stressand smoking a couple
of packs of ciggarettes a
week my hair is thin, now. I
wanted to know if after
quiting smoking and the
stress stops if your hair can

ANSWER :
The Truth About Hair Loss
It is normal to shed hair every day and the truth is we loose
between 100-125 hairs on any given day. Hair that is shed falls
out at the end of growth cycle. At any given time 10% of our hair
is in what is called a
“resting phase” and after 2-3 months resting, hair falls out and
new hair grows in its place. Some people, however, experience
more hair loss than is normal.
As we get older, both men and women experience some hair loss.
It’s a normal part of the aging process. Called Androgenetic
Alopecia, it accounts for 95% of all hair loss. Androgentic
Alopecia often runs in families and affects some people more than
others. In men it is often referred to as Male Pattern Baldness.
It is characterized by a receding hair line and baldness on the top
of head. Women, on the other hand, don’t go entirely bald even if
their hair loss is severe. Instead, hair loss is spread out evenly
over their entire scalp.
Hormones play the dominant role when talking about
Androgenetic Alopecia. Simple put, both men and women
produce testosterone. Testosterone can be converted to
dihydrotestosterone (DHT) with the aid of the enzyme 5-alpha-
reductase. DHT shrinks hair follicles causing the membranes in
the scalp to thicken, become inelastic and restrict blood flow.
This causes the hair follicles to atrophy. As a result, when a
hair does fall out, it is not replaced.
Needless to say, men produce more testosterone than women
and experience more hair loss.While Androgenetic Alopecia is
the number one reason why individuals experience hair loss, it
is not the only one. Medical conditions such as hypothyroidism,
ringworm and fungal infections can cause hair loss. Certain
medications such as blood thinners, gout medication, birth
control pills and too much vitamin A can cause sudden or
abnormal hair loss as can following a crash diet, sudden
hormonal changes, chemotherapy and
radiation.
Emotional stress, pregnancy, or surgery can also cause our
hair to fall out and is usually not noticed until 3-4 months
after the stressful event has taken place. Stress can cause a
slowing of new hair growth because a
larger number of hair follicles enter into the resting phase
Another way in which individuals experience hair loss is due to
mechanical stressors on the hair and scalp. Wearing pigtails,
cornrows or tight rollers that end up pulling on the hair can scar the
scalp and cause
permanent hair loss. Hair products such as hot oil treatments and
chemicals used for permanents can cause inflammation to the hair
follicles which can also result in scarring and hair loss. The best and
healthy way to product your hair is ARGAN oil and ARGANRain anti
hair loss shampoo.
