NIOXIN Hair Loss Treatments for Women & Men
Realizing that your hair is beginning to look thinner or noticing that there's more hair in your brush and on your pillows can be devastating. For most women and Men, denial is the first response. They may rationalize that the situation is temporary - brought on by stress or other situations and it will soon stop. Many Women and Men hide the problem from everyone, including close friends and family members. But the first step to getting fuller, healthier-looking hair is to...fight it. Don't ignore it!
THE LIFE CYCLE OF YOUR HAIR
The maturation of a hair happens in three cycles - the Anagen cycle, or that phase in which the hair is actually growing; the Catagen cycle, or the intermediate phase of hair growth when the lower two-thirds of the hair follicle is destroyed; and the Telogen cycle, or that phase when hair growth is resting. At any given time, about 85 to 90 percent of your scalp hair is in the anagen or growing phase. Less than 1 percent is in the catagen phase. And, the remaining 13 percent of the scalp hair is in the telogen or resting phase. Certain factors can rush the growing hair into the telogen phase prematurely, resulting in noticeably thin-looking hair and eventually low hair density. Following the telogen phase, it takes about 3 weeks for the follicle to produce a new anagen hair.
NORMAL v. EXCESSIVE HAIR SHEDDING
Some loss or shedding of hair every day is normal. The average person has 150,000 to 200,000 hairs on their scalp. Blondes generally have the most number of hairs, followed by brunettes and then redheads. Conventional wisdom has indicated that the loss of 100 to 125 hairs a day is normal. However, recent research has shown that when cleansing daily, a loss of more than 50 hairs per day may be excessive for someone who has thin-looking hair.
SIX CAUSES OF THINNING HAIR
Now, please understand that the subject of the causes for thinning hair is complex and multi-faceted, although the outcome is simple - loss of confidence, a feeling of confusion as to what's causing thinning hair and feeling you're helpless to deal with the problem. Nioxin has identified the top six reasons why your hair may be thinning.
The problem of thinning hair may be caused by a genetic predisposition that comes from a family history of thinning hair. Health problems such as Hyperthyroid or Hypothyroid conditions; medications such as chemotherapy, any hormone replacement medications including birth control pills are culprits often overlooked. Thinning hair can also be attributed to stress and trauma that can cause constriction of blood supply and poor vitamin assimilation to the scalp and hair. Or, simply from poor nutrition and diet that can include a high consumption of animal fat, high protein and fad diets. Even external environmental toxins and pollutants, such as chlorine, metals, minerals and water pollution cannot be ignored. All these factors can be causing the increased number of hairs in your brush. Nioxin offers a complete, natural hair care system that addresses the appearance of thinning hair.
