Before you do something, you need to determine the causes and extent of the problem, "says our consultant. - Slight loss of hair -20-50 per day - is considered the norm. More intensive loss (up to 100 hairs per day) can be caused by the use of an unsuitable shampoo, frequent use of a hair dryer and a curdy, a season change. In this case, there will be enough proper care and restorative procedures. Proper care means primarily the use of special strengthening agents. By the way, recently the brand Vichy introduced in the Ukrainian market a new shampoo for weak, fragile, damaged hair Dercos Aminactif. He restores the curls from the inside, and from the outside. If after three to four weeks after the application of a special shampoo does not stop, it is worth taking more serious measures. Like, in case you lose more than 100 hairs a day. Such a state of ringlets can already testify to violations in the body. "
Why hair falls out
The appearance of the problem most often provokes:
1) hormonal disorders (thyroid disease, improperly prescribed treatment of endocrine diseases, improperly selected hormonal contraceptives);
2) pregnancy and childbirth;
3) strong, prolonged stress;
4) prolonged use of certain medications (including antidepressants);
Scientifically, hair loss is called alopecia. The most common so-called diffuse alopecia - uniform hair loss throughout the surface of the scalp. This happens when a number of hair follicles for one reason or another goes into a resting phase and simply stops producing hair. Fortunately, this form of the disease is treated quite easily and effectively. Including in the home. Inna Gordaya says: "To stop falling out, you need to act in two ways: to strengthen the roots of hair and eliminate the shortage of nutrients (a fairly common phenomenon with alopecia). With these tasks, a new intensive anti-hair loss agent Dercos Aminexil SP94 from Vichy. One of the advantages of the drug is that the effect of the application is noticeable after two weeks. This is very important for people who struggle with loss. After all, many people drop out of treatment without seeing the result. A Dercos Aminexil SP94 acts quickly enough, a person soon notices improvement, is set to win, continues to take responsibility for procedures - and in the end successfully solves the problem. "
When everything is serious
Novelty is effective in fighting severe forms of alopecia. However, in these cases, one Dercos Aminexil SP94, as a rule, is small - additional medical procedures are necessary. Doctors prescribe them to people with focal alopecia, in which hair falls out, forming bald spots. It is believed that it provokes immunity disorders, heredity, severe stress and severe diseases, androgenetic alopecia. This is one of the serious forms of prolapse. In men, it all begins with alopecia parietal and frontal part of the head. At women - with hair thinning in the field of the central selection and on temples. It has been established that androgenetic alopecia is caused by hereditary hormonal pathologies; anagenic form of diffuse alopecia, which develops as a result of irradiation or severe chemical poisoning. In cicatricial alopecia, when the hair does not grow in the area of the scar, which appeared due to surgery, trauma or inflammation on the scalp.
Improve blood supply
Hair growth depends on the blood supply to the scalp. If it is broken, new hair will not grow. How to fix the situation?
1) Do manual massage. The procedure is performed by fingers - clockwise for five minutes, twice a day, massage the scalp; Do this also when applying shampoo or balm while washing hair. Massage is not recommended for hypertension and scalp diseases (including fungal).
2) Buy a special massager. Perhaps you paid attention to the advertised massagers for the head - the device with a handle and metal spokes, designed for both scalp massage and stress relief. The effect of such a device really improves the blood supply to the scalp and can help in the fight against hair loss.
3) Practice massage-combing. Every morning and evening, comb your hair 100 times - in different directions, covering all areas of the scalp. Do the procedure at the open window.
4) Apply for the salon procedure, during which the scalp is affected by special impulse currents. It improves the nutrition of the hair follicles. It is advisable to go a course of 7-10 sessions.
Change the diet!
