Why do you become bald ?

Baldness occurs when your hair follicles cease to produce new hair.

Step 1 : It begins with the thinning of hair at the temples.

Step 2 :This is followed by bald spots on the crown.

Step 3 : Eventually, it can lead to total baldness at the front and the top of the scalp. But normal hair remains at the sides and the back, that goodness for small mercies!

Baldness And Your Hormones!

Luckily for women (unlike men where baldness is termed as ‘male pattern baldness’ and is hereditary in nature), who inherit a tendency towards baldness, it usually leads only to the thinning of hair and only rarely to total baldness.

This is because the male sex hormones (androgens, which are produced in both men and women) help trigger the process of baldness among those with a genetic inheritance. The low level of androgens in women is, normally, not enough to lead to perceptible baldness. Lucky you!

How To Tackle Hair Loss…

Did you know that there are approximately 90,000-1,50,000 strands of hair on your head? And that a daily loss of 50-100 hair is quite normal? That must be reassuring. However, hair fall over and above is a warning sign that your hair needs professional help. In severe cases of hair loss, you should immediately consult a doctor and try to determine the exact cause, as well as how permanent the loss will be. Very often, excessive loss can be stalled and the hair will grow back in due course.

Is there a Cure For Baldness!

Until recently, there was no cure for the condition, though a lot of quack remedies have been touted in every age. However, a new drug called Minoxidil has been recently cleared after extensive tests by the US Federal Drug Authority, as a partial cure for baldness. (Caution: consult your doctor before you try any medication.)
