What symptoms are considered abnormal hair loss?
Generally, people tend to lose hair every day, which is normal. However, it does not exceed 30-50 strands per day. If it exceeds 70-100 strands or even 200 strands, it is considered abnormal hair loss, even if the hair is not combed or brushed.
Excessive hair loss can be caused by many reasons, which vary from person to person, including:
Hereditary hair loss
It can occur in both men and women, but it is most common in men. The hair has a shorter lifespan than normal because the hair roots are more sensitive to androgen, a male hormone. The new hair that grows will become smaller and thinner, and appear as fine hairs. It usually affects the forehead and center of the head.
It can occur as early as adolescence, and in women, symptoms usually appear after menopause. Some people may experience it along with dandruff and itching.
I temporarily stopped growing.
This condition can occur where our hair deteriorates and falls out more than normal, such as excessive hair loss in women after childbirth, newborns after high fever, major surgery, chronic illness, blood loss, blood donation, use of certain medications, and mental stress.
This type of hair loss usually occurs within 1-3 months, after which the hair will stop falling out and grow back normally.
Hair loss in patches
Alopecia areata is a disease of unknown cause. Hair will fall out in specific areas. It is round or oval in shape with clear edges. There is usually no hair in the center. The scalp is not red, painful, itchy, flaky or scaly. White hair may be found in this area. Hair will fall out in 1-2 patches, but if it is severe, more than 10 patches may appear until it spreads over the entire scalp. Eyelashes and eyebrows also fall out.
Once you have it, it can naturally go away on its own, but it can take years and can come and go and recur.
Hair loss from hair pulling
Family problems, school problems are considered mental pressures that cause some children to pull out their hair until it becomes a habit, which will cause them to pull out their own hair until it is thin, the scalp is not flaky, there is no itchy rash, and there are many short stubbles.
Hair loss due to fungus
Tinea capitis is a fungal infection of the scalp that affects children and people of all ages. It causes hair loss in patches, red rashes, itching, flakes, or scales.
Hair thinning and hair loss from hair styling
Some women or men who often go to the salon may encounter this problem, whether it is frequent hair dyeing, perming with chemicals, blow drying or curling with high heat in other ways, which can be the cause because the scalp is inflamed or the hair is brittle.
Hair loss from other diseases
Patients with certain diseases, such as SLE, experience hair loss, thinning hair, along with chronic fever, joint pain, and butterfly rash on the face. Some chronic diseases can also cause hair loss, such as thyroid disease, syphilis, liver disease, and kidney disease.
Differences between women and men’s hair loss
Hair loss, thinning hair, occurs more often in men than women. The characteristics and areas of the hair loss vary. In men, hair loss occurs from the forehead upwards in an M shape. In women, it occurs in the middle of the crown or in the middle of the hair along the hair parting line.
What vitamins are lacking in my hair?
Eating an incomplete diet and drinking insufficient water can lead to a lack of nutrients such as hair-nourishing vitamins such as vitamin B, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D, etc., which can cause weak hair and hair loss.
How can I stop hair loss?
- Wash your hair and clean your hair and scalp regularly using a shampoo that reduces hair loss.
- Do not scratch or rub the scalp too hard.
- Avoid using chemicals on your scalp, such as dyeing, coloring, perming, or straightening your hair indiscriminately.
- Avoid pulling or plucking your hair. If you stop pulling, your hair will grow back. If you have mental health problems, you should consult a doctor.
- Avoid washing your hair with hot water because using hot water opens the pores and makes hair fall out more easily.
- Don’t sleep with your hair still wet, because moisture can cause fungus, which can lead to hair loss.
- Treating the dandruff problem first will help reduce the problem.
- Do karma to relieve stress because stress is also a cause.
- Take vitamin supplements and eat nutritious food because food can affect the health of your hair.
- See a specialist and keep coming for treatment as scheduled. It may take several months or even a year and there is a chance of recurrence.
