Hair loss is caused by which of the following?

-- participated in a national online survey asking men with male pattern hair loss whether or not they would trade a personal possession for more hair and what items they treasure the most that they would be willing to part with in exchange for more hair.

Of the 2,338 men with male pattern hair loss polled, more than half (57%) said they would be willing to give up something they owned in exchange for more hair. For the 1,323 men who said they would be willing to part with a personal possession for more hair, a stereo system was chosen by the most respondents (26%) from the list of six items polled in the survey. In addition, 21% would be willing to give up their cell phone, 17% said they would trade an expensive car, 17% would hand over their laptop computer, 13% would ante up their plasma TV, and 6% said they would do without a boat for a few more locks.

"This survey confirms that men place an extremely high value on their hair and would go to great lengths to restore it -- even if it means giving up something valuable to them," said Paul C. Cotterill, M.D., president of the ISHRS. "When most of us reflect on what would make us happy this holiday season, I think we would find that intangibles, such as looking or feeling better, would top more wish lists than expensive gifts."
 

From among those suffering from hair loss, three quarters, or 75 percent, also experience severe stress and negative emotions in relation to their condition, while 14 percent of women with alopecia said that their hair loss interfered with their social and employment engagements and activities, sometimes leading to social withdrawal and other serious psychological problems. About one fifth, or 20 percent of the respondents, said that they would postpone or cancel a date because of their “bad hair” day. Many women in Ulster were so distressed with their condition that they were seeking medical attention regarding alopecia more often than women from any other parts of the UK.

Over three quarters of Northern Ireland female respondents said that they did not have much information about female-pattern hair loss and hair thinning, commenting that most available information on hair loss was devoted to men’s problems. These made the women feel like hair loss was an entirely male condition not typical for women, which added to the distress and discomfort they experienced in relation to their alopecia.

Many medical practitioners of the country evaluate the results of the survey as “very disturbing” and “extremely worrying”. The research shows that female hair loss is a very serious and, unfortunately, largely neglected problem potentially leading to psychological, mental and social complications and disrupting women’s emotional health and well-being. Information on female hair loss should be more readily available so that women with alopecia do not feel like they are suffering alone.

Hair loss is common problem in all persons. The normal cycle of hair growth lasts for 2 to 6 years. There are various things which cause the hair loss problem. Scalp hair grows about one-half inch per month, but as people age their rate of hair growth slows. About 30% of people have hair loss by age 30 years, and about 50% have hair loss by age 50 years. Both men and women tend to lose hair thickness and amount as they agethis will called as androgenetic alopecia. About 90 percent of the hair on your scalp is growing at any one time. In mens the common baldness is seen due to hair loss problem. A survey has shown that about 7.9 million men and 1.6 million women in the UK have hair loss problems

Hair loss may lead to baldness when the rate of shedding exceeds the rate of regrowth, when new hair is thinner than the hair shed or when hair comes out in patches. Excessive hair loss can occur if any of the stages of hair growth become disrupted. The hair loss is appear in two forms which contains the temprory hair loss and permanent hair loss. The 50–100 hairs that everyone loses each day often become tangled with the rest of the hair, but are washed out when we shampoo. Losing hair can be stressful during a time when you're already concerned about appearance. Although hair loss is not life threatening, it is an indication of your internal health and it can cause you serious problems with an image and self-confidence.
