Suffering from thinning or fine hair? Why not talk to expert hair careologist Kiera Galbraith from Patrick Gildea Hairdressing Letterkenny for some great advice on restoring your locks for the New Year.
Here, Kiera explains the causes and treatments for thinning hair in men and women.
Did you know that 40% of women have visible hair loss by the time they are 40! On average, women dealing with thinning hair are between the ages of 25 and 35. There is no single cause of thinning hair, there are many.
Every week we see guests who want thicker, fuller hair and especially now in the New Year where individuals like to make a change for the better. Irish Hairdressing Federation Icon Patrick has asked Kiera one of our Careologists and Nioxin Hair and Scalp specialists to share some valuable information with you.
Kiera says, “Thinning hair affects men and women of all ages. The cause is often genetic, and can also be triggered by certain life stages. Hair cells reproduce at a faster rate than any other in our bodies, so they are also sensitive to changes in our health or environment. Addressing thinning hair begins with understanding what causes and contributes to it, and the early warning signs to look out for. Here are some reasons why you might be experiencing thinning hair”.
Discover the reasons you might be experiencing thinning hair.
Genetics
A common family predisposition involves natural, age-related hormonal changes that can trigger hair loss. This is caused by the conversion of testosterone into the toxin Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and can be inherited from either your mother or your father.
Stress and Trauma
Stress can produce increased levels of testosterone, which converts to DHT and interrupts the hair’s growth cycle. Stress also constricts blood supply through the capillaries, restricting oxygen and nutrient uptake and vitamins to the hair follicle.
Nutrition and Diet
What you eat can play a significant role in hair thinning. A high consumption of animal fats, rapid weight loss and liquid protein diets can result in a lack of amino acids, biotin, iron, protein and zinc — all of which are essential for healthy-looking hair. Special Nioxin supplements are available to purchase which will help to combat any dietary issues and give your hair the boost it needs.
Health Issues
Several underlying health issues can cause hair thinning, including a malfunctioning of the hormone-producing thyroid gland and the natural hormonal changes women experience after pregnancy and during the menopause.
Environmental Factors
Air and water pollutants, chlorine, metals and minerals may be left on the scalp and hair as we wash with water every day, contributing to thinning. Pollutants such as pseudo-estrogens and toxins from within our bodies are also a factor.
Medication
The hair follicle is incredibly sensitive to changes in the body. Any hormone therapy (including birth control) can contribute to hair thinning, as can steroids, specific chemotherapies, and medication for blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and acne.
