Myths and Truths About Hair Loss

0

Hair loss is a topic that raises many doubts and concerns. There are numerous myths and truths about hair loss circulating regarding what causes it and how to prevent it. In this blog, we clarify some of the most popular beliefs and provide you with science-based information.

MYTHS AND REALITIES

  1. WASHING YOUR HAIR EVERY DAY CAUSES HAIR LOSS
    Myth. The frequency of washing is not related to hair loss. What can affect hair health is the use of harsh products or water that is too hot, which can weaken the hair fiber.

  2. STRESS CAUSES HAIR LOSS
    Truth. Extreme stress situations can cause a condition called telogen effluvium, where hair enters a resting phase and temporarily falls out. However, in most cases, hair regrows once the stress is reduced.

  3. WEARING CAPS OR HATS CAUSES HAIR LOSS
    Myth. There is no scientific evidence supporting this claim. However, if the cap is too tight and causes constant friction, it could weaken hair in those areas.

  4. CUTTING YOUR HAIR FREQUENTLY MAKES IT GROW STRONGER
    Myth. Hair growth happens from the root, not the ends. Cutting hair may make it look healthier but does not affect its thickness or growth rate.

  5. DIET INFLUENCES HAIR HEALTH
    Truth. A diet deficient in iron, biotin, zinc, and other vitamins can weaken hair and cause it to fall out. Maintaining a balanced diet helps keep hair strong and healthy.

  6. FREQUENT USE OF HAIR DRYERS AND STRAIGHTENERS CAUSES HAIR LOSS
    Myth. These tools can weaken the hair fiber and cause breakage but do not directly affect hair loss from the root. It is important to use heat protectants to minimize damage.

  7. HEREDITY INFLUENCES BALDNESS
    Truth. Androgenetic alopecia (common baldness) has a strong genetic component. If there is a family history, it is more likely to occur, especially in men.

  8. MINOXIDIL AND FINASTERIDE TREATMENTS CAN HELP
    Truth. These treatments are scientifically approved and have shown effectiveness in preventing and reversing hair loss in some cases.

  9. EXOSOMES AND HAIR THERAPIES ARE THE FUTURE OF HAIR TREATMENT
    Truth. New therapies such as exosomes, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), and the DHI technique offer advanced solutions to combat hair loss and improve hair density.
