Hair Loss doesn’t have to be Permanent

Hair Loss doesn’t always have to be permanent.

As a skin and hair-care specialist over the years many have confided in me about those special times they would donate their locks for cancer patients, and then years later they themselves were feeling less then comfortable about their own thinning hair. Is there a certain age where everything droops, puckers or falls out, they ask?

Hair loss is a conversation that not too many talk about out loud, unless you’re in the hair business or whisper concerns to your best friend.

I hear women say in a panic tone: “In one month it will be the beginning of summer vacation and OMG… my hair is falling out. Why is this happening to me…? Well, hair loss after winter is usually temporary and normal and may be blamed on a dry winter scalp.

There are many well known factors for hair-loss including #1-chronic stress, smoking, radiation, chemotherapy, chemical assaults in hair care products, medications, allergies, and premature aging. BUT..what if you don’t fit into any of those categories?

Well the reason “Why” is a great topic covering many categories. But one thing for certain is: changing habits can be helpful in improving hair growth!

What influences hair loss?

*Environmental Pollution contributes to scalp irritation and hair loss.

*A high sugar and wheat habit can rob us of essential B vitamins, and is linked to adrenal fatigue and hair loss. Additionally, a compromised immune system along with chronic antibiotic use can also deplete our B Vitamins and lead to hair loss.

*I’ve found-most people are on more than one prescribed medication. Medications such as: metoprolol, steroids, antidepressants, and statins can be causal in hair loss.

*Changing Hormones can play a significant role in the health and quality of our hair follicles. For ladies, quick hair loss could result from a lack of nutrients and low iron levels, or a new pregnancy.

* Eating disorders and obesity can also add to hormonal disruption. Thinning of hair in men and women can be related to the changes in the hormone “testosterone” from addictions to sugar and alcohol which can deplete testosterone levels leading to mineral deficiencies.

*We have a gut/hair axis. Healthy hair growth begins internally. Hair requires oxygen, minerals, amino acids, and hormonal balance to grow strong resilient hair. Diets high in ultra-processed foods and energy drinks damage the gut microbiome and deprive hair follicles of the nutrients they need to thrive.
