Hair Tips by the experts – FAQs

This is a common myth, but it is not true. Frequent shampooing not only does not damage the hair but can also help it. The frequency with which each patient bathes is affected by the hair itself, the oiliness of the scalp, the culture, the sex and the work of the individual. There is no upper limit on the number of baths per week. It is preferable, however, to use systematic conditioner at the same time.

You may notice that in every shampooing hairs falls out of your hair, but this is completely normal. Hair that is falling out is in the telogen phase of its life cycle and must fall out in order to make room for new hair. For this reason we seem to lose 50-100 hairs per day, but we do not lose them at the same rate throughout the year. For instance in the months of September-October and March-April, due to normal regeneration, more hairs fall out compared to the other months of the year. Falling hairs are replaced by new hairs, as determined by the hair growth cycle.

The activity of each individual hair follicle is circular and usually unrelated to the other follicles that transition from the growth phase to the resting phase before falling out and being replaced by new hair. This means that each hair is in a different phase of its growth cycle from the one next to it. Normally, about 90% of hair follicles are in the growth or regenerative phase, and about 10% are in the dormant or telogen phase. In conditions of illness, the hair cycle can change, and this can cause more hair loss than expected. Intense rubbing of the hair while shampooing or wiping with a towel is what can damage the structure and morphology of the hair.

The haircut can help reduce the split ends and thus make the hair look healthier. Your hair, however, does not grow stronger with the haircut, which does not help in case of hair loss or thinning hair. Also, long hair does not affect hair loss in any way, neither positively nor negatively.

Everyone’s hair starts to turn white at some point in their lives. The change in color is due to changes in the melanocytes, which are responsible for hair color. They are the same cells that are responsible for skin color. Damage to these cells results in reduced pigment production, which leads to the loss of the original color of the hair, which turns white. The appearance of the gray color is due to the coexistence of white and colored hairs.

It is difficult to estimate when the hair will change color and this time is different for each person. Genes play an important role in determining this time period in human life. People of African and Asian descent often turn gray at an older age than whites. In addition, environmental factors such as smoking, alcohol abuse, drug use, emotional stress, illness, and obesity can all lead to gray hair at a younger age than expected. A traditional rule of thumb says that 50% of people are 50% gray by the age of 50. However, recent research has shown that the percentage of people who have turned 50% gray at the age of 50 is between 6% and 23%.

Gray hair is almost always permanent and progressive. However, there are rare reports of spontaneous return of colored hair and partial reversal of the graying process, in the early stages. Currently, there is no treatment that can reverse the graying of hair.

Hair is one of the countless parts of the body that is negatively affected by smoking. Smoking adversely affects both the skin and the hair. Smoking leads to reduced quality and quantity of hair. It has also been linked to premature graying of the hair and increased severity of androgenic alopecia.

Deficiencies of vitamins, trace elements and amino acids can cause changes in the structure of the hair, its color and can even lead to hair loss. Replacement of these factors can help in recovery from certain hair conditions. However, hair loss may also be due to increased intake of certain substances such as vitamin A or selenium. You should consult your dermatologist before starting any anti-hair loss diet supplement.

A balanced diet, which includes meat, poultry, fish, fruits and vegetables is the key to healthy hair. Meat and fish are good sources of zinc. Meat, poultry and fish are some of the best sources of iron. Fish is one of the best sources of essential fatty acids. Fruits and vegetables provide antioxidants. All of these substances are beneficial for both the scalp and the hair. Always try to eat organic products so that you avoid the hormones that may be found in meat, eggs and dairy products.

Dry hair can be a sign of damaged hair. The wear is probably located in the outer lipid layer of the hair body. When this layer is lost the hair looks dry. Dry hair is usually the result of hair loss and is not normally associated with the production of sebum that keeps skin oily.

Scalp pain or hair loss is a relatively common problem that occurs in about 20% of women and 90% of men who seek care and help for a hair related problem. The sensation may be diffuse on the scalp, or it may affect specific areas of the scalp. Hair loss is probably due to the secretion of a molecule called substance P. Stress plays a role in the perception of this painful sensation. Patients suffering from hair loss, and especially from telogen flow, gyroid alopecia and androgenic alopecia are more likely to have hair loss.

Usually, the inability of the hair to grow longer is due to the increased fragility of the body of the hair. This is due to environmental factors, such as excessive hair treatment with extensive use of styling products and the use of heat sources, e.g. the straightener or hair dryer.

Yes, up to 15% of adolescent boys may experience early signs of androgenetic alopecia. In rare cases, even preadolescent children may show signs of androgenetic alopecia. Most of these cases are characterized by a very strong family history of the disease.

Androgenic alopecia will almost certainly lead to worsening of hair loss and thinning if left untreated. Treatment is important to prevent further disease progression.

Scarring alopecias is a group of diseases that cause irreversible damage to the hair follicles. Generally, there is no visible scar on the scalp, as the scar develops below the surface of the scalp.

Dandruff is a manifestation of seborrheic dermatitis, which causes inflammation of the scalp. This can speed up the development of baldness. Dandruff should always be treated using a suitable shampoo for each case and special solutions, applied topically.

Dandruff is a less serious form of seborrheic dermatitis that affects the scalp. Patients usually complain of itching, peeling skin without obvious inflammation as opposed to cases where seborrheic dermatitis occurs in other areas of the body, such as the face, where the inflammation is immediately apparent. The disease is mainly caused by colonization of the scalp. of Malassezia yeast scalp, but a number of other factors such as sebaceous gland secretions and predisposition also play a role.

It has been reported that some patients experience increased hair loss after starting minoxidil application. However, this effect is transient and usually normalizes within 2-8 weeks. This hair loss is due to increased hair loss that is in the resting or telogen phase and is an indication that the drug stimulates the follicle to produce new hair.

Hair loss may also increase in about 3 months after stopping minoxidil.

The best way to answer this question is that it depends on the type of disease for which minoxidil is used. Minoxidil, when used for a number of conditions, including gyroid alopecia, telogen effluvium and alopecia areata, can be safely stopped when the disease has subsided or the hair has returned to normal levels. In case, though, of male or female alopecia, minoxidil must be administered continuously in order for the treatment to work effectively. As hair loss in men and women is a chronic condition, the drug must be used chronically so that it can continue to provide its benefits.

PRP is produced from your own venous blood and contains a number of growth factors including platelet-derived growth factors, transformative growth factors, vascular endothelial growth factor and epithelial growth factor (platelet-derived growth factors, endothelial growth factors, transforming growth factors). , and epithelial growth factor) .The solution of these growth factors is administered by injection locally and works, in part, by extending the duration of the growth phase, or the regenerative phase of the hair cycle. It has been shown that applying this method can help in various forms of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia, telogen flow and gyroid alopecia.

 

However, in order for this therapeutic method to be effective, it must contain a certain number of platelets, from which all these growth factors will come. A lower number will lead to ineffectiveness, while a number higher than one limit will have the opposite effect, ie it will have a negative effect on the hair follicles. Therefore, the number of platelets of the particular patient to be treated must first be calculated and then the correct solution prepared in an appropriate method and treatment vessels. It is easily understood that this procedure must be performed by a specialist biopathologist and can not be performed and completed by a simple blood sampling and centrifugation in the dermatologist’s office
