What to do with hair loss folk remedies. Home Treatment for Hair Loss

Excessive hair loss is less common in women than in men. However, the perception of the problem is different for both sexes. For women, thinning hair is a real tragedy that requires an immediate response. This is where the question arises: are there effective folk remedies for hair loss.

Why is the hair thinning and how to deal with it

Excessive hair loss often occurs as a result of drying out of the hair follicle, which for a long time did not receive nutrients and oxygen. This process can be physiological. The life cycle of each hair inevitably ends with "old age". Another reason for the degradation of the bulb is the obstructed circulation of blood in the tissues of the head. Disruption of peripheral blood flow can cause muscle cramps with prolonged stress. Deficiency of vitamins and mineral salts in the blood occurs with an unbalanced diet or diseases of the digestive tract.

Hormones can also inhibit the vital functions of hair follicles. That is why many women lose their hair intensively at the beginning of pregnancy, after childbirth, during menopause.

In the case of hormonal changes, the process of thinning the hair is temporary.

The situation is different with endocrine diseases: without the normalization of hormonal levels, it is impossible to stop hair loss. Medication is required for autoimmune and fungal alopecia. Corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, antifungal drugs, B vitamins, ointments with sulfur, zinc, retin, minoxidil, tar help stop baldness. In addition to medications, the trichologist may prescribe physiotherapy procedures.

How to care for weakened hair?

For hair loss, traditional medicine is also effective, especially if you combine various masks and rubbing into the scalp with nutritional correction. Particular attention in the diet should be given to B vitamins, zinc, sulfur, selenium, copper, niacin. The latter has nothing to do with cigarettes. Nicotinic acid, or vitamin PP, has a pronounced vasodilator effect, which improves the nutrition of the hair follicles. It is found in large quantities in peanuts, tomatoes, boiled potatoes, mushrooms, and wild rice.

The treasure of copper is nuts, peas, pasta, lentils, buckwheat. Corn, rice, beans, barley are foods rich in selenium. The main food sources of sulfur are nuts, legumes, cereals, onions and garlic. There is a lot of zinc in peanuts, pine nuts. Vitamins of group B are rich, first of all, in cereals.

Important! Both a deficiency and an overabundance of minerals can lead to a thinning of hair, so you should not thoughtlessly buy and take vitamin complexes.

Treatment of hair loss with folk remedies will not give the desired result if you do not correct the basic mistakes of hair care.

• Try to wash your hair once a week and only with warm water.
• Choose non-harsh shampoos that match your curl type.
• After shampooing, rinse your hair thoroughly.
• At the end, rinse the hair with a decoction of herbs, a solution with lemon juice, apple cider or wine vinegar (1 tablespoon of acid per liter of water).
• Blow dry your hair slightly damp, not wet. Use a heat protectant spray.
• For a while, stop using styling products and ammonia paints.
• Protect hair from sunlight, wind, frost, chlorine.

Do a salt peel on your scalp periodically. The mixture is prepared from fine sea salt (3 tablespoons), warm water (30 ml) and ylang-ylang essential oil (3 drops). Before applying the composition, the hair must be moistened. The scrub is applied only to the scalp and, having massaged the covers for 5-7 minutes, washed off with warm running water.

Sea salt is a natural abrasive, a good exfoliating layer of dead cells. It cleanses the scalp and hair roots from dust, sebum, silicones. The minerals contained in it normalize the work of the sebaceous glands, disinfect, and heal wounds. Ylang-ylang tones the integument. Massage is also a traditional way to strengthen hair roots by improving local blood circulation.

Natural oils for lush and healthy hair

Vegetable oils help from hair loss at home: olive, linseed, wheat germ, jojoba. Castor oil has the ability to awaken "dormant" hair follicles and stimulate the growth of curls. A well-known medicine, in fact, is castor bean oil, a medicinal and garden plant rich in the unique ricinoleic acid. Thanks to this substance, castor oil has an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effect.

It increases the susceptibility of the skin, therefore, castor oil extract gives a more powerful effect in combination with other components: kefir, yolk, onion or parsley juice.

Essential oils are also useful for hair, because they contain a lot of chemically active terpene hydrocarbons. For the same reason, aromatic extracts cannot be used on their own: they can provoke a burn or an allergic reaction. The best way to use ethers is to enrich the base oil with them. The base can be almond, sesame, olive, etc. For each tablespoon of the base take 5-10 drops of "ether".

