What causes hair loss? Hair root and scalp care for healthy and beautiful hair
Why does hair loss occur? "Causes of female hair loss" such as hormones and stress are complicated. When the scalp becomes stiff due to stress, poor blood circulation, and decreased hormone secretion ... The cause of hair loss is the lack of oxygen, blood, and nutrients on the crown and hair roots! ?? Let's prevent hair loss and restore healthy hair with scalp care and simple massage as well as good eating habits and sleep!
What Causes Women's Hair Loss? Prevent hair loss with hair root care
There are various
causes of female hair loss! Pay attention to changes in the hair cycle of
hair roots
"Most of the main causes of men are a disease called alopecia, but it is said that there are various causes of thinning hair in women. One of them is a decrease in female hormones = a decrease in estrogen due to aging. Estrogen is a hormone that is indispensable for maintaining femininity. It is originally present in a woman's body, but it decreases with age. To match it, hair loses elasticity and elasticity. It will end up.
On the other hand, the most common type of thinning hair in men is androgenetic alopecia called alopecia pityroides. The hair cycle is shortened due to heredity and the effects of male hormones, and the symptoms of hair loss and thinning hair progress over many years. There are six types of alopecia of the middle age, depending on the method of hair loss, such as from the hairline, crown, and sled area. Also, women may develop alopecia of middle age due to the influence of a small number of male hormones. "
"In the case of hair loss due to a decrease in female hormones or stress, first be aware of delivering sufficient nutrition to the hair matrix cells in the hair roots that produce hair. A lifestyle that keeps the whole body healthy for beautiful hair. Is important.
[Mind and body the point of life to maintain a healthy]
, regular life and sufficient sleep
moderate exercise habits, such as stretch or walking
to successfully eliminate stress, with mental clear
-drinking is an appropriate amount
protect, nonsmoking habit
- Have a balanced diet
Hair does not grow all the time but has a certain lifespan. After growing, it naturally comes off and new hair is born again from the same pores. This repetition is called the hair cycle, which is divided into the growth period (early and late), catagen period, and telogen period, and the growth period is said to be 2 to 6 years for healthy hair.
In female alopecia that progresses gradually, the hair cycle changes as shown in the illustration above, new hair does not grow easily (the rest period becomes longer), and the hair falls out without sufficient growth. Symptoms such as (shortening the growth period) will be seen. In other words, there is more telogen hair than usual, hair loss progresses, and "hair density" decreases.
To prevent such hair loss and hair loss, try using a female hair growth agent. We also recommend a shampoo that prepares the scalp environment together. "
Healthy hair comes from a healthy scalp
What does it mean to often hear that "shampoo is important to prevent hair loss"?
"Hair is made of hardened skin cells and is made up of hair roots inside the scalp. The hair roots deep inside the scalp have hair matrix cells, which are cells that make hair and repeat cell division. I'm growing my hair.
80 to 90% of hair is in the growing season and is growing every day. And although there are individual differences, the average amount of hair in the USA is around 100,000 for adults, and about 60 to 100 hairs are naturally lost a day.
I mentioned that hair is produced by cell division of hair matrix cells, which are located in the hair root inside the scalp. Nutrients are required for cell division, and the quality of hair produced by the number of nutrients sent from the capillaries leading to the hair roots to the hair matrix cells also changes.
If you are well-nourished, you will grow healthy hair, and if you are undernourished or the scalp environment is not good, you will easily lose hair and grow fine hair. In other words, since the scalp of the state is a major impact on the hair, cleaning the scalp and hair is it important to protect the health of the scalp. "
The daily shampoo is important for growing healthy hair
" Shampoo is the easiest and most suitable way to care for a healthy scalp daily.
[Correct shampoo method] There
are three important points in scalp care: pre-washing, rinsing, and drying. Let's hold down this point and wear the correct shampoo.
1. 1. The combing hair
combed the hair with a brush or comb. If you have tangled hair, gently loosen it. Passing through the comb not only removes dust on the surface but also makes it easier to wash the hair and scalp.
