interval between dyeing. Experts also remind us to pay attention to the three major signs of hair loss.

The first sign is that your scalp produces more oil. Excessive oil on the scalp means that your sebaceous glands are secreting very actively. An important reason for the active secretion of sebaceous glands is the high level of male hormones, which directly leads to an increase in DHT concentration. When DHT levels remain elevated, the likelihood of future hair loss increases greatly and is difficult to treat.

The second sign is increased hair loss after washing. Washing your hair is the time when hair is most likely to fall out. Find a time to wash your hair in a basin, don’t take a shower. After washing, collect all the fallen hair and see how many strands there are. If there are more than 100 strands, it means that you are already in a serious period of hair loss.

The third sign is thinning hair. Observe the thickness of the hair you lose every day. The thickness of your hair can reflect many problems. If the fallen hair is very thick and hard, it means that the hair itself is healthy, but it suddenly fell off due to certain stimulation during the growth period. The most likely reason for this is mental factors. Some cases of psychological hair loss may result in a lot of hair loss, but the hair can be recovered quickly as long as the person adjusts his mindset. Many new mothers lose a lot of hair due to a sudden decrease in hormone secretion after giving birth. This phenomenon will return to normal in about half a year after giving birth, so there is no need to worry too much.

When you first start to experience excessive oiliness on your scalp, dandruff, itchy scalp, and thinning hair, you should go to the dermatology department of a hospital in time for diagnosis and treatment. These symptoms can be relieved through medication. If you wait until all your hair has fallen out or the hair follicles have shrunk and disappeared before seeking medical treatment, any medication you take will be in vain. In daily life, many behavioral habits may lead to hair loss. It is best to use less hair dryer because the heat from the hair dryer can reach 100°C, which can damage hair tissue and scalp. You should also use air conditioning less and stay in air-conditioned rooms often. The warm and humid air and the cold air from the air conditioner can cause hair loss and gray hair. Air that is too dry or too humid is not good for protecting hair.
