    It's normal for our hair to thin out a bit as we age, but what should you do if you find that you're losing your hair much faster than anticipated? Losing one's hair can be a traumatic experience; however, is there any chance it can be grown back?

    The gradual thinning of one's hair is a natural process that occurs to all people daily. Although each of us loses an average of 80 hair strands daily, our hair is constantly growing in cycles to replenish itself to compensate for this loss. If, on the other hand, you've recently observed an abnormally large amount of hair loss, you might be concerned that you're going bald.

    Try not to freak out. Hairs thinning and baldness are distinct conditions, and various treatment options are available for each.

    Androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness, is the most common type of hair loss.

    In men, thinning hair typically starts above both temples and gradually moves in the direction of an "M" shape as time passes. The hair at the head's crown also tends to thin and eventually may progress to baldness, either partially or completely.

    It is believed that male sex hormones may be linked to male pattern baldness, a hereditary condition. Loss of hair in men can begin as early as the teen years in some cases. By the age of 35, it affects approximately two-thirds of men, and by the age of 50, it affects approximately 85 per cent of men.

    The factors that lead to female pattern baldness are not well understood. On the other hand, women who have gone through menopause are more likely to experience hair loss than younger women, which suggests that the condition may be linked to a decline in female hormones.

    Because androgenetic alopecia affects many people, the discovery of a permanent and effective treatment would not only help a sizeable portion of the general population feel less anxious, but it would also be lucrative for the pharmaceutical company that was responsible for making the discovery.

    In this section, we will also discuss some of the treatments offered to people dealing with hair loss. Therefore, if you are worried about losing your hair, you should keep reading!

    Causes of Loss Of Hair In A Pattern

    Some of your hair follicles will stop producing hair as you get older.

    Most men with male pattern hair loss will eventually lose their hair completely. Female pattern hair loss frequently results in thinning hair, but it rarely causes complete hair loss.

    In most cases, this hair loss is permanent, meaning the affected individual's hair will never grow. Minoxidil applied topically is a topical medication used with finasteride to treat hair loss (Rogaine).

    In the early stages of pattern hair loss, additional treatment options may include platelet-rich plasma therapy and nutricosmetics like Viviscal and Nutrafol.

    Alopecia Areata

    Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes bald spots because the immune system mistakenly injures healthy hair follicles.

    Alopecia areata is unpredictable. Your hair may start growing back at any moment, but it could also fall again.

    Scalp Psoriasis

    Psoriasis of the scalp can lead to a temporary loss of hair. Scratching the scalp to alleviate itching or remove scales may make the condition much more severe. If you continue scratching your scalp after you have found an effective treatment for your psoriasis and stopped doing so, your hair will begin to grow again.

    Shifts In Hormone Levels

    Even though hair loss brought on by hormonal shifts and imbalances is only temporary, pinpointing exactly when it will give way to new hair growth can be extremely challenging.

    Stress

    Stress is another factor that may play a role in hair loss. It may be ongoing emotional stress, or it may result from an event, such as being hospitalised, having a high fever, losing a loved one, or giving birth.

    The onset of stress-related hair loss, also known as telogen effluvium, typically occurs two to three months after a stressful event and can continue for as long as six months. In situations of chronic stress, hair loss can sometimes continue for years.

    Thyroid Problems

    After the thyroid disorder has been effectively treated, the patient's hair will typically begin to regrow.

    Nutritional Deficiencies

    Inadequate dietary intake of hair-loss-causing nutrients such as iron, zinc, or biotin can lead to the condition over time. If the deficiency is treated, the hair may begin to grow again. Even so, the first signs of new hair growth might not appear for several months.

    When you shave your head, you only remove the outermost layer of the hair follicle at the surface of your scalp. You'll notice that new hair is growing almost immediately, and you might start to see some stubble in a day or two.

