Discover the Causes of Hair Loss and How to Treat It - Jordan News
Learn about the main causes of hair loss, its symptoms, psychological and health effects, as well as effective medical and natural treatment methods. Hair loss patterns vary from person to person. It can be temporary and resolve once the cause is removed, or it may be chronic requiring specialized treatment. The pattern of hair loss can be diffuse across the scalp or localized in specific areas. Causes of Hair Loss There are many causes of hair loss, including genetic, hormonal, psychological, nutritional factors, as well as some medical conditions and medications: Genetic and Hormonal Factors: Androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) is one of the most common causes, resulting from sensitivity of hair follicles to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Disorders such as thyroid disease, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and reduced estrogen after menopause also contribute to hair loss. Medical Conditions: Autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata, fungal infections of the scalp, lupus erythematosus, anemia, and psoriasis. Psychological and Physical Stress: Severe psychological stress or physical trauma such as surgery or high fever can trigger telogen effluvium (stress-related hair loss). Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of proteins and vitamins like vitamin D, iron, zinc, biotin, and B vitamins directly impact hair health. Medications: Certain treatments, including chemotherapy drugs, antidepressants, blood thinners, and some blood pressure medications, can cause hair loss as a side effect. Chemical Hair Treatments: Frequent use of hair dyes, chemical straightening, and heat styling tools weakens hair and leads to shedding. Pregnancy and Childbirth: Hormonal changes after childbirth cause temporary hair loss in many women. Aging: Hair follicles gradually weaken with age, producing thinner and less dense hair. Tight Hairstyles: Styles that pull hair tightly, like braids or ponytails, cause continuous tension that weakens hair roots. Symptoms of Hair Loss Gradual thinning at the front or crown of the scalp, the most common pattern. Circular bald patches (alopecia areata). Diffuse thinning resulting in overall reduced hair density. Large amounts of hair found on pillows or during washing. Scalp itching or inflammation, sometimes with dandruff or redness. Psychological and social impact: Hair loss can cause significant emotional distress including anxiety, depression, and loss of self-confidence, affecting social and professional life especially in youth or image-conscious environments. Treatment Methods for Hair Loss Treatment depends on diagnosing the cause and selecting the appropriate approach. Medical Treatments: Minoxidil: Topical application twice daily. Finasteride: Oral medication, effects appear after several months. Dutasteride: Used for cases unresponsive to other treatments. Advanced Therapies: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. Low-level laser therapy. Hair transplantation. Daily Care: A protein-rich diet (meat, fish, eggs, legumes) and vitamins/minerals such as A, B, C, D, E, iron, zinc, omega-3 and omega-6 support hair strength. Proper scalp and hair care: use suitable shampoo, wash hair 2-3 times weekly, avoid hot water, tight hairstyles, and reduce heat styling tools. Natural oils and treatments: coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil, argan oil, and rosemary oil nourish and improve hair health. Lifestyle changes: exercise, relaxation techniques, quality sleep, quitting smoking and alcohol, and using products to protect from UV rays. Nutritional supplements: biotin, multivitamins, and omega-3 supplements can help improve hair condition. Integrated Treatment Steps: Consult a dermatologist to determine the cause. Conduct hormonal and vitamin tests. Treat underlying medical issues like thyroid disease or iron deficiency. Use topical creams or injections for alopecia areata. Therapeutic shampoos containing ketoconazole. Daily scalp massage for 5–10 minutes. Weekly hair masks such as egg and yogurt, coconut oil and honey, or aloe vera gel. Hair loss is a complex problem involving health and psychological factors. With accurate diagnosis and a comprehensive treatment plan, hair vitality can be restored, boosting self-confidence and quality of life. اضافة اعلان

I've had two hair transplants in two years but couldn't imagine unexpected side effect
