At a young age, a man loses half of his hair. There are many versions of the reasons behind it, and it is unclear which one is the problem. So, what are the causes of hair loss in men? Let's take a look together!
Causes of hair loss in men
1. Seborrheic hair loss
Also known as male pattern baldness, it has obvious hair loss characteristics, starting from the temples and the top of the head.
This problem afflicts 35 million men in the United States.
This type of hair loss is usually hereditary and is more likely to occur in families. Treatment requires professional measures such as medication or hair transplantation in regular hospitals.
2. Lack of protein
Hair growth depends on protein. If too much junk food is consumed, or if there is an excessive intake of sugar, salt, and oil, or if only vegetarian food is consumed, it may result in a lack of protein and thinning hair.
In addition, people who lack iron or those who excessively lose weight may also experience hair loss.
3. Over-washing hair
Everything in moderation, including washing hair. Natural oils on the scalp help keep hair healthy and strong.
If hair is washed improperly, or if low-quality and highly irritating shampoos are used frequently, or if excessive amounts are used, it can lead to dry, brittle, and easily falling hair.
4. Excessive hair styling
Fashionable styling may be eye-catching, but it can also leave hidden dangers. Hair gel that firmly fixes upright hair strands puts a huge strain on the hair roots and follicles.
Furthermore, hair dyes containing harmful chemicals, high-temperature curling irons, and hair dryers all affect and deplete hair health.
Therefore, before pursuing a new hairstyle, consider the strength and sustainability of your hair.
5. High stress
If you constantly feel overwhelmed by stress, the trouble of hair loss is more likely to find its way to you.
Long-term high stress can disrupt hormone balance, which ultimately manifests in continuously falling hair.
6. Hair loss from the mother's side
Men always look at their father's hair, fearing that they will become bald one day.
In fact, for hair loss caused by excessive male hormones, the genetic genes may come from your mother.
Pay attention to the hair of the relatives on your mother's side, as this is likely to be your future trend.
Methods for preventing hair loss in men
1. Scalp cleansing
This is a step for men with hair loss before washing their hair! Excessive secretion of scalp oil can hinder the metabolism of hair follicles, causing scalp inflammation, sensitivity, and abnormal overgrowth of scalp yeast. Therefore, the scalp is dirtier than the hair, and oil and bacteria thrive here.
2. Hair cleansing
After scalp cleansing, the hair follicles are cleared, and the shampoo can more effectively clean the remaining oil particles and dirt on the hair.
3. Anti-hair loss care
Genetic genes, hormonal imbalances, and external factors directly affect hair health and growth. Male hormones make sebum more abundant.
Hair growth essence can further adjust sebum balance, promote hair growth, and awaken dormant hair follicles.
