One of the most common myths about hair revolves around washing hair and hair fall. Is it the reason for the hair fall? Is it time to stop using shampoo? Washing hair is an unfortunate reality of these myths and hair culture. The truth is, washing hair does not even fall under the reason for hair loss. When it comes to determining the causes of hair loss for hair care decisions, it is very helpful to make an informed guess.
Myth 1: Frequent Washing of Hair Can Be the Reason for Hair Loss.
A common hair myth that is simply not true. Hair that is lost and visible in the drain after a wash is hair that is already lost and will come out eventually. Hair is already in a lost state and in the process of falling out because of the constant hair cycle shedding.
We all lose hair on a daily basis, and that is part of a constant hair loss cycle. The amount is about 50 to 100 hairs in a day. It is a natural part of the hair cycle and is not due to any external factor. This cycle consists of growing, resting, and eventually shedding hair. The process of washing hair simply causes hair that is resting from the cycle to shed.
To preserve your scalp health, it is necessary to wash your hair frequently to avoid buildup comprising oil, dirt, and debris. If left unattended, poor hygiene practices will result in inflammation and sebum buildup that could aggravate your hair follicles and scalp even further.
Myth 2: Wearing Hats Causes Baldness
A well-known false belief regarding headwear is that it restricts blood flow and airflow to the scalp, which would lead to hair loss. In fact, blood flow is what drains oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles, so it is simply untrue that hair follicles are suffocated by the air in the hat and crochet. Wearing a hat is fine as long as it is not a tight hat that will tug on the hair, which could cause your hair to fall out.
There is a small chance that traction alopecia could develop in people wearing tight hats. However, wearing a hat is a good practice to avoid damaging your scalp and hair due to the weather.
Myth 3: Hair Loss Only Affects Men
A common belief is that hair loss only affects men, and it is likely due to the overwhelming visibility of male pattern baldness. However, it is estimated that a whopping 50 percent of women also experience some type of hair loss throughout their lives. In fact, women tend to lose hair by thinning throughout their entire scalp without a receding hairline.
Many women can lose their hair due to many reasons, including changes in hormones caused by pregnancy, post-pregnancy, being in menopause, genetics, medical problems, deficiencies in nutrition, the stress of their lives, and demanding problems with their lifestyles. The false conception that hair loss affects only men also prevents women from getting the help they need.
Myth 4: Cutting Your Hair Makes It Grow Faster and Thicker
The hair that you see has no living cells in it; it's just a dead protein. So if you cut the surface hair, it will have no effect on the follicle. The only living part of the hair is the bulb that is inside the follicle and is connected to the blood.
Your hair will indeed appear to be in a healthier condition if it is cut occasionally. This is because it will remove the damaged parts and also help the hair have a healthier and fuller look. But your hair will only look fuller and healthier; it will NOT be growing any faster. So to have longer hair, you should concentrate on nutrition instead of getting it cut a lot.
Myth 5: Stress Causes Permanent Hair Loss
Stress can contribute to temporary hair loss. During stress, some hair follicles will stop growing hair for a bit of time. This will create the appearance of hair loss, but the hair will always regrow in a reasonable time period.
Everyday stress, like busy jobs or lifestyles, alone does not usually result in hair loss. It is more likely stimulated by more serious, life-altering stress, including long-term sickness, significant surgeries, or traumatic life events. Usually, stress alone does not bring on hair loss. Generally, in these circumstances, the hair does grow back when the stressor is resolved. However, the loss of hair due to stressful events, along with chronic stress, poor diet, the presence of hormonal imbalance, or other factors, contributes to the hair loss. But stress alone is hardly ever the reason for hair loss.
The Causes of Hair Loss
While it is useful to know what does not cause hair loss, it is also important to know what does. Lost hair usually comes from an overlap of poor lifestyle, poor eating habits, hair loss medical conditions, deficiencies in nutrition, hormonal changes, and genetics.
Your genetics is a key player in determining if you will develop pattern baldness. The type of hormonal imbalance involving DHT contributes to the miniaturization of the hair follicles. Gaps in nutrition, including a lack of protein, zinc, and other vitamins, will severely compromise the function of hair in the follicles. Some medical conditions, like a thyroid disorder, may disrupt the cycle of hair growth. Everyday living conditions, including stress and poor nutrition, which cause a lack of sleep, can create an environment where the hair is in poor condition. Fatigue or stress is another factor that causes poor living conditions.