Amerley Ollennu was told the side effect was rare but not unheard of and can happen regardless of how well the transplant goes HAIR ME OUT I've had two hair transplants in two years but couldn't imagine unexpected side effect Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AS a beauty editor, I could give a TED Talk on how to take care of your hair. So imagine my horror when I started losing mine, aged 32. 6 Amerley Ollennu was horrified when she started to experienced hair loss at just 32 Credit: Supplied 6 But six months on from her final hair transplant, the results are incredible and her confidence is back Credit: Supplied Four years later, when a whole patch surrounding a childhood scar went, I started to freak out. Was I going to go completely bald? And how could I get my hair back? I was so self-conscious I found it hard to make eye contact with people. All I could think was that they could see I was losing my hair, despite the strategically placed parting to give the illusion my hairline started where it used to. Riddled with anxiety, I spoke to a dermatologist, who told me I had a condition called traction alopecia. It's caused by repetitive tension or pulling on the hair. I was surprised, but realised that I blow-dried my curls regularly and scraped my hair up into a bun when pushed for time. But there was worse news. After long-term tension, scarring alopecia occurs — and that can't be reversed. This is when there is a permanent death of the follicles and hair is no longer able to grow back Too nervous According to the NHS, eight million women in the UK are affected by some form of hair loss. The most common type is androgenetic alopecia, a hormonal and genetic condition that affects about 40 per cent of women by the age of 50. Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson, 33, and Made In Chelsea's Olivia Bentley, 29, have both battled alopecia areata, a patchy form of hair loss often triggered by stress. Mel Sykes reveals devastating battle with alopecia as she says she's 'lost half her hair' amid health battle And supermodel Naomi Campbell, 54, has struggled with traction alopecia, which increasingly affects black women due to styling practices that place prolonged tension on the scalp. I spent three years trying multiple hair-loss treatments, including light therapy, microneedling, taking supplements and vitamin injections. Nothing worked. In fact, my hair loss got worse. I decided against commonly recommended Minoxidil — a topical treatment that slows loss, thickens hair and promotes regrowth — because any hair you gain will fall out if you ever stop. And it can trigger hair growth in unwanted areas, such as the face. 6 Years of styling and tension had caused traction alopecia on Amerley's hairline Credit: Supplied 6 In the procedure, a strip of hair taken from back of head Credit: Supplied 6 1,200 grafts, taken from the strip of hair, are placed in tiny incisions made on Amerley's hairline Credit: Supplied So I went to see hair transplant surgeon Dr Christopher D'Souza, who was recommended to me by a male friend. Dr D'Souza said I did indeed have scarring alopecia and would make a good candidate for surgery. After he showed me some before and after images of his female patients, I felt confident I was in safe hands. While hair-transplant surgery can cost anywhere between £4,000 and £15,000 in the UK — compared to £1,200 to £4,000 in Turkey — I felt far too nervous to undergo the procedure abroad. You only have to look at social media to see that people regularly return home with botched or unnatural-looking results. 'In the UK, your surgeon should be a member of the British Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons (BAHRS) and International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS),' said Dr D'Souza. What is alopecia and what causes it? About two per cent of the population will experience alopecia at some point in their lifetime, with around one in every 4,000 developing the condition each year. It can start at any age but is most common in early adulthood and can lead to a lack of all hair including eyelashes and eyebrows, nasal hair and public hair. Alopecia areata causes patches of baldness about the size of a large coin. 'Alopecia' is the medical term for hair loss and 'areata' means that it occurs in small, random areas. There are various classifications, including: Alopecia areata totalis: Total hair loss on the scalp Alopecia areata universalis: Total hair loss on your scalp and all body hair The causes of alopecia areata are not fully understood but the loss of hair is because of inflammation around the hair follicles. The cause of the inflammation is unknown but it is believed that the immune system, which normally protects the body from infections and other diseases, misfires and attacks the hair follicles. Therefore, it is understood to be an autoimmune condition, says Alopecia UK. Genetics may be behind the condition, but there are other things thought to trigger it, including a virus, iron deficiency or stress. Studies are not conclusive. For women, sometimes birth can trigger postpartum alopecia. In most cases of alopecia areata, hair will grow back in a few months to a year. At first, hair may grow back fine and white, but over time it should thicken and regain its normal colour. There is no cure for the condition, only treatments that are not guaranteed to work. People with alopecia may need to take extra precautions, including protecting their skin and eyes when outside and preventing stress. Latest figures show that last year, women accounted for just 15 per cent of all hair-transplant procedures. But that is up 16.5 per cent since 2021 — and numbers are climbing. The most popular method is follicular unit excision (FUE), but I went for follicular unit transplantation (FUT) instead. Dr D'Souza explains: 'FUE surgery involves each hair graft — a tiny piece of scalp that contains anything from one to three hairs — being removed using a small punching device. 