The best essential oils for hair growth are:

• mustard;
• cinnamon;
• clove;
• rosemary;
• lemon;
• mint;
• sage;
• cypress;
• thyme;
• lavender;
• lupine;
• camphor.

Home hair oil treatment is suitable for dry and normal skin types. The product should be applied to the head while it is warmed up, and then massage the skin with your fingertips for another 3-5 minutes. It is not necessary to distribute the oil along the entire length. You need to keep it on your head from half an hour to an hour. It is necessary to wash your hair with shampoo.

What herbs stop baldness?

The most effective folk remedies to help make the hair thick and strong are pepper tinctures. At the same time, red chili and alcohol are too "passionate" duo, capable of causing an allergic reaction and burns, dry out the skin.

It is safer to treat hair loss with decoctions, water or oil infusions.

Infuses in a corked state and in a dark glass can be stored as long as ordinary oils - from six months to a year. The shelf life of aqueous infusions and decoctions is 2 days if they are in the refrigerator door.

Home remedies for hair loss can be done based on:

• stinging nettle;
• burdock roots (burdock);
• oak bark;
• swamp calamus;
• sage;
• lupine white;
• mother-and-stepmothers;
• hop cones.

How to cure hair with herbs? All traditional methods are designed for regular and long-term use. Even an effective remedy will not give results if you use it less often than once every 3-4 days. Broths and infusions are rubbed into the skin before washing your hair, for 30–45 minutes. The recipe for hair loss is selected individually, taking into account the type of skin and associated problems (dandruff, split ends). For dry and normal hair, infuses are more suitable. For oily hair - water infusions. Treatment with folk remedies lasts at least a month.

The best recipes for baldness masks

The most popular home remedies for hair loss in women are masks. For their preparation, they take hot spices and vegetables, as they activate the local blood circulation. Folk remedies based on ginger, mustard, garlic, onions, and pepper help against hair loss. Tar and mumiyo also have a local irritating effect. So that the hair does not fall out and grow actively, nourishing and moisturizing ingredients are also needed. These include: honey, kefir, vegetable oil, yolk.

Homemade masks for hair loss:

• For oily hair. Add 10 ml of almond oil and a teaspoon of ground spices to liquid honey (2-3 tablespoons): cinnamon, red pepper, cloves. Action time - an hour.
• For dry hair. 2 table. l. mix chopped horseradish with a tablespoon of sour cream and the same amount of burdock (olive) oil. Action time - 40 minutes.
• For normal hair. Combine chicken yolk with a tablespoon of mustard powder and 30 ml of strong tea. The action lasts a third of an hour.
• Universal mask. Mix equal proportions of honey and burdock oil. Beat and add egg. Add a teaspoon of grated ginger root. Action time - half an hour.

A folk remedy for hair loss must be preheated in a water bath. It should be applied before washing and only on the scalp. Then they put on a plastic cap, make a "turban" from a bath towel. The created greenhouse effect enhances the effect of the masks. After the allotted time, the composition must be washed off with warm water using shampoo.

What if you feel a burning sensation? All anti-hair loss masks are aggressive, therefore, before the first use, they must be tested on the inside of the wrist.

Both slight redness and a feeling of heat are the norm, confirming that the blood circulation in the skin has increased. It's another matter when the composition burns a lot. It needs to be rinsed off immediately and applied with a soothing oil such as sea buckthorn. To prevent strands from falling out, a suitable mask should be applied twice a week for 2 months. Hair treatment with folk remedies must be supplemented with drugs prescribed by a trichologist. Avoiding a visit to the doctor is not worth it - he will help to clearly diagnose and solve the problem.

Hair renewal is a natural process. Up to 100 hairs fall out daily, while the curls retain their former density. This is due to the constant growth of new hair, which replaces the lost hair. The problem appears in two situations: when hair loss increases or hair regrowth worsens. Both local pathological changes and diseases of the body as a whole can lead to this. To find the best way to get rid of hair loss, you need to find out and eliminate the cause of the pathology in each case.