    Conversely, waxing removes the entire hair root from the follicle, which is located beneath the skin's surface. It can take up to a fortnight before you even start to see the first signs of stubble. After a break of three to six weeks, most people get another waxing.

    Does The Hair That Grows Back Become Denser?

    Hair causes it to grow back more quickly and in a thicker pattern. In reality, this is just a myth. Shaving and waxing affect the rate at which hair regrows or the thickness it attains after it has been removed.

    Chemotherapy is the typical method of treatment for cancer. Chemotherapy is a powerful treatment that eliminates rapidly dividing cells like cancer cells; however, it can potentially eliminate hair follicles in the scalp and in other parts of the body, which can result in rapid hair loss.

    The Progression Of Hair Growth Following Chemotherapy

    Two to three weeks after the chemotherapy treatment is finished, there is a possibility that the hair will begin to regrow on its own. The hair may grow back as a fine fuzz at first. After about a month, your hair may start growing back at the normal rate of between 4 and 6 inches per year.

    Remember that in some instances, it can take up to a year after finishing chemotherapy for hair to begin growing back after it has been lost.

    Your newly grown hair may have a different consistency or tone than the old hair. Hair loss caused by lengthy and intense chemotherapy treatment can be permanent in extremely unusual cases.

    After Telogen Effluvium, How Long Does It Take For Hair To Grow Back?

    The condition known as telogen effluvium happens when a significant number of hair follicles on the scalp simultaneously enter the telogen (resting) phase of the growth cycle. Still, the subsequent growth phase does not begin. New hair does not grow, even though the scalp experiences widespread hair loss.

    In most cases, it is triggered by a medical event, such as the following:

    • childbirth
    • surgery
    • high fever
    • beginning or discontinuing the use of particular medications, including birth control pills

    The onset of telogen effluvium typically occurs approximately three months after the event. Even though your hair may look thin, it's unlikely to fall completely.

    You can completely reverse this condition at any time. It may take up to six months for your hair to grow back after the triggering event has been treated (or after recovering from your illness). On the other hand, some people experience this hair loss for an extended period.

    What Factors Have An Impact On The Hair's Ability To Regrow?

    If you have experienced hair loss and are attempting to regrow your hair, the rate of hair growth can be affected by a wide variety of factors.

    It is not always possible to exert control over these factors.

    What Factors Contribute To Faster Hair Growth?

    There is no failsafe method to speed up the rate at which your hair grows overnight. You may be able to prevent certain types of hair loss or strengthen your hair to reduce the amount of breakage it causes with little effort and care.

    The following are some suggestions for maintaining the health of your hair:

    • Consume food from each food group. Your best bet is to consume foods high in protein, iron, and vitamin C.
    • Inquire with a medical professional about the possibility of taking dietary supplements, particularly those containing iron, folic acid, biotin, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and zinc; however, you should only do so if you believe that your diet is lacking in these nutrients. If you are already getting the nutrients you require from your food; there is no reason to take dietary supplements.
    • Please stay away from harsh chemicals and extreme heat when it comes to your skin and hair.
    • Avoid styles that pull your hair back too tightly.
    • When you wash your hair, give yourself a scalp massage to increase blood flow to the hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth.
    • Psoriasis of the scalp with a medicated shampoo, which a dermatologist can prescribe.
    • Trimming your hair regularly every 6 to 8 weeks will help you avoid split ends.
    • Limit or quit smoking. Quitting can be challenging, but a doctor can work with you to develop a cessation plan that is tailored to your specific needs.
    • Wearing a hat will help you avoid damaging your hair by exposing it to the sun for an extended period.

    You can wear a wig or add extensions to your natural hair in the interim if you'd like to give yourself more styling options. Hair transplants are yet another potential treatment for hair loss that is irreversible.

    Is It Something That Runs In The Family?

    Investigate whether or not your family has a history of hair loss. Male Pattern Because baldness is typically a genetic condition, the first thing you should do when trying to figure out if you are balding is to determine if you have a genetic predisposition towards baldness.

