How Much Hair Can Be Lost in 200 Days?
Hair loss seems increasingly common among young people today, especially programmers working long hours. Recently, a netizen shared a video showing hair lost over 200+ days, sparking discussion that age impacts shedding. So, can anything be done if shedding is severe? Let's explore.
- How much hair can be lost in 200+ days?
It varies individually. The netizen recorded their daily shedding over 12 days which accumulated significantly, indicating potential need for a wig. I used to boast about having ample hair to spare. Alas, my youthful bluster was misguided...
For those with concerning shedding, try washing hair with ginger juice to stimulate growth (blend ginger and steep hair 10 minutes before normal wash). New hairs should emerge after consistent use for about 2 years. No need to fear shedding from late nights!
- What if shedding is already severe - can hair still be treated?
It's best to avoid further chemical processing and heat treatments if shedding is already significant. However, dying may be acceptable if hair is falling out completely from the roots versus breaking mid-shaft. Lowlights are gentler than highlights. Still, chemical exposure through the scalp and follicles poses health concerns like leukemia or lymphoma from accumulation over time. Carefully weigh risks and benefits.
- What can be done about hair loss as we age?
- Wash hair correctly - use warm water, pat dry with a towel, avoid blasting hot air, detangle beforehand with a wide-tooth comb. Men can likely skip detangling.
- Diet - Avoid spicy and oily foods. Eat a balanced diet with vitamins and supplements like walnuts and black sesame.
- Mental state - Maintain a positive attitude and exercise appropriately.
- Hair loss remedies - Try products like Rogaine droplets after washing and drying. Use a scalp massager daily to increase blood flow and stimulate follicles.
In summary, hair loss over time is normal but can be distressing. While genetics play a role, proper diet, scalp care, hair washing techniques, and avoiding damage from dyes, perms and heat styling can help slow shedding. If concerned, see a trichologist for customized treatment.