Causes

The factors that lead to excessive hair loss or baldness (alopecia) are not so difficult to determine in many cases:

1. Alopecia in men is a genetically determined condition. In this case, the hair follicles react to male hormones in a certain way. As a result, terminal hairs are first replaced by short vellus hairs, and after 10 years they completely disappear. Much less often, androgenetic alopecia occurs in women, but it is manifested by a strong thinning of hair along the central parting.
2. Women are more prone to diffuse alopecia - hair loss, evenly distributed over the entire surface. This condition can be caused by many reasons:
   • endocrine disorders in thyroid pathology, Cushing's syndrome, ovarian sclerocystosis;
   • hormonal disruption due to the abolition of oral contraceptives after prolonged use;
   • physiological hormonal changes during pregnancy, as well as during menopause;
   • diseases of the liver and gastrointestinal tract, renal pathology;
   • iron deficiency anemia;
   • cervical osteochondrosis - pinching of the nerve endings leads to impaired blood circulation and deterioration of the nutrition of the hair follicles;
   • psychological stress;
   • intoxications associated with bad habits - for example, nicotine harms hair and skin even more than the lungs and liver;
   • stress factors that weaken the body (surgery, severe infections, prolonged fever, chronic diseases);
   • an unbalanced or excessively strict diet, as well as fasting - the lack of essential amino acids is especially unfavorable for the condition of the hair;
   • deficiency of trace elements - iron, zinc, sulfur, magnesium, silicon, selenium, as well as vitamins, especially C, A, E, group B;
   • adverse effects of environmental factors - ultraviolet radiation, low or high temperatures, chlorinated water;
   • taking medications, in particular antibiotics, antidepressants and some others.
3. Hair loss due to scalp problems. In adolescence, seborrhea is most often the cause of the problem due to increased production of secretion by the sebaceous glands. The result can be the development of seborrheic dermatitis, accompanied by hair loss and itching. If you do nothing, the process can cause consequences similar to androgenic alopecia. Seborrhea can occur at any age and be associated, in particular, with diseases of the digestive system, as well as improper care. Hair can fall out due to skin diseases: dermatomycosis, furunculosis.
4. With alopecia areata, there are separate foci of baldness not only of the head, but also of the eyebrows, beard, and trunk. As the disease progresses, the zones can grow and merge. The cause of the pathology is not fully understood. Spontaneous hair restoration is often observed, but in every tenth case, the disease leads to significant baldness.
5. One of the side effects of chemotherapy treatments is intense hair loss. The end of the course of therapy leads to their gradual recovery.
6. Hair can fall out due to the abuse of aggressive cosmetic procedures (curling, styling, lightening, hot air of a hairdryer), as well as the use of low-quality cheap products for care and coloring. Rough combing, preference for hair-pulling hairstyles, constant friction, the use of bouffants, and wearing tight hats are of no small importance.

Treatment methods

If the cause of the problem is clear, it is not difficult to find a way to get rid of scalp hair loss in most situations. In any case, it is necessary to pay increased attention to hair care, reduce the negative influence of external factors and balance your diet.

Care features

Compliance with simple rules of hair care will help to significantly reduce hair loss, and in simple situations, solve the problem completely:

• You need to wash your hair with a quality shampoo that matches your hair type. It is advisable to use it not too often, as needed. But in the case of increased oily hair and in the presence of seborrhea, the head sometimes needs to be washed daily or every other day. In such a situation, you need to use shampoo for frequent use, without harmful components - lauryl sulfate and parabens. At the pharmacy, you can buy remedies that fight various causes of hair loss. Since the problem may be related to the quality of the tap water, it is advisable to use filtered or boiled water to wash your hair.
• You need to try not to harm your hair even more with varnishes, mousses to fix the hairstyle. It is especially dangerous to use them in winter - the hardened varnish leads to the formation of multiple kinks along the hair shaft. It is worth refraining from hot drying with a hairdryer - you need to choose a gentle mode, or even better, dry your head at room temperature, gently touching the strands with your fingers and gently massaging the skin. It is required to give up at least for a while from lightening hair. Coloring, if necessary, should be carried out with high-quality products without ammonia, and even better, tint the hair with henna, basma. Tint tonics have a more gentle effect in comparison with resistant paints. If your hair has noticeably thinned, you should not risk it and curl your hair. The use of a curling iron and an iron to straighten hair should also be abandoned.

