From Fabulous to Disastrous: The Beauty Rituals that Cause Hair Damage
Naomi Campbell is a walking proof that this is no myth.
We do a lot of things to our hair because it can make us look a lot better for a lot less. From heat styling to chemical treatments, our hair can practically take any vanity habit. However, there is a limit to the things we can do to it. Too much hair grooming can become counterproductive. We discuss the hair styling practices that can cause the most problematic and depressing of all hair problems — alopecia.
Wearing tight hairstyles While there are different ways we could lose our hair, the simplest method is to wear tight ponytails on a regular basis. Ponytails inflict too much traction on the hair follicles, resulting in folliculitis, which in turn causes spot baldness. Cornrows, tight chignons, and dreadlocks may also cause hair loss.

Stop Hair Fall and Support Hair Growth
Although a number of hair loss products are struggling to win the battle of hair loss, experts say that natural hair loss treatment can yield some of the best benefits for anyone concerned about the health of their hair.
Essential fatty acids support skin and hair growth. Omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids are useful in maintaining healthy hair. By increasing these levels of essential fatty acids, one can stop hair fall and thereby slow down hair loss.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids also play a big part in growth and development, especially brain function. These fatty acids help to maintain bone health, regulate metabolism and maintain the reproductive system. The body needs essential fatty acids but it can’t produce it on its own. Omega-3 fatty acids, which help to reduce inflammation, are abundantly found in fish and olive oil. They are also found in whole grains, fruits and vegetables, garlic and wine. Omega-6 fatty acids are found in vegetable oils.
Omega-3 fatty acids can help with blood circulation and cell growth, which are useful for your hair follicles. They help to increase nutrient absorption at the hair follicles, reduce stress and enhance the immune system. A deficiency in essential fatty acids produces symptoms such as dry, scaly or flaky skin, dandruff, dry, brittle hair or eczema. All of which may lead to hair loss.

Stop Hair Fall 101
Hair loss doesn’t have to happen—it’s as simple as that. If you want to learn how to prevent hair loss, become proactive. The best way to stop hair fall is to take good care of your hair. There are several ways on how you can nurture your hair to keep your beautiful and healthy locks.
The following are some special pointers:
Keep your hair clean.
The most essential thing that you should remember is to always keep your hair clean. Wash your hair regularly especially after you put on hair products like gels, hair sprays, creams or lotions. You also need to use mild and natural shampoo and conditioner that are especially made for your hair type.
Protect your hair from possible damage caused by the sun.
Dust and direct sunlight damage the hair. So as much as possible, cover your head when you are outdoors. You can use hats or scarfs to protect your hair from too much exposure to the sun.
Let your hair dry naturally.
Hair is at its weakest when it is wet. Never rub a towel on wet hair and do not comb it vigorously. However, you can wrap the towel on your hair after bathing but do not make it too tight. After a few minutes, take the towel off and let your hair dry in natural air. Use wide-toothed comb when combing wet hair. Also avoid the use of hair blower and hair brush because it makes the hair dry.

Stop Hair Fall by Using the First Line of Defense
Hair loss could be one unfortunate event in a person’s life. For most men and women, hair loss is just another part of aging and is often genetically predisposed. Hormonal fluctuations due to menopause and pregnancy can cause women to lose more hair than usual.
The first line of defense to stop hair fall is to be as gentle on your hair as possible. One of the worst hair loss culprits is being too rough with your hair. In bathing, use a very gentle shampoo and wash your hair only when it is absolutely necessary. Shampooing your hair strips it of its natural oils, leaving it weaker and more susceptible to damage and breakage. Use a conditioner with a moisturizing or anti-breakage formula. In styling, avoid using a brush or comb on wet hair to prevent or stop hair fall. When hair is dry, gently comb through hair, starting at the tips and working up to the roots. This keeps small tangles from getting larger and causing hair to be ripped out in the process of detangling. In addition, if you are prone to hair loss at the front of your scalp, avoid combing hair straight back since this puts a lot of stress on the hair. If you use hair bands to tie your hair back, only use cloth covered ones to stop hair fall since other varieties can pull hair out.

Male Pattern Baldness: The Main Cause and Other Triggering Factors
Androgenic alopecia, which is commonly referred to pattern baldness, is the most widespread type of hair loss that affects millions of men worldwide.
At the early age of 20, most males will begin to observe a receding hairline. This early sign of hair loss is usually genetic, meaning it is pre-determined and passed on from generations to another—either on the father’s or mother’s side of the family.
However, at times, male pattern baldness may be due to other factors like malnutrition, bad habits, medications, underlying medical conditions as well as diseases.
The Main Cause of MPB
Male pattern baldness (MPB), is a type of hair loss that normally develops progressively. It involves the appearance of a bald spot on the crown area of the head, which is usually accompanied with a receding hairline at the temples.
Studies showed that an estimated 50 percent of men suffer from MPB at some point in their lives.
The main reason behind this hair loss condition is a genetically inherited sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a body metabolite, which is a byproduct of the male hormone testosterone and enzyme 5-alpha reductase.
DHT is said to be the culprit of 90 percent of hair loss cases in both men and women. When this hormone builds-up in the scalp, it deteriorates the hair bulbs; hence, making the hair follicles miniaturize, inducing its dormancy or, worse, death.
