In Singapore, nearly half of all men and women start showing signs of baldness in their early 40s. It explains why there’s an industry worth $1.5 billion worldwide, offering hair loss treatments ranging from herbal remedies including shampoos, pills and many other supplements.
While there are scientific studies suggesting that the mother’s side of the family is primarily responsible for the genetic predisposition towards baldness, research today proves that balding is not entirely all our mother’s fault.
As a matter of fact, experts are suggesting that baldness patterns can be inherited from both sides of the family. There are some environmental factors that come into play as well. As we inch towards finding the best hair loss treatments in Singapore, e give you a rundown on the primary reasons that trigger hair loss.
Genes
The most common cause of hair loss by far is a hereditary condition called male/female-pattern baldness. It usually happens with ageing and in predictable symptoms: a receding hairline, bald spots in men and thinning hair in women.
Hormonal changes and medical conditions
A wide range of medical conditions can also result in hair loss. These include pregnancy, childbirth, menopause or thyroid issues. On the other hand, medical conditions such as alopecia areata can also cause patchy hair loss and scalp infections like ringworm. It can also lead to a hair-pulling disorder named trichotillomania.
Medications and supplements
Additionally, hair loss can also be a side effect of certain medications and supplements particularly those used for cancer, depression, arthritis, heart problems, high blood pressure and gout. Radiation therapy to the head may also result in the hair to not grow back the same as it was before.
Hairstyle and treatments
In some cases, excessive hairstyling or use of treatments can cause a type of hair loss. For instance, hot oil hair treatments can cause inflammation of hair follicles which may not only lead to hair loss but as well as scarring which could result in permanent hair loss.
In addition to all these, you may also experience thinning of hair following a physical or emotional shock. But, hair loss caused by this situation is temporary.
Prevention
Most baldness is temporary and can be prevented and one of the practical ways to do so is to treat your hair gently when washing, styling and brushing. It will also help to avoid using harsh treatments as well as medications and supplements that may promote hair loss.