Is it possible to improve the condition of the curls by changing the habitual diet? Like the body as a whole, hair loves a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition. For their beauty it is important to get animal protein, B vitamins and a variety of trace elements. Be sure to include in your diet:
1) cereals, especially whole grains;
2) fermented milk products;
3) bread from wholemeal flour, with bran, from whole grains;
4) fat marine fish: German scientists claim that those who eat fish and seafood have less problems with hair than lovers of fatty, fried and spicy food;
5) red meat (at least once a week) and poultry, eggs, nuts, beans - these products contain protein and copper, responsible for the growth and structure of the hair;
6) Fresh vegetables: they are rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals (vitamin A, contained in carrots and green vegetables, reduces hair fragility, pantothenic acid, which is abundant in cabbage and beans, keeps their shine and softness);
7) vegetable oils containing vitamin E, which promotes hair restoration;
8) fruits that grow where you live - apples are ideally suited, in which there is a lot of iron;
8) 1,5-2 liters of water per day.
9) hair does not like fatty, fried, spicy food, as well as too hot dishes and drinks.
Abaissement and pregnancy
What if the hair begins to fall out after the birth of the baby? Why is this happening? During pregnancy, hair usually grows blooming and falls out less. But at its end - on the third or fourth month after the birth of a child - many women note increased hair loss. Usually, this is caused by the restructuring of the hormonal background in the body and passes independently after a while. But if the hair falls out too much, you need to turn to the endocrinologist and take tests for the level of hemoglobin in the blood and the function of the thyroid gland. If your health is ok, the doctor will recommend safe for you and your child preparations and hair care products. Try mesotherapy ("injections of beauty"). This is also a salon procedure (microinjection of vitamins, microelements and drugs that improve blood supply to the scalp), which is carried out by a course of 10-12 procedures with a break per week. Carry out molecular therapy. This is a fairly new way to combat hair loss, based on the introduction into the scalp of molecules of active substances. The leader in this direction is the cosmetic brand Vichy and its preparation Dercos Aminexil SP94 with the patented molecule SP94, invented to eliminate disturbances in nutrition of the hair roots in alopecia.
Only peace!
Usually, hair loss begins a month, three, or even six months after the action of the unfavorable factor. For example, in May you experienced a lot of stress, and at the end of August, the curls began to thin out. Far not everyone will come to mind to relate these two moments. So before you panic, considering the hair left on the pillow, try to remember what happened to you and your body some time ago. Hair is restored too long enough. Do not think that all efforts are in vain, if in two weeks on the comb, there is still a lot of hair. From the moment of the beginning of the course of treatment, a minimum of one and a half months must pass. By the way, do not be afraid at this time to comb: the hair, gathered to leave you, will fall out anyway. But, of course, zealous with combs can not. Another important advice - try to take control of emotions. Even if in your case, hair thinning is not associated with stressful situations, restoring the body needs peace of mind. Tune in to the positive, more often do your favorite things, try to pay less attention to minor troubles at work, spend more time in the fresh air and get enough sleep.
Taboo during treatment
To hair quickly recovered, try as little as possible to injure them: refuse for some time from using a hair dryer and stylers, do not make complex hairstyles with napes, tight braids and tufts, do not pick up curls in the tails. Now you need to walk as often as possible with loose hair. Penki, gels and varnishes are also better hidden in the locker - no matter how sparing the modern styling tools, they still hurt the locks. Like various hair clips, hoops, bandages. During the recovery therapy, you can not diet. Yes, and arrange the unloading days you need as little as possible. Keep track of the level of humidity in the apartment and office - in the heated rooms have hard times. It is also worth buying a moisturizing spray for curls or using ordinary thermal water (sprinkle it around your head). Do not forget to air the rooms - your hair needs oxygen. To determine the condition of the hair and what they lack, special tests help.
For the diagnosis, the doctor may suggest that you do:
1) Microelement analysis of hair
With its help, you will find out what vitamins, micro- and macronutrients are missing in the body, and hence in the scalp and hair. As a result of the research, you will be given a tablet in which the presence and absence of important nutrients in the cells will be painted. By the way, this examination is recommended not only to diagnose ringlets, - microelement analysis of hair helps to assess the condition of the organism in general;
2) Microvideo diagnosis of scalp
Observing the resulting image, the doctor draws a conclusion about the blood supply to the bulbs and the disturbances in the structure of the hair rods. This analysis helps the doctor determine the extent of the fallout. The doctor takes about 50 hairs, which he then examines under a microscope.
