Baldness

Hair loss can happen due to many variables, such as genetic factors or predisposition, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, skin problems, hair growth disorders, poor diet, hormonal problems, certain internal diseases, drug use, stress and depression, cosmetic factors, childbirth, and the chemotherapy process.

Depending on the cause of your hair loss, some practices may help you regrow hair naturally. These may include scalp massages and applying aloe vera or essential oils like coconut and lemon oil. Hair loss happens naturally and can affect anyone.

Most forms of baldness have no cure. Some types of baldness will go away without treatment. Treatment may include: Certain medicines to promote hair growth (such as minoxidil and finasteride)

For men with male pattern baldness, 25% will begin to see thinning hair or hair loss before they reach the age of 21. These numbers prove that hair loss is not just an issue for older men and women, but in fact affects many men and women in their early twenties and thirties as well.

Rice water creates the appearance of longer, thicker hair, but it doesn’t necessarily boost growth. “The larger proteins in rice water are too big to enter the hair strand and instead create a thick protective coating over each one,” Dr. Longsworth clarifies.
