WHY IS HAIR LOSS AN ISSUE?
Hair is one of the first things
people notice about us. Hair is completely tied into our concept of
beauty and good looks. People are often described by their hair
characteristics, for example, "tall with short blonde hair" or "short,
dark, curly hair". Hair expressions like "blondes have more fun" or
"having a bad hair day" are part of our day to day vocabulary.
The front hairline is the most important feature of the entire head of
hair. The hair line frames the face. The hair line is what we and
others see first. Our hair line says a lot about our age,
attractiveness, suitability as a mate, our health and our vitality.
When there is no hair line due to hair loss, the face is left "unframed", and questions about our attractiveness and age arise.
Our hair style also says a lot about who we are and the image we want
to portray to the world, either professionally, culturally or as a
means of self expression. Hairstyles have defined eras and cultural
movements, as with the long haired hippies of the 60s or the bald
Buddhist monks.
Our choice of hair style, hair colour and
hair length allows us to show the world an inner part of ourselves.
This is why hair loss for some men and hair loss for women can be
devastating. Bald or balding men and women are often regarded by
society as being older or less desirable. For some balding men and
women, this can lead to a serious lack of self esteem.
HAIR AND HAIR LOSS
Hair is made up of a protein called keratin, produced in hair follicles
in the outer layer of skin. As follicles produce new hair cells, old
cells are being pushed out through the surface of the skin at the rate
of about six inches a year. The hair that can be seen is actually a
string of dead keratin cells. The average adult head has about 100,000
to 150,000 hairs loss is about 100 of them a day. At any one time,
about 90% of the hair on a person's scalp is growing. Each follicle has
its own life cycle that can be influenced by age, disease, and a wide
variety of other factors. As people age, their rate of hair growth
slows and hair loss increases. Rate of hair loss varies from individual
to individual. Hair loss is also known as Alopecia. There are various
types of hair loss, causes of hair loss, and many hair loss treatments.
