HAIR LOSS

Losing around 100 to 200 hairs a day is normal and you have nothing to worry about. However more then this needs to be looked into.

Hormonal changes, shock, stress, depression, illness and poor diet may all lead to excessive hair loss. There are many treatments available these days and most important you should consult your doctor.

Be warry of the expensive treatments. Good diet, vitamisn, minerals and aminos, head massage and relaxation will all help. Nutitional reasons for thinning hair, hair loss or poor hair growth are most likely due to deficiencies of biotin or zinc. Though iodine deficiency and an underactive thyroid gland may also be implicated in hair loss.

Drugs such as oral contreceptive pill, antibiotics may also produce hair loss by destroying hair nutrients. A low protein diet may result in hair loss including loss of gloss and smoothness because the amino acid cysteine found in protein is critical for hair growth and quality.

Sudden loss of hair colour is more likely to be due to defiencies of either vitamin B5, folic acid or biotin and this may be reversed by supplementation with these vitamins though it should be pointed out that premature greying of the hair has a genetic association as does male baldness. Dandruff or a red scalp condition usually responds well to a general anti fungal programme, including an anti dandruff selenium containing shampoo, but should include supplementation with the vitamins B, C, E, Zinc and Evening Primrose oil.

A healthy diet, plenty of water, exercise, adequate sleep together with a proper skin and hair care regime can restore that inner glow of health and wellbeing.