Rinse gently with warm water, just like washing your scalp. Make sure to wash the hairline on the ears, forehead, and other areas that are difficult to wash, such as the back of the head. The finish will change depending on whether or not this process is done carefully. Simply wetting the surface will only penetrate the hair and not the scalp. Make sure that the entire scalp is completely wet and that you can wash it thoroughly.
3. 3. Apply lathered shampoo Lather the shampoo by
hand. If you apply it to your hair without foaming, it will rub against your hair when you wash it, which may damage your hair, so avoid applying shampoo to your hair without foaming. After whipping, rub shampoo into your hair. Instead of attaching it to only one place, attach it to several places. By squeezing it into the hair, it foams even more. First, lather the hair on the surface, then gently and gently with the pad of your finger. Raising your nails will damage your scalp, so use the pad of your finger to squeeze it.
5. Rinse well and rinse
until there are no bubbles. Be aware of the hairline and places that you usually find difficult to wash. Put your finger in the back of your hair and wash it off with the image of spreading hot water over your scalp.
Hair loss is the most serious of all hair problems. Hair loss suddenly increases in the fall and winter, and many people are concerned about thinning hair after giving birth. Too many worries can also affect you, so let's master an outstandingly effective care method!
Q. Why does hair loss suddenly increase in the fall and winter?

A. It's okay if you have about 100
hairs. "It's normal to lose about 50 to 100 hairs a day. Moreover, there is a tendency for hair to grow in the fall and winter, so don't worry too much." (Professor Takahashi)
Q. What care should I take if I start to worry about hair loss?
A. Incorporate care that promotes blood circulation in the scalp

What Causes Women's Hair Loss? Commentary by a female doctor
Anti-aging medicine specialist
Satoko Hamanaka
For those who think that hair loss is still a long way off, let's study women's hair together so that you don't panic at that time.
Hormones and stress "Causes of female hair loss" are complicated
Male hormones are involved in "male pattern baldness (AGA)", which is the most common cause of male hair loss and thinning hair. Since the cause has been clarified to some extent, it seems that the treatment policy has been decided, but on the other hand, women's hair loss and thinning hair ...?
"As with men, the causes of hair loss in women are thought to be" changes in the hormone balance involved in hair growth "and" decreased blood flow, making it difficult for oxygen and nutrients to reach the hair roots. " However, in the background, changes in hormones and changes in life stages unique to women are complicatedly related, and it is difficult to identify “this is the cause” like men. ”(Professor Hamanaka, below Same as in "")
During the lifetime of women, hormones change dynamically during puberty, when menstruation begins, during pregnancy and childbirth, and during menopause. Along with that, it seems that there are several "timings when hair is easy to come off" in a lifetime. Also, environmental stress peculiar to women, such as balancing work and family and family care, is intricately intertwined, leading to hair loss and thinning hair.
What is the "average age" at which hair loss begins? Younger generations should be careful about dieting
Generally, it is around the late 30s that hair loss and thinning hair begin to be anxious. First of all, the texture of the hair changes, causing a decrease in gloss and swelling. And in the 40s, more and more women are experiencing visible changes such as "the parting is transparent", "the amount is reduced when the hair is tied", and "the root does not stand up softly".
"Originally, hair loss and thinning hair is a natural phenomenon that occurs with aging. However, if you go on a rapid diet, your hair will become thin even in the younger generation. Some patients come to our hospital. "
In the younger generation, there are cases where "hairstyle" is related to hair loss.
As a result of continuing to apply load to the same part of the hair such as ponytails and buns, it may lead to hair loss, so even the aesthetic generation should be careful.
What is the season when there is a lot of hair loss? How many hair loss do you need to be careful about?
Have you ever been surprised when you saw the drainage ditch after shampooing and said, "I have so much hair loss today !?"
“Hair naturally falls off the roots after a period of growth, regression, and telogen (hair cycle). An average of 80 to 100 hairs a day is acceptable,” says Dr. Hamanaka. Especially at the turn of the season, hair loss tends to increase. "Especially from the end of summer to the beginning of autumn, hair loss tends to increase due to the effects of UV damage in summer."
