Myth or Fact? The truth about Hair Loss

,

If you are wondering what is truth and what is fiction when it comes to hair loss, then it is time to stop the guessing game, take action and get good information! Van Scoy Hair Clinic in Ohio has been helping men and women who are dealing with hair loss since 1969. They can help you find the answers and solutions you are looking for.

Myth #1 – Hair Coloring Causes Permanent Hair Loss
This is a myth. Style products and hair coloring can cause some temporary damage to your hair, but they should not damage the follicles below your scalp, therefore should not cause permanent hair loss.

Myth #2 – Hair Loss Only Comes From Your Mother’s Side
Luckily for moms, this one is a myth. Hair loss can be hereditary, but the genes come from both sides of your family. Genetic hair loss is very common…it is also very treatable.

Myth #3 – When You Lose Your Hair, You Lose Your Identity
There is actually some truth to this myth. Hair is a source of pride for both men and women, which can make losing your hair very difficult emotionally. However, the truth is there are many options available and by taking control of your situation and finding hair loss solutions you can gain a stronger sense of identity and confidence.

Myth #4 – It Is Better To Brush Your Hair Than To Comb It
This is a myth. It is actually better for your hair if you use a comb. Brushing your hair can cause split ends and temporarily damage your hair.

Myth #5 – Wearing Hats Causes Hair Loss
This is not true, wearing a hat will NOT cause hair loss.  Even if you love your hat and wear it all the time, rest assured — wearing a hat will not cause your hair to fall out. Your hat would have to be so tight that it would cut off the circulation to your hair follicles. That would be so noticeably uncomfortable you just would not do it.

Myth #6 – Vitamins Can Help Prevent Hair Loss
This is partly true. Vitamin deficiencies, malnutrition and even stress can cause hair loss. Usually, when your body is replenished with the vitamins and nutrients needed the hair loss will subside. There are some vitamins and medications that can actually improve your hair loss condition. Please consult with a hair restoration specialist to determine what is right for you.

Myth #7 – You Can’t Cure Hair Loss
This is the biggest myth of all and it is definitely not true! There are many treatments available. Some are surgical, such as implants and others are non-surgical like advanced EHT hair loss treatment for men and women. There are options available that make it possible to reduce and even reverse your hair loss condition.

Hair loss affects millions of men and women every year, you are not alone.

What is Trichology

We’ve received a number of inquiries from people coming into our clinic about Trichology, and what a Trichologist does.  So we thought it might be helpful if we posted an article on trichology to give you an idea what it is.

Alopecia areata

Alopecia Areata

Trichology is a subset of dermatology and refers to the study of hair and scalp problems and specifically hair and scalp health. A ‘trichologist’ is someone who specializes in problems of the hair and scalp, and especially hair loss problems such as hair breakage, itchy/flaking scalp and baldness. They also treat all forms of alopecia, including alopecia areata.

You can think of a trichologist as a hair and scalp ‘doctor’. This type of specialists is someone you might consult instead of visiting your general practitioner, particularly if the problem or condition they are experiencing is more specific, such as persistent hair fall, itching and redness of the scalp, etc.

A trichologist will typically perform a thorough intake examination and will go over your medical history, and gather information about your lifestyle, including your diet, stress and other factors, and conduct a thorough examination your hair and/or scalp.

Hair Loss and Hair Loss Treatment

Did you know your hair is an indicator of your over all general health? Hair that is dull and lifeless can often suggest a stressed, unhealthy lifestyle, while hair that is full and shiny can often indicate overall good health. This is only one of the many factors a trichologist may consider when prescribing a course of treatment.

Many people don’t just see a trichologist for hair loss issues but also for advice on keeping their hair and scalp in tip top shape to try and reduce the risk of hair loss.

Hair loss can cause a lot of distress, and there are often misunderstandings about its causes and treatments. Probably the most common type of hair loss is the so-called ‘male pattern baldness’ which, despite its name, can also affect women as a general overall thinning.  While there is no specific, readily-available treatment, it is a problem that requires sympathetic handling, and a qualified hair loss specialist has the experience to understand each individuals anxiety and help him or her understand the type of hair loss they are experiencing and develop an effective strategy to of hair loss treatment or hair restoration.
