Why do women lose their hair? Causes of Hair Loss
I am more and more surprised by the number of women who are terrified of sudden extreme hair loss. Never before was the topic discussed in conversations, but today is a real psychosis, ask around and you will see!
Dermatologists confirm this, their practices are stormed by women who consult them for problems of temporary or chronic heavy hair loss.
It was thought until now that women were protected from this problem by their female hormones, obviously, this is no longer the case. How to avoid hair loss? Start by asking yourself about the treatments you are giving them, and follow our advice.
Women: bald at the top of the skull ...
Baldness, it is well known, is an essentially male problem. This is called androgenic alopecia, which means that it is due to male hormones.
For some men it is sometimes difficult to live, but socially, the phenomenon is perfectly accepted. In women, baldness is more diffuse than in men, at the top of the skull (the vertex) and sparse hair on the parietal and frontal areas.
By contrast, when it occurs in women, baldness is a drama. It is the loss of a major attribute of femininity. It often even happens with them that washing hair with hot water causes baldness. Shame, what ...
Female pattern baldness and its causes ... official
The androgenic alopecia therefore also exists for women. And in some cases the official medicine knows how to overcome it.
For example, when it is linked to taking non-steroidal progestins, to the administration of male hormone derivatives in certain treatments of severe mastoses.
But in all other cases, it is the sidereal vacuum, no solution has been found!
Apart from the reasons already mentioned, the medical profession is moving towards other origins
- Hypothyroidism.
- Polycystic ovary syndrome or other endocrinopathies.
- Chronic serious illness.
- A severe infection ...
And then there are the famous all-purpose remedies, the all-purpose molecules found on all prescriptions: minoxidil, the results of which are very uncertain. Most of the time you have as much hair growing in your ears as on your head! And if we stop the treatment, the heavy hair fall begins again.
Nutrition: Doctors do not go far enough
Poor nutrition is sometimes the cause of unwanted hair growth . Foods (which are less and less nutrient intensive) and poor dietary habits cause nutrient deficiencies that are fatal to hair causing a poor diet hair loss problem.
Again, in this area, doctors, who consider that all this is only perinpinpin powder, are very stingy of advice. This list is not extraordinary, but since nobody tells you ...
Here is the list of the main nutrients of interest to the hair:
- B vitamins seem to play a key role, especially vitamins B5 and B8 (also called biotin or vitamin H)
- zinc for cellular regeneration,
- silicon, deficient with age, which tones the structure of the hair,
- iron, when it is deficient,
- minerals: magnesium and calcium,
- vitamin E,
- sulfur-containing amino acids, in particular cystine (Cystine B6),
- germanium, which improves the oxygen supply,
- wheat germ oil,
- selenium for its antioxidant action.
What your hairdresser will never tell you
There is indeed a cause to which doctors and dermatologists only very rarely allude and which, however, is obvious. If we see more and more bald women, it is more surely because of the hair products they use year-round than for any other reason. That nobody will tell you, especially not your hairdresser!
In the forums, on the Internet, more and more women are asking themselves this question, and rightly so. And all have identified the most dangerous products among the hair products: the colorations.
More and more women are witnessing heavy hair loss after staining , allergies, sometimes serious, or terrible pains in the most extreme cases. Nowadays, the hair is a real fashion accessory, it is cut, it is carved, it is ruffled but especially it is colored. Sometimes to elegantly match his purse or shoes, but especially to hide the white hair.
The dyestuff industry represents a significant economic market that even attacks teenagers and men. 60% of women over 18 are directly affected. Blond, red, green, auburn ...
The hair can see all the colors according to the mood or the fashion and it is very difficult to escape the call of the color at his hairdresser or in the radius of the supermarkets. But now, we know it now: chemical stains are dangerous for your health!
In hospitals, it is rumored that many female cancers of the bladder and liver are due to colorations. And we even hear that some biopsies can identify precisely what color was used by the sick lady ...
The hair is not dead appendages that would be worn on the head like a damn! Because all around the capillary papilla (the heart of the hair bulb) are stem cells that are attacked and killed by chemical staining.
The endocrine glands, in direct connection with the hair, will strive to eliminate the product very quickly because the threat is important, it is then the kidney that will be solicited. In case of repeated and frequent aggression, the kidney saturates and it is the bladder which ends up being reached.
The phenomenon has been known for a long time and various studies, begun some 30 years ago (and in different countries) resulted in the prohibition of ingredients formally recognized as dangerous: in 2006, no less than 22 substances were banned. at the European level !
But this has not led the major brands to more wisdom and new ingredients have taken the place while the manufacturers now put forward new promises: "ammonia-free", "natural", "with plant extracts", " with beeswax "," with wheat proteins "... We can put as many natural extracts as we want, but where is the difference when they coexist with harmful ingredients?
Hairdressers, the first victims of the success of hair products
Do you know which are the most common occupational diseases of hairdressers? You will tell me: musculoskeletal disorders due to repetitive actions. That's true, but this profession is far more affected by respiratory and skin allergies.
It is not uncommon for a hairdresser to be forced to throw in the towel because his allergies have become unbearable. According to the National Observatory of Occupational Asthma (ONAP) the hairdresser's job comes to 4 thrank of the most common causes of allergies!
Among the causes, the manipulation of multiple hair products: at the head, the colorations. In Germany, the Pension Insurance Federation recently analyzed the state of health of 500,000 people who were pre-retired for health reasons. She found that the risk of cancer, including lymphoma, in hairdressers was three times higher than the average ...
Cancer or arthritis: you have the choice!
In his book Healing cancer or protecting himself in 2005, Professor Dominique Belpomme, oncologist advocating for a less polluted environment, gave many tips. Among these: "limit the use of cosmetic cosmetics and hair dyes".
Several scientific studies have highlighted the risks of coloring for health. Thus, in 2001, a US study compared the use of hair dyes and the risk of bladder cancer. More than 1,500 patients with such cancer were followed, including 879 who used hair dyes.
This study showed that women who dye their hair every month for one year double their risk of having this cancer. And the risk of bladder cancer is multiplied by 3 in women who color hair every month for at least 15 years.
Hair dye cause hair loss! At the end of 2001, another Swedish study showed that women who have dyed or discolored hair for at least 20 years are twice as likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis.
The culprit may be paraphenylene diamine (PPD), a substance still permitted in hair coloring and present in some henna tattoos. PPD can trigger lifelong allergic reactions on the skin of people who are exposed to it.
The darker the color, the higher the concentrations. Many other studies point to a relationship between cancer (including breast) and color. Strangely, none put forward the relationship between baldness and these same colorations?