Folk recipes

A good effect can be obtained using folk remedies that strengthen hair:

• After washing, it is recommended to rinse your head with medicinal broths (based on hop cones, burdock rhizomes, nettle, string, chamomile), a good effect is obtained by using water acidified with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.
• For a long time in Russia, hair was strengthened using simple recipes: an hour before washing, onion or garlic juice was applied to the scalp, and a mask with burdock oil and ground burdock root was also made.
• Our grandmothers often used raw chicken eggs or rye bread to wash their hair. You should definitely try these options, allowing your hair to rest from shampoo at least occasionally. Rye bread is diluted with water to a gruel state, applied to the hair and then washed off. It is recommended to rinse with lemon acidified water.
• A good effect can be obtained from using a balm with olive oil and lemon juice. By the 5th Art. the juice of half a lemon is added to tablespoons of slightly heated oil. The mixture is rubbed into the skin at night, the hair is wrapped, and in the morning they are washed with shampoo. You need to repeat the procedure 4 times a month.
• Another option for homemade balm is a mixture of spinach, kale and lemon juices, taken equally. Rub in the product once a week. Balm with cucumber and cabbage juices is good for oily hair. You can strengthen your hair with carrot juice and lemon juice mixed in equal proportions. The vitamin mixture is applied to the hair and skin 2 hours before washing and cover the head with a towel.
• Homemade lotion works well for hair loss and seborrhea. 25 g of onion husks and 5 g of ground cloves are insisted on alcohol (200 g) for a week. The mixture is gently applied to the skin once a week. Recommended for oily hair.
• One of the simplest recipes, but no less effective, is a kefir mask. It is better to use it 2 hours before shampooing. You can add honey and brewer's yeast to the mask.
• To enhance hair growth, use the juice of aloe, parsley, nettle, geranium. Herbal remedies are highly effective, but addictive develops. Therefore, it is best to use these or those juices, infusions, decoctions in turn, then the results of treatment will be the best.

Strengthening health

The quality of nutrition directly affects the condition of the hair. Therefore, you need to take care of your diet, enriching it with sources of vitamins, minerals and amino acids and excluding harmful foods. Vegetables, fruits, fresh juices, dairy products are welcome. Fried, fatty, spicy foods, preservatives, dyes, unnatural ingredients in products are not recommended. The drinking regime should include 1.5–2 liters of liquid, including clean, high-quality water.

Correct daily routine, exercise, good rest and sleep, walks in the fresh air will help you from hair loss. All this not only helps to improve physical health, but also strengthens the nervous system. If, nevertheless, stress is a frequent companion, you can use herbal decoctions (based on mint, lemon balm, motherwort, valerian), use relaxing techniques.

Hair condition will improve after giving up bad habits. Over time, as a result of the cessation of the intake of harmful substances with toxic and narcotic effects, the body is cleansed with the subsequent normalization of metabolic processes. It is possible to speed up the recovery processes with the help of special methods of cleansing the intestines, liver, blood vessels. There are many effective cleansing methods in traditional medicine and yoga practice. In the presence of chronic pathologies, before carrying out the techniques, you need to consult a doctor.

If hair continues to fall out in spite of everything, or if you feel unwell, a medical examination is necessary. Perhaps hair loss is a symptom of an illness, and special treatment is indispensable.

Androgenic alopecia with therapeutic methods can only be treated in the initial stages. When a bald spot has formed, the hair follicles undergo fibrosis and cannot be repaired. Hair transplantation in such a situation is the only treatment option.
Hair loss due to chemotherapy is reversible. Vitamins can slow down the process, especially B group drugs.
Taking care of your hair is not that difficult. Compliance with the rules of care, good nutrition of the hair from the outside and from the inside, protection from harmful effects, preservation of health and optimism, good rest - will allow you to maintain lush and beautiful hair for many years.

Folk remedies for hair loss are quite effective in a number of cases. If the cause of the problem is not a serious illness, then special masks, herbal infusions and wraps are quite capable of restoring curls in all their shine.

Reasons for loss

Hair doesn't last forever. Its growth period is very long - from 1 to 4 years, the conservation stage takes only 20 days, and the dormant period, when the hair follicle prepares for the production of a new hair, takes 90–120 days. About 93% of the follicles are simultaneously in the first stage, which ensures constant density and splendor of the hair.

The number of hairs that fall out depends on the color of the curls. Blondes have thin hair, but the number of hair follicles is much larger. As a result, with daily combing, blond beauties lose up to 80-100 hairs. In brunettes, the hair shaft is thicker, and the bulbs are smaller, so 60–70 pieces remain on the black-haired girl's comb. Red hairs have the thickest, and the least amount of bulbs, so their "loss" is minimal - 40-50 hairs.

If there are noticeably more hairs on the brush and their number does not decrease in a week, measures must be taken. In order to decide what to do, it is very important to establish the true cause of the loss.