It seems that there are individual differences in natural hair loss, but is there a guideline that says, "If you fall out like this, be careful"?
"I think it's a good idea that you can get rid of your hair without doing anything, that multiple hairs will always get caught when you put your finger through the hair, and that you have an unusual amount of hair on your pillow when you wake up in the morning. If it is not a normal phenomenon and such a condition persists, we recommend consulting with a specialist. "
Thinning hair is most noticeable at the "top of the head", "partition", and "temporal"
. It's easy to notice by yourself because you can see it first when you look in the mirror.
"It's hard to notice by yourself around the" tsumuji "on the top of the head. This is also where the amount of hair tends to decrease, and the scalp gradually becomes transparent from the tsumugi to the" parting ". Because the scalp is originally exposed. , When one hair becomes thinner or the number of hairs decreases, the impression that it becomes thinner stands out. "
If you start to worry about the front, the volume of the crown may be actually down! Also, the “side” may be thinner.
"It can be said that the number of pores on the side is originally smaller than that on the back of the head and the top of the head. It seems that many people notice" that "when they brush or raise their hair. The number of pores is fixed by nature and will last a lifetime. It doesn't change. To keep the volume, it is important to keep the function of the hair matrix cells that produce hair and to make each hair thick and healthy. "
Types
of hair loss and thinning, hair that is common in women Women's thinning hair is classified into several types according to the cause and symptoms. The most common is called "diffuse alopecia".
"Diffuse alopecia gradually reduces the amount of hair from the crown to the parting, and eventually becomes thinner overall. Also, FAGA (female androgenetic hair loss), which is especially easy to do with a thin crown-like men Disease), postpartum alopecia, which makes it easier for hair to fall out after childbirth, etc. are known. "
The following are the main types of female hair loss.
Major types and causes of hair loss in women
Diffuse alopecia Hair loss is caused
by various causes such as decreased blood flow and decreased female hormones. It often occurs with aging, and the hair becomes thinner overall.
FAGA (female androgenetic alopecia) Hair loss is caused
by a decrease in hormones due to aging. Unlike men, the line of the hairline does not change, the entire hair becomes thinner, and the crown tends to be particularly transparent.
Postpartum alopecia Hair loss caused
by changes in the number of female hormones secreted before and after childbirth. It will return to normal in about one to one and a half years, but it may be difficult to return if the recovery of physical strength is slow due to high-risk childbirth such as advanced maternal age or multiple births.
Alopecia areata
A type of autoimmune disease in which lymphocytes, which originally protect the body, damage the hair roots and cause hair loss in a circular shape. It occurs regardless of age and is said to involve stress, but there is currently no scientific basis.
Traction alopecia Hair loss caused
by long-term use of the same hairstyle, such as ponytails. It is said that pulling the hair causes the hair follicles to atrophy and the blood flow in the hair roots to be blocked.
Scalp problems
Hair loss occurs from scalp problems, such as the growth of dirt and germs on sebum, and excessive washing that causes dryness.
Alopecia areata is a type of "allergy"
One of the hair loss that occurs regardless of age is "alopecia areata". It occurs in various places including the head, and it is also called "10 yen baldness" because it causes hair to fall out in a circular shape.
"Alopecia areata is a type of allergy, unlike hair loss that accompanies aging. Lymphocytes, which are immune cells, attack hair root cells, which are originally their own companions, as enemies. It happens. Hair loss occurs as a result of damage to the hair roots, but the cause and why the hair is removed in a circular shape are still unknown. "
It is said that stress causes alopecia areata because stress lowers immunity. "But not only because of stress, but alopecia areata is also one of the autoimmune diseases. People with atopy and asthma are more likely to get it."How many hairs are normal? What about the hair cycle?
