How hair works

  • hair root

    These are brown pigment spots that appear as a result of aging and exposure to ultraviolet rays.Most stains fall into this type.It may become darker or bulge over time.

    Hair matrix cells(Already ugly)

    This is the part that repeats cell division and grows hair.It is also the part that determines the color of the hair.

    dermal papilla(More new year)

    This is an essential tissue for hair growth, and its function is to absorb the nutrients necessary for hair growth.

    Sebaceous gland(hishisen)

    It secretes sebum to protect the hair and scalp.Excess sebum secretion can clog pores, and conversely, lack of sebum can lead to dryness, which can lead to hair loss.

  • hair trunk

    Generally speaking, this is what we call hair.Each strand of hair is made up of finer tissue.

    medulla(Medulla)

    This is a tissue located in the center of the hair.Polygonal cells shaped like a honeycomb are lined up in one direction.

    fur quality(Cortex)

    These are cigar-shaped cells that determine the properties of your hair, such as its color and elasticity.This area is easily affected by chemicals as it is used for perming and hair coloring.

    hair epidermis(cuticle)

    They are hard, colorless, transparent, scale-like cells with a three-layered structure.It has the role of protecting the epidermis of the hair, and while it is resistant to stimuli such as light, heat, and chemicals, it is vulnerable to physical stimuli such as friction.

Types of thinning hair/hair loss

  • Case

    diffuse alopecia

    Specialty

    Also known as female pattern baldness (FAGA) or senile alopecia, it is one of the most common causes of hair thinning in women.The hair itself becomes thinner, hair falls out, becomes thinner, and the hair loses its overall volume.Compared to androgenetic alopecia (AGA), another characteristic of this condition is that the boundaries of the hair loss area are not clearly defined.

    Cause

    Possible cell aging. After the age of 30, pores gradually shrink due to poor blood circulation due to cell aging and arteriosclerosis.It can also be caused by stress, excessive diet, and incorrect hair care.

  • Case

    postpartum alopecia(Postpartum alopecia)

    Specialty

    Hair loss begins to increase mainly around 3 months after giving birth, and many women become concerned about thinning hair.Although it varies from person to person, pregnant women have active female hormones that make it difficult for them to shed old hair.

    Cause

    There may be a disturbance in female hormones.The old hair that should fall out does not fall out during pregnancy, causing hair loss all at once after childbirth.In many cases, the onset is temporary, and the symptoms gradually improve as the hormone balance improves.

  • Case

    traction alopecia(Instructor)

    Specialty

    Hair loss is caused by persistent hair pulling.Hair styles that forcefully pull and irritate the hair, such as always tying the hair, always parting the hair in the same way, or having unreasonable hair extensions, can cause hair loss in some areas.

    Cause

    It is possible that you are continuously irritating your hair.If you forcefully pull the hair, the dermal papilla, which carries nutrients to the hair matrix cells, will atrophy and blood flow will deteriorate.If this continues, it will lead to increased hair loss and thinning hair.It is often a temporary symptom, and in some cases it can be improved by changing your hairstyle or parting from time to time.

  • Case

    Alopecia areata(Instructor)

    Specialty

    Generally, it is thought of as circular alopecia that occurs on one part of the head, but there are various types, such as hair loss in several places, hair loss along the hairline, and hair loss in eyelashes and body hair.Also, it is not necessarily circular.In some cases, there are no symptoms, and people notice it when someone else points it out to them, such as at a hair salon.

    Cause

    In addition to mental stress, endocrine abnormalities, autoimmune diseases, and genetic factors, there are also possible causes.

  • Case

    seborrheic alopecia(Shirosei Datsumo Sho)

    Specialty

    This is a case where excess sebum is secreted from the scalp, causing bacteria to grow on the scalp and causing hair loss.Your pores may become red and inflamed, and you may experience a lot of oily dandruff.It also tends to appear in people with a lot of hair.

    Cause

    Excess sebum is secreted due to hormonal imbalance, which blocks pores and causes inflammation around the pores and hair roots.One possible cause is inflammation that reaches close to the hair root, causing hair to fall out.

  • Case

    Pityriasis alopecia(flying plane)

    Specialty

    Due to dryness of the scalp, the dead skin cells on the scalp peel off, resulting in a large amount of dandruff.Although there are cases where it appears in combination with seborrheic alopecia, it is a relatively rare alopecia.

    Cause

    Excessive shampooing and coloring can damage the scalp, cause inflammation, and dry the scalp.

  • Case

    juvenile alopecia(Jakunensei Datsumo Sho)

    Specialty

    It is a hair loss disease that appears at a young age, from teens to 10s.Symptoms appear at an age when physical aging has not yet begun.Hair matrix cells are no longer able to maintain a normal hair cycle, and hair thinning at the forehead hairline and the top of the head becomes thinner, hair loss increases, and thinning hair gradually becomes noticeable.

    Cause

    In addition to possible hormonal imbalance, other causes include nutritional deficiencies due to excessive dieting, irregular lifestyle habits due to being a night owl, and lack of exercise.In some cases, symptoms can be improved by reviewing lifestyle habits.

Causes of thinning hair/hair loss

One of the causes of hair loss in women is thought to be hormonal imbalance.So, what causes hormonal imbalance?The reason lies in a surprisingly familiar place.

  • Case

    aging

    Like skin, hair cells begin to age as we age, and the number of hair follicles gradually decreases.Most hair thinning and hair loss due to aging begins in the late 30s, and many women in their 60s and older experience these symptoms.

  • Case

    Eating habits/lifestyle

    Casual lifestyle habits such as an unbalanced diet, night owl lifestyle, poor blood circulation due to stress and air conditioning, etc. can disrupt the hormonal balance and cause hair loss and thinning.

  • Case

    excessive diet

    If you go on an excessive diet, the necessary nutrients cannot be delivered to the hair matrix cells, which can cause hair to fall out, lose its luster, become dry, and cause hair thinning and hair loss.

  • Case

    wrong hair care

    Using shampoos and styling products that don't suit your scalp, as well as excessive coloring and perming, can damage your hair.Also, if you always tie your hair, this can irritate your hair and cause hair thinning and hair loss.

  • Case

    Pregnancy/childbirth

    Pregnant women are prone to hormonal imbalances, and there are cases where hair loss occurs temporarily after childbirth, but in most cases the hormonal balance gradually returns to its original state.

  • Case

    Other

    Possible causes include excessive drinking and smoking, temporary hair loss due to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, skin diseases, and the effects of ultraviolet rays.
