Learn Here Basics of Hair Growth.
To understand Hair loss or Hair growth treatments, you should first understand hair loss itself. There are many causes of hair loss. The primary cause is both male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness, affecting almost 50% of adult males and 25% of adult women.
This cause of hair loss is directly related to changes in your hair’s nutrition, levels of DHT and proper scalp hygiene.
The basics of hair:
The scalp is composed of 3 basic layers of skin: the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous layer. Within these 3 layers there are blood vessels, nerves, muscles, glands, and hair (or keratin).
Hair is supported by blood flow, which in turn requires oxygen and nutrients to promote cellular activity and new growth. As hair grows in the follicle, it is lubricated by the sebaceous gland that secretes oil in the follicle, coating the hair for smooth growth and creating healthy luster and sheen.
Good hair nutrition is vital for healthy hair, requiring that blood and nutrients reach the papilla area. When fewer nutrients reach the papilla hair cells reproduce at a much slower rate. Slower cellular activity produces thin, poor quality hair.
The basics of hair loss or hair growth.
DHT, or Dihydrotestosterone, causes 95% of all hair loss.
DHT miniaturizes hair follicles by shortening the anagen (growth) phase and/or lengthening the telogen (resting) phase. This causes the hair follicles to slowly shrink and die, especially if DHT is involved. The net result is an increased number of short, thin, fine hairs barely visible above the scalp. For healthy hair growth, DHT inhibiting is needed once increased hair loss occurs. The interaction of DHT with androgen receptors in scalp skin and follicles appears to cause male and female pattern baldness.
SERUM. The sebaceous oil building up causes sebum.
Sebum collects in the hair follicle and hardens, causing a sebum plug that hinders hair growth. This compounded with existing weak hairs causes increased reduction in hair growth.
The good news is, even with thinning, fine hairs, there is still life in the follicle and it can be repaired with a proven MEDICI CAPELLI regimen of proper hair nutrition, DHT blocking and good scalp hygiene.
