Hair Loss

Baldness is a state of lack of hair.

The most common form of baldness is a progressive thinning of the hair called androgenetic alopecia, which affects the adult male of men and other species.
The severity and nature of baldness varies greatly, going d alopecia androgenetic, areata  alopecia (which brings the loss of some hair),  alopecia total (that causes total hair loss), until  alopecia universal (causing the total loss of hair and all body hair).

The hair loss progresses gradually and may be mottled or diffuse. Approximately, are lost about 100 hairs a day. The average scalp contains 100,000 hairs.

In each individual, the hair survive on average for 4 years, during which grow to about 1 cm per month. The fifth year, the hair falls and is replaced by a new one within 6 months.
Genetic baldness is caused inability of the body to produce new hairs and not by excessive loss of the same.

Both men and older women tend to lose the consistency and quantity of hair. Inherited baldness affects more men than women. About 25% of men begin losing hair by the age of 30 and 2 / 3 are bald or have an appearance of baldness by the age of 60.

The typical path of baldness male sees a withdraw of attaccatura hairline and thinning with possible patches of baldness in the vertex. At the final stage, you can only have come to a spot of hair in the shape of a horseshoe around the sides of her head.

Beside the genetic factor, the pattern of male baldness seems to involve the presence of testosterone, men who do not produce testosterone (because of genetic abnormalities or castration) do not develop this pattern of baldness.

Some women may develop a particular type of hair loss caused by genetic factors, aging and male hormones that tend to increase in postmenopausal women. The course is different from that of men. Female baldness is explicit through a thinning throughout the scalp, while the attachment generally remains intact.

The incidence of baldness varies from population to population.
Environmental factors do not seem to come into play in this type of baldness.

Baldness is not usually caused by a disease but is caused by aging, heredity and testosterone. In addition to these factors, there are other possible causes of hair loss, especially in cases of common baldness, including:
serious disease
surgery
stress
tics and nervous habits (pull the hair or scratch their heads continuously)
shampoo and drying with a hairdryer excessive
underlying diseases such as lupus, diabetes, alopecia, etc..
tumors in the skin and protuberances
fungus infections
hypothyroidism
sebaceous cyst

Next to common baldness, there are many other types of baldness, such as:
Traction alopecia: typical of people who make the ponytail or Cignoni and pulling their hair with excessive force
Telogen effluvium: hair loss caused by trauma such as chemotherapy, childbirth, surgery, poisoning, stress
Alopecia areata: autoimmune disease, also known as baldness in patches, which can lead to hair loss and hair in an area (Alopecia areata monolocularis) or all the hair and hair all over the body (Alopecia areata universalis)
Cicatricial alopecia: caused by lupus, folliculitis, etc..

In addition to conventional treatments aimed at slowing the hair loss, may be useful to follow a balanced diet.

taking dietary supplements of minerals (like iron, copper and zinc), amino acids and vitamins against free radicals (C and E)
