Dandruff hair loss

The hair that we have on our head not only serves a cosmetic purpose but also helps us in regulating the temperature of our head. So, we have to take proper care of the hair and the scalp to make sure that there is an abundant growth of hair. An itchy scalp is not a symptom that you should ignore as it could lead to hair loss or the thinning of hair in the affected area. In fact, itchy scalp is one of the leading causes of hair fall and thinning hair in people especially those who are above the age of twenty five.
Medical researchers have long established the fact that dandruff can be another cause of an itchy scalp. Now, we all know that dandruff can be controlled by applying shampoos that contain dandruff reducing chemicals in them. Which are these shampoos and what are the active ingredients in these shampoos that help you combat the problems arising out of dandruff hair loss? These are questions that need to be addressed if you are to get over the complications that are posed by medical conditions like dandruff and itchy scalp hair loss in an effective manner.

Some  causes treatment for danfruff hair loss

Aside from a having serious illness, your hair loss is affected by scalp cleanliness, stress, diet, and excess DHT. Knowing this, you can check out many hair loss remedies available to you.

DHT (di-hydro-testosterone)

When excessive amounts of testosterone are converted to DHT by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, this DHT accumulates at the hair root where it blocks blood circulation to that hair follicle. This decrease in blood to the hair root weakens it and it loses its health.
DHT also accumulates in the follicle and starts to plug it, thus further inactivating this hair follicle. The result is your hair starts to thin.
For women, DHT formation is not a major activity until menopause. Before menopause, estrogen blocks the formation of DHT. When estrogen decreases after menopause, DHT starts to form causing hair loss in women.
There are now shampoos that help to clean off accumulated DHT from the scalp and from within the hair follicles. Use them to stop hair loss and to recover some of the hair follicles that are still alive.
here are also some pills that block the formation of DHT in the blood, but I don't recommend them since it is not known what the longer term effects are of their use.

Stress

Stress is a major contributor to many illnesses. It can also be the main reason for your loss of hair. Many years I was under a lot of stress at my new job. During the first 3 month there, I experience excessive top hair loss.
When you have hair loss due to stress, you can recover it, if you take action right away. First look at your high stress level and start reducing it. Next, start supplementing your diet with a good hair loss nutritional supplement.

Scalp cleanliness.

If you have dandruff, you need to get rid of it. Dandruff can be a source of hair loss when it combines with dirt, shampoo chemicals, and excess sebum follicle oil. Over time this combination of chemicals can create a film on your scalp that hardens and start to plug up your hair follicles. Once plugged, your follicles can't support hair growth.
Dandruff can be caused by excess stress, dry scalp, or chemical irritations. Look to see if you have excess stress in your life and find a way to reduce it. Chemical irritations can come from the shampoos that you are using.
Look for shampoos and conditioners that have natural ingredients. Start moving away from those hair products that have so many petrochemicals and dyes. Petrochemicals are those ingredients that you are not familiar with on the ingredient label - propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and FD&C colorings.

Diet

What you eat feeds your body. The type of body you have is based on what you eat. If you do not provide enough nutrients to your body, you hair will not receive enough nutrients to grow. Your hair is last in line for nutrients you supply your body. One way to improve your diet is eat more fruits in the morning and more vegetable for lunch and dinner. You can consider eating natural foods the prevent hair loss.