    It is because male pattern baldness tends to run in families. It may be all in your genes; unfortunately, there's not much you can do about that.

    At this point, you should discuss your options for hair restoration with a dermatologist who specialises in the field. You can find a lot of information online, but unfortunately, there is also a lot of misinformation and urban legends on the internet. Going straight to a medical professional who can evaluate your hair loss is the only way to ensure that the information you receive is accurate and worthy of your trust.

    Where Exactly Are You Losing Your Hair?

    If you have noticed that your hairline is getting thinner or that you are losing hair, specifically in the crown area, these may both be signs that you are going bald. A loss of hair that occurs in a more chaotic pattern or is more uniformly distributed is typically an indication of hair thinning.

    You may have alopecia, which causes a person to lose patches of hair if you notice that your hair is falling out in patches and seems to be doing so in patches.

    Could Getting Older Be The Cause Of Your Hair Loss?

    As you get closer to your silver years, you will most likely notice that your hair is thinner, which is a natural consequence of ageing. Also, if you are a woman getting close to menopause, you may notice that your hair is beginning to thin. It is a perfectly normal symptom.

    On the other hand, hair loss can indicate male pattern baldness in people younger than 35 years old.

    Is It Possible That Your Stress Is Causing Your Hair Loss?

    Loss of hair can occur in both men and women who are under an excessive amount of stress. There are a lot of people who don't realise that stress can affect your body physically. Extreme daytime fatigue and loss of hair are two potential side effects of prolonged exposure to high-stress levels over a few months.

    Getting rid of your stress should be your priority if you have noticed that your hair is becoming thinner. You can try to reduce the number of extremely stressful factors in your life while increasing the number of enjoyable activities you participate in. If you were losing your hair due to stress, then once you find a way to reduce that stress, it's likely that you'll start to see your hair start to grow back.

    Other Factors Can Also Cause The Loss Of Hair.

    A variety of different things can bring on the loss of hair. Take into consideration whether you have recently been exposed to any of the following triggers:

    Hormonal or Chemical Imbalance 

    Hair thinning occurs when your body's hormones are produced in varying quantities. Consider the following: a new medication, the discontinuation of a prescription, etc.

    Problems with the Thyroid 

    If you have also noticed memory loss, depression, sudden weight gain, dry skin, fatigue and frequent muscle aches, it is possible that your hair thinning is due to problems with your thyroid.

    If you can pinpoint your hair loss to one or more of these causes, likely, you're just experiencing hair thinning rather than full-on baldness at this point.

    Minimally-Invasive Hair Loss Treatment Options

    In cases where medication, topical solutions, and light therapy are insufficient to revive your hair, you may want to investigate other options. Surgeons can transplant viable hair follicles and implant them in areas of baldness with the help of a procedure called follicular unit extraction, or FUE.

    You won't have any scarring from this procedure, and you'll be able to get back to your regular activities after just a couple of days of resting and recuperating. Even more encouraging is that the FUE treatment has a success rate of as high as 98 per cent.

    After receiving treatment for hair loss, you will likely need to begin using non-surgical treatment options such as those described above to maintain the appearance and texture of your new hair. To guarantee the best possible outcomes, we will make it a point to discuss all available choices with you.

    Finasteride

    While developing a medication to treat prostate enlargement, the discovery of finasteride's potential side effect of increased hair growth occurred by accident.

    The enzyme type II 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into the more potent androgen DHT, is the enzyme that is inhibited by finasteride. It has been reported that taking the drug reduces DHT levels by approximately sixty per cent. It prevents the vulnerable follicles from being affected by the hormone and allows them to return to their normal size.

    Dutasteride

    A treatment for prostatic enlargement is available under the brand name Avodart. Off-label use of dutasteride is common practice among medical professionals to treat male pattern baldness.

