How much hair loss is normal?
Nov 17th
There is one thing such as regular hair loss. People lose at least a hundred strands of hair on a daily basis. It’s because in the normal cycle of a person’s hair growth—which is expected to last for at least two to six years—strands of hair fall out regularly and the scalp will grow new ones in about 12 weeks. Yet some people lose more than the expected number of stands in a day. If you notice you’re losing way more than that, then there might be a problem.
Experts say that many of the people who are losing their hair are not even aware of it. If truth to be to be told, many people are nonchalant about the condition of their hair and don’t notice that they are losing their crowning glory if not for the comments of people around them.
Hair relaxers: the culprits
Nov 1st
Many African-American women don’t know the real reason their hair is falling: hair relaxers.
The good, bad and ugly hair days
It was only after losing a huge chunk of hair that I stopped straightening it with chemical relaxer – something I had done growing up in Nigeria since the age of six.
My bald patch was dubbed the “helicopter landing pad” by my flat mates at university for months afterwards.
I share this painful anecdote because a new documentary has re-ignited the natural versus straightened hair debate among black women. read the whole article here.

American Diet Causes Hair Loss
Oct 27th
Now in my latest post, I already spoke about the effect of diet on hair loss. But the following article gives much more details and explanation…..
American diet does not only ruin health and make people fat, the meals high in fat, animal protein, and salt lead to hair loss. Paul Pitchford in Healing with Whole Foods explains that American diet brings damage to kidneys and changes acidity of blood. Both of these factors lead to alopecia or hair loss.
The word “diet” here does not imply the meaning that we are used to: a set of meals which help lose weight; “American diet” is the way people in America eat in their everyday life. Read more here
Causes of hair loss
Oct 21st
What causes hair loss?
Too many people are losing their hair because they don’t pay much attention to the signs and symptoms of hair loss. If you suspect you might be prone to baldness ( due to a family history, for ex), the first thing you should check is the number of strands of hair you lose per day.
This is not an easy task, I admit, but at least you can notice if it’s just a few, or if your hair is falling in the hundreds. Losing about a hundred strand a day is normal. New strands will grow in about 12 weeks. But if you’re losing more than that, you should not take it lightly, and examine what might be the cause.
It’s always a good idea to consult an expert if you’re losing you hair. (S)He will be able to better help you determine the cause. The most common cause of hair loss are listed below:
1. Illnesses or other medical conditions.
This is one of the most common causes of hair loss. Some disease, for example lupus, diabetes, or those that are associated with the thyroid glands can affect the growth and the production of hair in someone’s system.
2. Certain medications
Certain medications like diet pills that contain amphetamines can cause hair loss as a side effect. This happens a lot among teenagers. As well, if you’re undergoing chemotherapy sessions to treat cancer or taking drugs for gout, depression, arthritis, and heart problems, you might experience baldness. If you’re a women and taking birth control pill, don’t be too surprised to see your hair falling.
3. Poor diet
People who have insufficient protein and iron in their bodies will most likely suffer from hair loss. These two components are very important in strengthening your hair and making it grow. Hair loss due to improper nutrition is common among women, since they usually lack iron in their bodies, and they’re more into diets which lead to eating disorders that cause under nutrition. According to the experts, when a person has poor nutrition, there is not enough supply of nutrients such as vitamin and minerals to sustain the growth of the hair.
