In the same way as the skin, hair also renews itself every 20-30 days. But when the machine goes into overdrive, the scalp can behave badly… dandruff and falling hair are the most common problems.
Hair hygiene and dandruff?
While some cases of dandruff can be caused by endocrinal disorders or an allergy, pollution, stress, fatigue and unhealthy eating are common aggravating factors. All of these factors can cause the scalp to shed, in other words cause dandruff.
In men with oily hair, the dandruff is often also linked to hair loss. This type of dandruff appears on oily scalps, forming stubborn yellowy scabs, which are often quite itchy. Dry dandruff is those pesky little white flakes with fall like snow from the head and are easily noticed on the shoulders. Dry dandruff is easier to treat than oily dandruff, which is more difficult to get rid of.
Simple anti-dandruff advice
If you are going through a difficult or highly stressed patch, try, as far as possible to stick to a healthy lifestyle:
* Balanced eating;
* Sufficient sleep ;
* Physical exercise.
Look after your hair by washing it at least once a week, using an adapted anti-dandruff treatment.
If your dandruff is accompanied by rashes or itching, it could be seborrhoeic dermatitis or psoriasis. If in doubt, it’s advisable to consult a dermatologist to get a professional diagnosis and a suitable treatment.
The male curse of hair loss
Hair is constantly growing, with some dying and falling while others are born or in a growth phase. Every day we naturally lose between 20 and 100 hairs, which is a normal phenomenon, but which can go amok under certain circumstances. Summer and winter are times of the year when the hair is more easily aggressed by the elements – sun and sea in summer, heating and hats in winter.
Stress, a surgical intervention, prolonger fever or an overly restrictive diet can all provoke hair loss over the following months. In many cases, the lost hair will grow back naturally, but if you are unlucky enough to suffer from androgenic alopecia, your hair will not grow back.
By looking after your hair and lifestyle, you can fight against such occasional hair loss. You’ll need to be patient, as it’s only 3-4 weeks of care (diet, adapted hair product etc.) that you will see a turnaround. So make a little effort and your crowning glory will be back in full force.
Androgenic alopecia and permanent hair loss
Behind this medical term hides a common phenomenon: total or partial baldness, which currently affects millions of British men. This hair loss, also known as male-pattern baldness is due to an over activations of male hormones in certain hair follicles. Genetics play an important role in this male baldness, and in many cases, all the men in a given family will suffer from baldness. In certain severe cases, this permanent hair loss can begin in a young man’s late teens, ending up in total baldness a decade later.
The hair loss will normally start around the temples and then the crown of the head. While there no miracle cure for this hair loss exists, despite what all the marketeers may tell you, if the problem is treated from very early on, the treatment is generally more efficient.
If you are feeling worried about an increase in hair loss, or hair loss that is ongoing, don’t hesitate to speak with a dermatologist, who will be able to prescribe you more specialised products that those that you’ll find in the supermarket or OTC at the chemist.
