Understand Hair Loss :
Where it begins. Main Causes.
Normal Hair Loss is 50 to 100 hairs daily. Your hair is continually
falling out and re-growing. This hair loss and hair growth cycle
repeats itself between 10 to 20 times in a lifetime. The loss of
more than 100 hairs daily for a period of months is excessive,and
can lead to ALOPECIA (total or partial baldness). You may have more
than just one factor involved with your particular condition. In
fact, it is quite common to have multiple causes of hair loss.
HORMONAL : DHT YOUR HAIR WORST ENEMY
This is the most common form of Male and Female Pattern Baldness
and the most damaging process in hair loss. Your body naturally
produces the hormone testosterone. It happens in everyone. When
testosterone mixes with the Sebum/dirt substance that is impacted
in your follicle, it creates a powerful substance called DHT.
DHT is the real enemy of hair growth and retention. When formed,
DHT causes the follicle to begin shutting down, and basically, the
follicle dies a slow death. This type of hair loss is commonly known
as Androgenetic Alopecia. What makes this worse is that your bodies
immune system senses the follicle is dying, and as part of its defense
system, tries to further shut it down and get rid of it (as it would
a cold or flu). What effect does a dying, clogged follicle have
on an actual hair strand? If you pulled out a hair strand from your
follicle, and looked at the root end of the hair strand under a
microscope, you would see the hardened sebum/dirt substance on the
root of the strand. What you are seeing is just a small amount of
this material. The rest of it is in the hair follicle. At the root
of every strand of hair is a bulb. When Sebum builds up in the follicles,
it deteriorates the bulb of the hair. Slowly, the bulbs get smaller,
and because of this, your hair is not rooted as well and the hair
strand falls out. Then another hair strand grows from the follicle,
but this hair strand is thinner and weaker than the last one. This
process repeats itself, with the next hair getting thinner and the
bulb smaller each time the old one falls out. This is why most men
and women experience thinning hair as they are losing it. The unfortunate
ending is a hair follicle so damaged from Sebum, bacteria, and DHT
production that the follicle dies.
 The
reduction of "DHT" levels in the scalp tissue is critical
in stopping hair loss.
INSUFFICIENT VASCULAR CIRCULATION
Hair grows from follicles beneath the skin. The base of the follicle,
the derma papilla, has a bulb like shape. The growth of healthy
hair can be negatively effected by an inadequate supply of blood
to the derma papilla. Multi-Factors stimulates a rich flow of blood
to the scalp tissue in order to bring Oxygen, Vitamins, Nutrients,
Essential Fatty Acids, Proteins, Anti-Oxidants, and Amino Acids
to the derma papilla and hair follicles. Enervating Micro Circulation
is essential in stopping hair loss and promoting healthy hair growth.
SEBUM
Sebum is an oily, waxy like substance that is secreted to the scalp
tissue by Sebacaceous Glands. Sebum actually plays an important
role in the health of your scalp, but overproduction of Sebum caused
by stress (this is a major cause of Hair Loss And Sebum Buildup
Loss In Women) and a diet high in animal fat creates excess Sebum
secretion. When the sebum leaves your underlying scalp layer, it
reaches the surface of your scalp and mixes with the dirt and hair
care product residues. Because the sebum is now on your scalp and
exposed to air, it hardens (oxidizes) and creates a thick, black,
tar like substance. This hardened substance clogs your hair follicle
entrance. The bacteria in this substance damages the follicle and
is one of the major causes of hair loss.(For those of you who do
not know, the hair follicles are the millions of little canals in
your scalp in which your hair grows from.) After years of this occurring
(your whole life), the tar-like material becomes impacted in the
follicle. The result is blockage of nutrient absorption to the follicle,
thus impeding hair growth. This type of problem is a major hair
loss cause that can be stopped.
