Hair Loss, Fine or Thinning Hair, and Scalp Irritation: Natural Solutions

The effects of common internal and external stresses-including stress, poor diet and nutrition, oxidation from free radicals, and environmental pollutants-can shut down or depress hair follicles, shortening the active phase of hair bulbs and causing more and more bulbs to experience an extended resting phase. Over time, the result is thinner, weaker, and less manageable hair. What's more, heat and chemicals from styling and processing can severely damage hair. 50% of all men and 40% of women by the age of 35 will experience thinning hair related to these stressors.

Visibly thinning
If you have iron or protein deficiency-common with the caloric deprivation of anyone suffering from an eating disorder-it is not unusual to experience severe hair loss. That's because the malnutrition forces the body to conserve protein (the building block of all the body's cells, including the hair) by shutting down hair growth. And since more hair may also be shed-without being replaced-the result
can be a noticeable thinning over several months. Thyroid disease (both an overactive thyroid and an underactive one) can also show up as increased hair loss. Once the disease is controlled, hair growth can usually be restored.

Going bald
Really losing your hair can be a sign that you've inherited a tendency for baldness, or it could indicate a bigger health issue. Heredity baldness, medically known as androgenetic alopecia, affects up to one third of men. The hair loss-which typically begins at the temples or crown-is permanent. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease which can cause anything from smooth bald patches to the loss of all hair on both the head and body. The cause of the disease isn't known, although some doctors feel there is a genetic link. With this type of alopecia, hair normally grows back.

The flaky stuff
Dandruff is one of hair's most misunderstood maladies. People often assume that those flakes must mean that the scalp is too dry and that, like skin that's flaking, it must obviously need more moisture to make it look better. But while some people may indeed suffer from a dry scalp, true dandruff is not a matter of dryness. Dandruff is the common name for seborrheic dermatitis, an inflammatory condition of the scalp that causes redness and flaking in the areas of the skin that are rich in oil glands. Other skin conditions-such as psoriasis and eczema-can also cause a similar condition in which the scalp gets red, itchy and produces flakes of dandruff.

Dull, dry, brittle, and breaking
Hair that looks frazzled, frizzy and fried most likely is just that. We can do tremendous damage by using chemical dyes and permanents as well as by simply aiming the blow dryer at our heads every morning. Like being in the sun, all of these self-inflicted abuses destroy the cuticle and leave hair wide open to damage. Pulling hair into tight braids or ponytails can increase that stress and lead to breakage-or even bald spots. But in addition to being a cue that you need to treat you hair more carefully, unhealthy strands can also be an indicator of an unhealthy diet. Without adequate protein, growing hair strands won't become as strong and resilient as they should be. And essential fatty acids (found in fish oil supplements, wild salmon, and flax seeds) may also play a role in keeping strands strong, shiny and healthy. If your diet is lacking in them, try increasing your consumption and see if your hair eats it up! Of course, what you eat can only impact hair that is just starting to grow, so it will be several months before any improvements are evident.