    The action of dutasteride is comparable to that of finasteride, but it may be more efficient. In the same way that finasteride does, dutasteride can block the action of type II 5-alpha reductase. On the other hand, dutasteride is an additional inhibitor of type I of the enzyme. It is blocking both forms of the enzyme results in an even greater reduction in DHT and a decreased likelihood that you will damage hair follicles.

    This medication suffers from the same drawbacks as finasteride in that it is ineffective unless taken daily and may lose some of its usefulness over time.

    These therapies may halt or stop further hair loss, and they may also stimulate regrowth from follicles that have been dormant but are still viable. Additionally, they may prevent further hair loss from occurring. On the other hand, they have very little effect on dormant follicles once they have reached that stage. They will produce more favourable results when applied at an earlier stage of hair loss.

    Hair Transplantation

    In hair transplantation, DHT-resistant follicles are taken from the back of the head, where they are harvested, and then transplanted into bald areas of the scalp.

    A dermatologist or plastic surgeon will make very small plugs of skin that contain a few hairs, remove the plugs, and implant them in areas of the scalp that do not have active hair follicles.

    About one-fifth of all hairs emerge from their follicles as single hairs, and about one-fifth of all hairs grow in clusters of four or five hairs.

    After the procedure, the individual will still have the same quantity of hair; however, it will be dispersed across the scalp more uniformly.

    Surgical procedures for hair loss treatment are often invasive, uncomfortable, and expensive. Additionally, there is a possibility of scarring as well as infection.

    Stages Of Hair Growth Miniaturisation

    oil capsules with vitamin e lie brown hair curls

    In the hair bulb, situated at the bottom of the follicle, cells divide and multiply to produce the keratin-based hair shaft.

    A papilla is a structure that surrounds the bulb and contains very small blood vessels. These blood vessels deliver hormones to the hair follicles and nourish them so the hair can grow properly and maintain its structure.

    The hair follicle life cycle is very similar to other types of cells. The loss of approximately 50 to 100 hairs per day is a normal and completely normal part of the cycle.

    After actively producing hair for two to six years, each follicle goes dormant for several months. When the hair follicle enters its resting phase, the resting phase causes the hair to fall out.

    There are approximately 100,000 follicles on the scalp; however, hair loss is typically unnoticeable because some follicles are producing hair while others are resting, so the timing of each is different.

    When there is a disruption in the growth and shedding cycle, or if the hair follicle is obliterated and replaced with scar tissue, the hair loss is more noticeable. Several factors can cause this.

    Researchers have recently discovered that a process known as miniaturisation is responsible for the development of male pattern baldness. DHT is a hormone that you can produce from testosterone with the assistance of an enzyme stored in the hair follicle's oil glands.

    Because DHT binds to receptors in the hair follicles and causes them to shrink, hair follicles continue to get smaller over time. After some time, the follicles produce hairs that are thinner than normal, and their growth period is shorter than usual. The hair follicle will eventually stop producing, resulting in the area losing its hair.

    Conclusion

    It's upsetting to lose one's hair, but is there any hope of growing it back? The most common form of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, or male pattern baldness.

    As you get older, some of your hair follicles will stop producing hair. Most men with a genetic predisposition to baldness will go bald in their lifetimes.

    Bald patches, or alopecia areata, are the result of an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy hair follicles.

    The onset of hair loss due to stress can occur anywhere from two weeks to six months after the stressful event.

    When dealing with cancer, chemotherapy is the standard treatment. Some people experience permanent hair loss as a result of undergoing extensive and prolonged chemotherapy treatment.

    The rate at which hair grows back and the thickness it attains after being removed are both influenced by shaving and waxing. You might not see any stubble at all for up to two weeks.

    A guaranteed overnight solution to a slower hair growth rate does not exist. Some forms of hair loss can be avoided, and the damage caused by broken hair can be minimised with just a little TLC and effort.

    Multiple variables influence hair growth. You should look into the possibility of a hereditary predisposition to baldness.