The cause of thinning hair ... It
takes about 4 to 6 years for the grown hair to come off naturally. And 50 to 80 hairs come out naturally in a day. About 100 is normal. If any of the hairs that have fallen out are thin and short, the hair cannot grow sufficiently due to hormonal imbalance, aging, scalp damage, etc., and suddenly shifts from the "early growth period" to the "regression period". Care is essential to restore the hair cycle.
Healthy roots and hair cycle
□ Long and hard hair comes off
□ About 50 to 80 hairs come off a day
Disordered hair roots/hair cycle
□ Fine and soft hair comes off
□ The number of hairs coming out is conspicuously large
"Food" and "sleep" are important to prevent hair loss
What you can do to prevent hair loss and thinning hair
"Reviewing your eating habits" and "getting a good night's sleep" are the two major points.
“When it comes to food, it's ideal to have a balanced intake of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and carbohydrates. In particular, actively consume the proteins that make hair and the B vitamins that are involved in protein synthesis. If you practice a proper diet, the nutrition will not be distributed to the hair and each hair will become thin. Even if you restrict your diet, I would like you to consider the nutritional balance without overdoing it. "(Professor Hamanaka, below Same as in "")
Make sure you have at least 5-6 hours of sleep each day. If possible, "sleep at night and wake up in the morning" and go to bed and wake up with the rhythm of the sun will help balance the hormones involved in hair growth. "Getting a good night's sleep will help relieve stress, which is one of the causes of hair loss. It is also involved in the secretion of growth hormone that promotes cell growth, so try to get a good night's sleep."
If you are worried about hair loss, it is
also important to "review your daily shampoo habits" as a measure against hair loss that you can review your "shampoo habits" yourself. Shampoo that properly removes dirt and keeps it clean is an important step to prepare the "scalp environment" that can be said to be the foundation of hair. However, if you use a shampoo that has strong detergency even though your scalp is dry, it may cause dryness and damage. If you are worried about hair loss, it is a good idea to switch to a "hypoallergenic shampoo" that contains amino acid-based cleansing ingredients.
Should I shampoo when I'm worried about hair loss, or should I refrain from doing so?
"In terms of cleaning the scalp and keeping it clean, you can wash your hair every day in the summer when you are concerned about sweat and sebum. However, in the winter, depending on the condition and age of your scalp, once a day or once every two days. It's a good idea to adjust the frequency of
Where should I go to the "hospital" if I suffer from hair loss or thinning?
Scalp problems and alopecia areata are generally considered to be in the field of dermatology in the sense that they can be treated within the scope of medical insurance. However, it is also true that there are limits to how to deal with other complex women's thinning hair.
"If possible, I think it would be better to have a hospital with a" hair specialist outpatient ". Not only the condition of the scalp, but also the hormone status can be checked by blood tests, and a specialist doctor can handle thinning hair and hair loss in women. Because it is possible to make multifaceted diagnoses. "
Another characteristic of hair clinics is the wide range of treatment options. Treatments that suit the individual, such as internal and external medicines, supplements, intravenous therapy, and, if necessary, hormone supplementation, will come true.
An example
of hair thinning treatment that can be received at a hospital specializing in hair The following is an example of hair loss / thinning treatment that can be received at a hair outpatient clinic.
Treatment with the drug
there is a treatment with a therapeutic and topical agent by oral medicine. It is mainly prescribed with minoxidil, which is the only one that has been shown to have a hair growth effect. The drug and concentration used will vary depending on the person, but in general, prescription drugs consulted by a doctor have a higher concentration and higher penetration rate than over-the-counter drugs.
Supplements
High-concentration medical supplements supplement nutrients that are often deficient in our daily diet. "Iron," "copper," "zinc," "calcium," and "multivitamin," which promote protein synthesis in hair. Doctor's supplements have a better concentration and absorption rate than commercially available supplements.
Intravenous therapy
Intravenous ingredients are necessary for hair and nail growth. By administering it directly to blood vessels, efficiently supports the effects of internal and external medicines.
Hormone replacement therapy After
examining the number of hormones secreted, a natural hormone cream or the like is used to supplement the deficient hormones.