'With FUT surgery, a thin strip of the scalp is removed and the grafts are taken from that strip of removed scalp.' I liked the idea of avoiding stitches, but FUE surgery meant shaving a large section at the back of my head — not ideal when you've got long hair. It's been life changing for me and I have no regrets. FUT is more discreet and tends to yield more grafts in one go. It's also safer for curly or Afro-textured hair, where follicles curve beneath the scalp. I arrived early on a Friday morning at Dr D'Souza's central London clinic, where he began by drawing the outline of my new hairline directly on to my skin. He explained that irregularities, as well as a graduation of hair density, make a natural-looking hairline. Once I was happy with his proposed design, he injected my scalp with local anaesthetic in three areas to ensure my whole head was numb. This was the only uncomfortable element of the whole process. He then removed the strip of scalp before making tiny incisions on my hairline, into which his team of technicians would later place the grafts. The whole process took five hours. I was sent home with painkillers, which I didn't end up needing, a travel pillow to keep me upright when I slept, and saline solution to regularly spritz on to the transplanted area. This promotes healing, reduces itching and keeps the grafts moist, which boosts their survival rate. 'HAIR HALO' For a week after my surgery, I kept a low profile. There was some swelling of my forehead, as well as minor bleeding from the donor area. But by day two that had subsided, and by day four the swelling had gone down. A week later I felt fine seeing friends for coffee, but it wasn't until around three weeks post-surgery — when most of my implanted hairs had fallen out — that I started to live life as before. You might be wondering if losing all that newly placed hair meant that the surgery hadn't worked, but it's totally normal. 6 Hair transplants have been life changing for me and I have no regrets, says Amerley Credit: Lorna Roach Dr D'Souza explains: 'New hair will grow from the follicles at three to four months post-op, with noticeable results at the six months mark.' Even if your transplant is perfectly carried out, you may experience changes to how your hair and scalp behave. I developed a shock of grey hair, which is rare, but not unheard of. The trauma of surgery, reduced blood flow and inflammation around the follicles can result in a loss of hair pigment. Thankfully, the colour eventually came back. For around six months I also had to live with a frizzy 'hair halo' across the front of my hairline, so I strategically placed longer hair from behind over the shorter hairs at the front. The skin along my hairline became a lot drier than it used to be, too, which Dr D'Souza explained can happen. Non-oil-stripping shampoos and moisture-boosting scalp serums worked well for me. I was ecstatic when, at my six-month review, Dr D'Souza said that my hair was growing well. Now, just six months on, the results are incredible. But I must admit that in the back of my mind I'm worried hair loss might happen again. And when I hit 12 months, I could really appreciate how much my hairline had changed — and how much more confident I felt. But I had hoped my hairline would be restored to its childhood glory, which wasn't the case. My scar was still visible because, as Dr D'Souza explained at my one-year check-up, scar tissue tends to have less blood supply — and good blood supply is essential for transplanted follicles to thrive. There was also a little too much scalp visibility for my liking. Yes, I could have lived with the results, but I knew these issues would bother me so I opted to have surgery number two. This time I would only need another 500 or so grafts added, as opposed to 1,200 the first time. Now, just six months on, the results are incredible. But I must admit that in the back of my mind I'm worried hair loss might happen again. With curly hair it's tough not to straighten it here and there, or wear it up when I don't have time in the mornings to resurrect my squashed and tangled ringlets. I'm trying my best to avoid causing tension with my styling practices to ensure my new hairline will last, but if it doesn't, I'd absolutely consider another transplant in the future. It's been life changing for me and I have no regrets.