• Mechanical damage is the most common problem and the easiest to solve. Frequent use of curls, irons, hair dryers leads to dehydration and dryness, and the latter makes the hair break off. In fact, a woman loses strands that technically did not come out of the growth period. Accordingly, a new hair will not appear in their place soon. The best remedy for hair loss is the absence of these unfavorable factors.

The same applies to dyeing and perm, and it is suggested to act in the same way: avoid dyeing for at least six months and carry out restorative procedures. This will not bring back the lost curls, but it will preserve and heal the existing hairs.

• Unbalanced nutrition - alas, an elementary lack of trace elements and vitamins very quickly affects the condition of the curls and skin. In this case, caring procedures alone cannot be dispensed with, since nutrition of the hair follicles is possible only through the blood. It is necessary to revise the diet.

• Diseases - hormonal in nature or associated with disturbances in the work of the endocrine system. Without treatment, even the most effective remedies are powerless.
• Age problems - on average, women between the ages of 40 and 50 lose about 20% of their hair. This is due to a decrease in the activity of hair follicles.

• Alopecia - in fact, refers to hormonal disruptions, but it has the greatest impact on the condition of the hair. Loss of strands is associated with insufficient production of estrogen and excessive production of dihydrotestosterone, which leads to suppression of the activity of hair follicles located on the head, and activation of others, for example, in the mouth area - antennae.

How to determine the cause

Not all diseases have pronounced symptoms, which makes diagnosis difficult. It is not at all easier to determine which microelements are missing in the diet. To understand if there is a natural loss of hair or there is a pathology, it is recommended to conduct a couple of simple tests.

• A hair that has fallen out is with a dark pouch at the end - the root. Broken off is not considered as such. Therefore, when assessing the loss, it is the first option that is considered. To assess the loss, you need to refrain from washing your hair for 3 days, and then try to pull the bundles at the top of the head or near the temples. If, at the same time, more than 5 fallen hairs with roots remain in the hands - there is reason for alarm.

As a rule, after dyeing and perming, it is the broken hairs that remain on the comb. In this case, despite their number, nothing terrible happens with the hair, but you need to refrain from staining and take measures to strengthen the strands.

• The second test tries to calculate the daily loss. To do this, refrain from washing your hair for 3 days, and in the morning 4 carefully recount all the hairs found on the pillow. Then the curls are washed in the usual way, and all the lost hairs are collected and counted in the bathroom. The same is done after the natural drying of the hair and combing. If the total amount is within 50-100 hairs, there are no pathologies.

Oil masks to restore curls

How to strengthen hair with folk remedies? There are a lot of ways. This problem is not modern, so traditional medicine contains many useful recipes. They are selected based on the type of skin and hair.

Most of the recipes are based on the use of some kind of base oil - burdock, castor, almond. Any of them can be used as an independent remedy against severe hair loss, however, they are especially effective in the composition of masks.

• - mix honey, egg yolk and burdock oil until a homogeneous consistency is obtained. You can add a healing balm. The mask is applied to the entire length of the hair and held for at least an hour. Warm wrap is desirable. The composition is washed off with shampoo, since the oil is quite heavy.

• An olive oil-based mask is effective against hair loss: 50 ml of it is heated in a water bath and rubbed into the scalp. Wrap the braids with a towel and leave overnight. In the morning they wash their hair in the usual way. It is advisable to carry out the procedure 2 times a week.
• Lavender mask - add 5-8 drops of lavender to 40 ml of olive oil. The mixture is heated in a water bath, applied to the scalp and washed off after 30–40 minutes.

It is very easy to carry out such procedures at home, and their effect manifests itself rather quickly: after 2-3 weeks, the strands will regain their shine and elasticity. The restoration of the density will, of course, take longer.

Tips to help you avoid hair loss with folk and affordable remedies:

Other masks

Most of the non-oil masks are designed to work on the scalp. Their components in some way irritate the skin in order to improve blood circulation, which means that they provide better nutrition to the hair follicles.

• A mask with birch and garlic juice is more difficult to perform. Aloe, birch and garlic juice, as well as honey and yolk are mixed in equal amounts. The total volume should be small: the mask is used immediately, the composition cannot be stored. The resulting homogeneous mass is applied to the hair roots, wrapped and kept for at least 2 hours, then the residues are washed off with warm water. An excellent addition is rinsing with a decoction of birch leaves.

