Hair Loss 101
Each hair strand survives for an average of 4.5 years, after which the hair falls out and is replaced in 6 months by a new strand of hair. Each month, it grows about half an inch. "Hair loss" or baldness is a situation when the body stops to produce new hairs - and not literally due to hair loss.
Hair loss is traceable to several factors such as aging, heredity and testosterone. Usually, men and women lose hair thickness as they age. Inherited baldness involves more men than women. Men, however, who do not produce testosterone do not develop baldness patterns. Meanwhile, women acquire a hair loss due to genetics, age and pregnancy. Sometimes, abrupt physical or emotional strain could lead one to lose half of the hair throughout the scalp. The hair shedding will reside only after 6 to 8 months. This stress could be stimulated by severe infections, childbirth, major illnesses, severe emotional stress, medications and crash dieting.
There are some women between the age of 30 and 60 years that may find that their hair is thinning out. Many have described that this hair loss begins heavy, with much of strands stuck in combs or falling out in showers but will gradually diminish as they grow older. There is still no identified reason for this type of hair loss. Hair loss which results from menopause or childbirth usually returns to normal within 6 months to 2 years.
If you, however, had a hair loss because of radiation therapy or other sicknesses, treatment is not needed. Your hair will naturally grow back until your body returns to its normal state.
Women who love hair pieces should abstain from suturing the hair accessories to the scalp as it runs the risk of scars and infection. For deep and excessive hair loss, it is best to visit a doctor.
