How to manage hair loss with your modern lifestyle?
Hair loss (alopecia) is a fairly common phenomenon. Although it is more common in older adults, it can be experienced by anyone, including children.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), it is typical to lose 50 to 100 hairs per day. With about 100,000 hairs on your head, this small loss is not noticeable. New hair usually replaces lost hair, but this does not always happen.
Hair loss can develop gradually over the years, or it can happen suddenly. Depending on the underlying cause, it can be temporary or permanent.

• Washing your hair regularly will keep it looking clean and tidy. Try using a mild shampoo. Harsh anti-dandruff shampoos and conditioners should be avoided. Wash your hair two or three times a week. And when your hair is exposed to sun, dirt, dust and smoke on the go, you can wash it daily.
• There is no oil, gels and lotions can grow bald hair. It only helps to protect the hair from dust, dirt, chemicals and dyes. Always try to oil your hair 30 minutes before bathing. Keep a comb in your bag and brush your hair two to three times a day. Avoid using hair gels or lotions and if it is urgent, use water-based ones.
Medicinal treatment of hair growth is also possible using Minoxidil and Finasteride. They have no side effects and are FDA approved for hair loss problems. These drugs are 90-95 percent safe for treating hair loss.

If you are suffering from proper hair loss and your roots cannot be revived, and no medicines are effective, then you can go for hair transplant. There are two types of head hair transplant, sensitive and insensitive. The head is sensitive to the temporary roots on the top of the head and in the front. Permanent roots on the side and back of the head are insensitive. Permanent roots have receptors that cause changes in the body and cause hair to fall out from the roots.
