Afro Kinky Natural Hair
While the quality of your hair can be determined by genetics, other factors can play a part in hair loss in women, such as: Over-styling - Hairstyles like cornrows or ponytails that pull or tug on the hair follicles (Tension Alopecia) can have a devastating effect on hair roots, causing them to weaken, miniaturize (thin) and eventually die. Once dead, a hair follicle will never regrow. Use of harsh chemicals and straighteners on hair run the risk of scarring the scalp and damaging or killing hair root leading to hair loss. Overuse of Chemicals - Bleach, straighteners and perms, used improperly, can lead to burns on the scalp and scarring that can interfere with follicle growth. Hair follicles, deprived of oxygen will die and disappear. Menopause and aging - The hormones that encourage hair growth gradually diminish during menopause and the lack of estrogen in the scalp can lead to an overabundance of DHT or Dihydrotestosterone. This hormone is one of the leading causes of hair loss in both men and women, because it cuts off the oxygen flow (and nutrition) to the hair follicle and virtually strangles the root.In this world of today, it is becoming more and more common to wear wigs.
