Angelica Curiel & Dr. Ricky Neavin
As a top stylist, We often am inquired on why my clientele may be experiencing hairloss or thinning, and a lot of them are women. Perfectly the answer is “for a number of motives.” I interviewed Dr. Tim Neavin out of Beverly Hills looking for answers to some of those questions through men and women who think they have hair loss or simply thinning hair.
Why do we get hair, anyway?
Dr. Neavin: That’s an awesome question. ?For many of us, life would be better if we didn’t already have it. ?Hair probably advanced in humans to defend the scalp as well as face from the sun and rain. ?It may have sometimes served to help keep hold of heat. Today certainly, hair on our head serves us all more cosmetically than functional. For both men and women, frizzy hair has become another place on the body for us to decorate and shape during fun and pretty ways. For many, it might even help characterize persona (hello, Carrot Top along with Don King).
What helps make hair healthy delightful?
Dr. Neavin: For both men and women, “thick together with full” are the hallmarks of beautiful hair. Straight, wavy, or curly are certainly more personal preferences, but “thin as well as sparse” are not usually the seem anyone is going designed for. Like anything else inside your body, both genetics and environment play significant roles in our wild hair thickness and improvement density. Some the male is unfortunately dealt a hand that predisposes them to hairloss. ?In those scenarios, environmental influences such as diet and even remedies can sometimes slow down the operation – to an extent. Though women don’t experience this male pattern loss of hair, they are still prone to thinning based on genetic makeup, diet, and even hair styles!
Hairstyles? That’s interesting. Can it be true that ponytails can cause thinning hair?
Dr. Neavin: Great question and also “yes”! Excessive tension over the hair for continuous periods of time can cause what is known as ‘traction alopecia.’ Just how long is too long? It is difficult to say, and likely various for everyone. But the most widespread areas where one can notice thinning or decline are the hairline and also temple regions. Prior to the hair falls out, it might thin and become frizzy. Think an early warning sign. The main culprits of this quite prevalent problem include buns, chignons, twists, and various braids. Fortunately that early stages of traction alopecia typically be reversed. The better announcement is that it can be completely avoided with a looser pony or bun, or perhaps by changing hair-styles frequently to reduce extender damage.