Herbal infusions

Treatment of weakened hair is possible with the help of herbal infusions and decoctions. Such procedures are carried out more often - even every day. The course is at least a month.

• Burdock decoction - the dried leaves of the plant are crushed, 10-15 g of raw materials are poured with 500 ml of water and brought to a boil. The broth is applied to the hair roots every day at any time of the day. There is no need to wash off.

Folk remedies for hair loss and drying out are very diverse and quite effective. Recipes for different hair and skin types allow you to take care of your hair at home.

Every hour our head loses a few hairs. Normally, a daily loss of up to hundreds of pieces is permissible. Hair that has stopped growing leaves its place to give way to new ones. Thus, the cover is constantly renewed without a noticeable loss of density.

When the mechanism for replacing the vegetation of the head is disrupted for some reason, the person notices that the hair has begun to fall out a lot, and the head of hair has noticeably thinned. If the situation is serious, its natural result is complete or partial baldness. Whether it can be prevented, and what to do if hair falls out very much, depends on the cause of the pathology. In most cases, hair loss is a reason for a medical examination.

The hairline is an organ that is sensitive to the state of the body. Hair reacts to poor nutrition, diseases, hormones, external influences and stress: from changes in the structure and appearance of the hair to the appearance of visible foci of baldness.

Let's highlight the main groups of reasons why hair falls out a lot:

1. Errors in hair and scalp care. The use of unsuitable cosmetics, aggressive coloring, frequent drying with a hot hair dryer and other factors negatively affect the hair shafts and roots, disrupt the nutrition and blood circulation of the scalp. Minimizing the negative impact and measures to restore hair help eliminate increased hair loss, which in this case is more related to cosmetic defects than to ill health. This group also includes exposure to cold, wind, sun - the head must be protected from climatic factors so as not to expose the skin to hypothermia, overheating and harmful ultraviolet radiation.
2. Diseases of the scalp. Dermatitis, seborrhea, fungal infections often lead to weakening of the roots and hair loss.
3. 
   Chronic illnesses and unhealthy habits. Poor blood supply to the bulbs is the result of vascular spasms that arise both for objective reasons, for example, due to cardiovascular pathology, osteochondrosis, and as a result of smoking, caffeine and alcohol abuse.
4. Weakened immunity. Long-term illnesses, taking antibiotics, disturbed intestinal microflora are not the best way to affect the condition of the hair.
5. Deficiency of vitamins and minerals. The main reason for this condition is unhealthy diet, diet, and seasonal vitamin deficiencies.
6. Physiological reasons. Active hair loss can occur due to natural causes. In particular, in women, fluctuations in the hormonal background associated with pregnancy, taking oral contraceptives lead first to an increase in the density of the hair, and then to "molting" against the background of the so-called withdrawal effect. So, at the time of bearing a child, female hormones slow down the development of follicles, delaying them in the growth phase. Hair falls out a lot after childbirth, when the effect of estrogen returns to normal, and all non-fallen hair begins to "crumble" with a vengeance. Contraceptive hormones work in a similar way.
7. 
   Hormonal Disorders. Unlike natural fluctuations in hormonal levels, endocrine pathologies are not the norm, and baldness caused by one of these diseases can be irreversible. Problems with the thyroid gland, imbalance of sex hormones in both men and women contribute to thinning hair. A woman's hair falls out strongly with hyperandrogenism, in a strong half of humanity, the male hormone dihydrotestosterone is also the culprit for alopecia. In hormonal baldness, a hereditary factor plays a large role.
8. Medicinal effects. A number of drugs cause a negative reaction of the body, from allergic to toxic, as a result of which the hair follicles are damaged. Antihypertensive drugs, antidepressants, chemotherapeutic substances have a strong effect on follicles.
9. Anemia. Pathological iron deficiency in the body is accompanied by low hemoglobin, weakness, increased fatigue and drowsiness. Outwardly, this disease is expressed by dull, pale skin and sparse hair.
10. Stress. Chronic stress is one of the factors of vasospasm in the head and poor nutrition of the follicles.

What to do if hair falls out badly?

Baldness treatment aims at 2 goals: to stop hair loss and to intensify hair regrowth. To solve these problems, first of all, it is necessary to determine the cause of alopecia. In addition to a trichologist (dermatologist), it is necessary to be examined by a gastroenterologist, endocrinologist, gynecologist and other specialists according to indications. In some cases, it is required:

• correction of hormonal levels - with endocrine disorders, menopause in women;
• the use of medications (for example, antifungal drugs);
• other specific treatment that only a doctor can prescribe.

