How to Prevent & Treat Hair Loss

Nov 15, 2023Isobelle van Zyl

We all want to look and feel our best, but when you’re experiencing thinning hair and hair loss, it can seem like looking your best is but a dream. Since it’s more helpful understanding the “WHY?” of something happening before trying to fix it, let us look at the causes of hair loss, thinning hair and the best ways to treat it.


Causes of Hair Loss and Thinning Hair?

There are many causes of hair loss, with the most common being androgenetic alopecia which is genetic. Age is a big factor and unfortunately, we cannot do anything about aging but we can do something to slow its progress. We naturally lose about 50 to 100 strands of hair each day. The same follicles will continue to regrow those lost hairs over and over. But as we age, some of those follicles will stop working. But don’t worry. Most of these causes are treatable.

Male and Female Pattern Baldness

Both men and women can experience pattern baldness. This loss is called androgenetic alopecia and it’s in our genes. Hormone deficiencies or changes can also cause androgenetic alopecia but most likely, you inherited it. Some young men do experience pattern baldness but over 60% of all men over age 50 will experience some sort and for women, it is 40%.

For men, androgenetic alopecia will affect their hair starting from the hairline towards the back of the head. Ladies can expect to see it more on the crown of the head. For both males and females, there are solutions and we’ll be looking at those shortly.

Alopecia Areata

Some people experience hair loss in round patches on their scalps, eyebrows, facial hair, or any place on the body with hair. This is called alopecia areata and it is either hereditary or related to environmental factors.

Additional Causes of Hair Loss

Diet, stress, vitamin D deficiency, and even pregnancy can play a huge role in hair loss and hair thinning problems. Stress can be difficult to deal with and it can affect us in so many negative ways. It’s important to manage your stress for a variety of reasons. Warding off hair loss is just one. While vitamin D deficiency can be related to diet, we also obtain it from exposure to the sun. So yes, get outside and enjoy that sunshine!. Finally, pregnancy can be a cause of hair loss. But don’t worry as there are ways to restore your hair and healthy shine you had before pregnancy.