    Hair thinning is typically characterised by a loss of hair that occurs in a more random pattern or is more evenly distributed.

    For men under 35, hair loss may be an indication of male pattern baldness. If you've noticed a decline in hair density, it's time to eliminate some stress.

    If you've been losing your hair because of stress, reducing that stress should help it grow back.

    Type II 5-alpha-reductase is the enzyme responsible for the conversion of testosterone to the even more potent androgen DHT. Finasteride works by blocking the activity of this enzyme.

    DHT levels are decreased by roughly 60% when using dutasteride. By doing so, the hormone's effects on the delicate follicles are mitigated, and the follicles are able to shrink back to their normal size.

    The life cycle of hair follicles is highly analogous to that of other cell types. About one hundred thousand hair follicles can be found there.

    Loss of hair is often unnoticeable because some hair follicles are actively producing hair while others are dormant. Miniaturization has been linked to male-pattern baldness, according to studies.

    FAQs

    Is It Even Possible To Regrow Hair Once It Has Been Lost?

    There are treatment options that are currently available that have the potential to help regrow hair on the temples if you have already experienced hair loss in those areas. Your doctor may suggest topical medications such as minoxidil (Rogaine), a well-known treatment that can stimulate hair follicles and lead to new hair growth for some people.

    Currently available treatments are effective for certain types of hair loss. There is a possibility that you can stop or even revert the process of hair loss. In the case of certain conditions, such as diffuse hair loss (also known as alopecia areata), hair may regrow within a year, even in the absence of treatment. Medication and surgical procedures are both options for treating hair loss.

    Is It Possible For Balding Men To Regrow Their Hair?

    The treatment can stop the hair loss from worsening, and some men even regrow some of their hair. Men typically see the best results from treatment when they begin it as soon as they become aware of hair loss.

    Minoxidil is an excellent medication that can reawaken hair follicles that have become dormant. Minoxidil, when used as directed and applied to the scalp consistently, can stimulate the growth of hair that has completely stalled. The only catch is that once you begin taking it, you won't be able to stop; you'll have to continue doing so indefinitely.

    Is It Possible For Thin Hair To Become Thick Again?

    The fact is that you cannot alter the size of the hair follicles on your scalp. No product on the market will completely change the fact that you have fine hair if you were born with that trait. Keeping your hair healthy, giving it more volume, and preventing it from becoming even thinner are all things that you can accomplish.

    What Is The Most Important Thing About Hair?

    A reflection on your overall health. Believe it or not, the condition of your hair can be one of the most important signs of your overall health. Vibrant, healthy hair means that your body is producing enough vitamins and nutrients that ensure the body is operating at its peak condition.

    What Causes Hair To Grow Fast?

    If you have fast-growing hair, the main reason is your DNA and hair thickness. Several other things, like environmental factors, age, stress, and medications may have an impact, but your DNA mostly calls the shots in this department.

    There are treatment options that are currently available that have the potential to help regrow hair on the temples if you have already experienced hair loss in those areas.

In the case of certain conditions, such as diffuse hair loss (also known as alopecia areata), hair may regrow within a year, even in the absence of treatment. Medication and surgical procedures are both options for treating hair loss.

    The treatment can stop the hair loss from worsening, and some men even regrow some of their hair. Men typically see the best results from treatment when they begin it as soon as they become aware of hair loss.

    Minoxidil is an excellent medication that can reawaken hair follicles that have become dormant. Minoxidil, when used as directed and applied to the scalp consistently, can stimulate the growth of hair that has completely stalled. The only catch is that once you begin taking it, you won't be able to stop; you'll have to continue doing so indefinitely.

     

    The fact is that you cannot alter the size of the hair follicles on your scalp. No product on the market will completely change the fact that you have fine hair if you were born with that trait. Keeping your hair healthy, giving it more volume, and preventing it from becoming even thinner are all things that you can accomplish.
