At some point of time in life all of us notice hair fall. Often owing to casual attitude or careless lifestyle we tend to ignore the initial signals. Hormonal changes, change of weather or water also causes hair fall and we find it extremely difficult to believe that we are losing hair. Hair care methods are not easy and are time consuming. But since hair is an important part of our personality and enhances our looks, it is important to care for the same. Most times we find hair and skin problems coming up at the same time. This may be due to stress or diet.
It is actually fine to lose about 50 to 100 strands of hair but again this is a general notion. Many of us do not face the problem of hair fall and when a sudden event like this happens we tend to panic. Getting stressed about hair fall will further result in more hair fall. Firstly observing the pattern will seem important. In case you have been on medication or ailing from a long time then hair fall will be a common problem. Usually vitamin supplements or iron content can be increased to combat the problem.
Mother hood is a great experience and one usually is blessed with a thick growth of hair during pregnancy. New hair also grows during this time as one is adequate on the nutrition content and also the iron-calcium is well maintained owing to extra supplements prescribed by the doctor. As the baby grows, within a few months, there is a great amount of hair loss owing to hormonal factors and internal changes in the body. This does not require much of medication as this is a self correcting phase.
Calcium deficiency is also known to cause hair fall. This can be due to age or osteoporosis. Again mere consumption of calcium pills will not solve the problem. Vitamin D and sunlight is required for calcium absorption. Right kind of exercise will also be necessary to solve the problem. It is important to check for allergies from iron and calcium supplements before using the same.
The basic quality for good hair is not about length but it is actually about density and shine. Cleanliness and hygiene are other important factors. Using an appropriate shampoo and conditioner is also important to maintain the quality of hair. Oiling is a common routine in Asia and many times helpful as it facilitates moisturizing of hair. Medicated oils are also great for relaxation through head massage which also improves the quality of hair.