Pharmacology against baldness

Today there are quite serious drugs for alopecia, the use of which is justified only in difficult situations:

1. Minoxidil is a topical steroid for men and women. Stops age-related and hormonal hair loss, slowing down their life cycle, as a result of systematic rubbing into the scalp for six months or longer. It is sold in two versions - 2 and 5% of the active ingredient. After the termination of admission, the effect of cancellation follows.
2. Spironolactone is an effective medication for the treatment of female alopecia during menopause. The first results appear after a few weeks from the beginning of the intake. The drug has a number of serious side effects, including teratogenic, therefore it is prohibited for use by women of reproductive age. Sold by prescription only.
3. Propecia (Finasteride) is an expensive pill for the treatment of male pattern baldness. Stops hair loss and promotes the growth of the cover on the head, but at the same time negatively affects the sexual function of a man. Reduces the production of dihydrotestosterone, a male sex hormone responsible for shrinking active hair follicles. It is used in combination with Minoxidil.
4. Cimetidine is a drug with the effect of blocking histamine in the body, it is prescribed for women with androgenic alopecia, since it has an antiandrogenic effect.
5. Oral contraceptives are a series of pills that help to normalize hormonal levels in women. Reduces the production of male sex hormones in the ovaries and increases the level of estrogen in the blood, which helps to stop hair loss associated with excess androgens. Prescribed by a gynecologist, the most common pills from this group are Zhanin, Yarina, Diane-35.
6. Hormone replacement therapy is a course of treatment with steroid drugs intended for women of climacteric age. Replenish estrogen deficiency in the body, fight the manifestations of menopause, including hair loss.

The doctors' comments on the treatment of severe hair loss with hormonal drugs indicate the insufficient effectiveness of this method, since there is a high risk of serious side effects and continued baldness when the course of therapy is stopped.

Vitamin therapy

Taking vitamins is a prerequisite for effective treatment of alopecia. A deficiency of vitamins and minerals by itself can provoke increased hair loss. If hypovitaminosis is the main cause of the disease, vitamin therapy can stop thinning and strengthen the hair follicles.

In other types of baldness, the saturation of the body with the necessary substances is also important. Since nutrition is not able to quickly and effectively fill the deficiency, vitamins are used in medicinal form - in the form of tablets and injections:

• A, F and B5 help to strengthen the hair roots;
• B1 - helps to resist stress;
• B2 - restores damaged follicles;
• B3 and B6 - improve metabolic processes in the scalp;
• biotin - activates hair growth;
• B8 - helps the absorption of other vitamins;

2. Hair Expert - a line of products from the Evalar company based on keratin, yeast and vitamins. Stimulates hair growth.
3. Pantovigar - cures baldness by strengthening the bulbs. It contains yeast, vitamins, minerals, keratin.
4. Revalid is a multivitamin complex that has a beneficial effect on the condition of the hair.

Transplantation is a radical treatment for hair loss. It is used in cases of irreversible alopecia, mainly in men, but it can also be indicated for women. The procedure consists in obtaining material from the area with preserved hair growth (back of the head, beard) and implanting it in the area of ​​baldness.

The operation is long and expensive, but effective. There are other methods of surgical treatment of baldness - flap plastics, removal of bald patches, but they are more traumatic and limited to a small number of indications.

In case of hair loss, regular procedures are recommended to activate the blood supply to the hair follicles. In order for the follicles to receive sufficient oxygen and nutrition, it is necessary to improve microcirculation in the scalp with the help of massage, physiotherapy and salon procedures:

• frequent brushing with a massage brush;
• self-massage of the scalp with fingers dipped in burdock, castor, almond and other oils;
• the use of a laser comb, acting with light beams directly on the hair follicles;
• ozone therapy - deep oxygenation of the scalp and follicles;
• cryotherapy - activation of the activity of follicles due to shock exposure to low temperatures;
• : hyaluronic acid, vitamins, vasodilators, antioxidants, etc.;
• plasmolifting - the introduction of altered plasma into the scalp, which leads to the enrichment and purification of the bloodstream;
• iontophoresis - delivery of medicinal substances to the deep layers of the skin by exposure to a weak current;
• myostimulation - "charging" for the skin and muscles of the head with low-pulse currents to restore their tone, enhance microcirculation and improve metabolic processes.
