What should I do if my hair falls badly in autumn

Concentrated hair loss

Hair growth also has a life cycle. It will experience a resting period (stop growing and falling off) from October to December, and the time corresponds to autumn and winter.

But don’t worry too much. For normal people, this situation is a normal hair cycle. Even if hair loss increases in autumn, it will be replenished in spring, so just let it go. Is it going to be bald? We have to figure out whether we are hair loss or hair loss.

Hair loss is the natural renewal of hair caused by the life cycle of hair follicles. Under normal circumstances, people lose less than 100 hairs every day. When the number of fallen hair is more than 100, it can be called alopecia. Once hair loss begins, the hair will become less and less, and there will be obvious local thinning, or even baldness.

Hair loss is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment. If you are sure that it is hair loss, you must first know what type of hair loss you belong to.

There are 3 types of hair loss

Telogen alopecia

Mainly due to endocrine changes, telogen hair loss rarely affects more than 50% of the hair.

Common reasons:

●Postpartum hair loss

●Hypothyroidism

●Nutrient deficiency or too little intake

●Take some drugs such as antidepressants, oral contraceptives, etc.

●Mental illness depression, anxiety, etc.

●Physical stress behaviors, such as surgery, dialysis, etc.

Alopecia areata

It manifests as round or oval non-scarring hair loss, such as “exclamation mark” hair.

The etiology of alopecia areata is unknown, because it sometimes merges with other autoimmune diseases. Therefore, it is believed to be related to the autoimmune mechanism, which is common in immune diseases caused by mental diseases, and may also be related to genetic factors.

Androgenetic alopecia

Also known as seborrheic alopecia, it often manifests as greasy scalp, soft hair, increased dandruff, and obvious itching. Hair loss starts from the top of the head and gradually extends to the forehead to the entire top of the head. Androgen alopecia also has a large genetic factor.

Two ways to treat hair loss

The treatment of telogen-phase hair loss must first find out the cause. After the cause is removed, the hair loss will usually stop within half a year to a year and new hair will grow back.

Because the most common cause of alopecia areata is high mental stress, patients adjust their mood, lifestyle, pay attention to rest, so that the immune function returns to normal, and most of them can heal on their own. For larger areas of hair loss, hormone therapy can be applied in combination with the patient’s psychological state.

The treatment of androgenetic alopecia is difficult. At present, the main treatment methods are drug treatment and hair transplant treatment.

Drugs

●External use

Minoxidil liniment: It has a good effect on androgenetic alopecia. It has been used for male hair loss for a long time and is the only medicine approved by the US FDA for female pattern hair loss.

●Oral

Finasteride: It can reduce the level of dihydrotestosterone in the body. Dihydrotestosterone destroys the normal growth cycle of hair and gradually shrinks the hair follicles. Therefore, finasteride blocks hair follicle atrophy and achieves the treatment of androgenicity. The purpose of hair loss.

●Reminder:

The side effects of medication are very speechless. After stopping the drug, the new hair will still fall off; it may also cause the hair in other parts to grow, darken, and thicken.

Hair

It is currently the safest and most direct method. The transplanted hair is basically the same as the surrounding hair, and will grow with the surrounding hair. The disadvantage is that if the hair loss is in the advanced stage, it may continue to fall off, so it is generally selected for the stable period of hair transplantation. The other biggest disadvantage is that it is too expensive.

In addition, wearing a wig is also a good way. You don’t have to worry about side effects, and you can change your hairstyle according to your mood.
