Hair Fall
CAUSES, PREVENTION AND CURE
What is Hair fall ?? What is baldness ??
Hair fall or baldness (technically known as alopecia) is
a loss of hair from the head or body.
Alopecia areata means "hair loss in areas". In the
majority of cases hair loss is a normal process of aging,
and not a disease.
Baldness is the partial or complete lack of hair growth,
and part of the wider topic of "hair thinning".
Hair thinning and baldness cause psychological stress
due to their effect on appearance.
Symptoms
Symptoms of hair fall include hair loss in patches usually in circular
patterns, dandruff, skin lesions, and scarring.
In male-pattern hair loss, loss and thinning begin at the temples and
the crown and either thins out or falls out. Female-pattern hair loss
occurs at the frontal and parietal.
The first signs of hair thinning that people will often notice are more
hairs than usual left in the hairbrush after brushing or in the basin after
shampooing.
Causes
People have between 100,000 and 150,000 hairs on their head. The
number of strands normally lost in a day varies, but on average is 100.
Most people who develop alopecia areata are apparently healthy and
have no skin problems. When it does occur, it tends to start during the late
teenage years, early childhood, or early adulthood. However, it can strike
at any age.
This could happen rapidly, or from progression of alopecia areata. Experts
are not sure what causes it, but know that it is an autoimmune disorder.
. Although many believe mental stress is a contributory factor, a sizeable
number of people with alopecia totalis lead relatively stress-free lives.

Men hair fall
The expression of Androgenetic hair loss is affected by three interdependent factors: genes, hormones, and age:
Genes: It is frequently stated that “hair loss comes from the mother’s side of the family.” The truth is that baldness can be inherited from either parent.
Hormones: The major male sex hormone is called testosterone. These same hormones that cause acne and beard growth can also signal the beginning of baldness.
Age: The presence of the necessary genes and hormones
is not alone sufficient to cause baldness.
