Hair fall, Is it a Serious Problem?

David, one of my patients, came to me the other day with his hair problem. David is a cool, funky guy with lot of attitude and if talking about David, then he is a guy with all coo-to-do attitude. He loves his hair and he is very passionate about various hair styles and all. He used to apply a lot of gels and hair sprays. He changed his hairstyles more than he changed his girlfriends. Well, this is something personal, it is his problem.


“Doctor, I am losing my hair, what to do?” David asked me. Hair loss is a serious problem and everyone knows. David now is losing his hair and his problems are emerging from his scalp.


Nobody knows precisely why this happens, but as you might notice, you would be able to understand that hair loss happens due to many reasons. In David’s case, he smokes a lot, applies gel and other hairstyling products, which are harmful for the sensitive hair.





Hair possesses sensitive tissues and taking care of one’s hair is a really important factor. The thin layer present around the tissues helps in enhancing strength and when care is not taken, then they expand and break, which results in hair fall issue. In order to avoid this problem, you should do the following:


* Apply oil regularly as oil lubricates the tissues and helps in growth
* Avoid smoking as it contains nicotine and harmful tar, which breaks hair
* Chemical products should be shunned
* Do not take stress for anything as the heat grow within the scalp, resulting in severe hair loss
* Comb your hair regularly as combing boosts the blood flow in the tissues



So, what do you think? Will David come out of his hair fall problem? Do you think by avoiding chemical applications, can David regain his lost hair? Should David quit smoking?
