Detailed exposition of sections:
Section 1: Understanding the density of hair and factors affecting it
-
1.1. Determination of hair density and its meaning: The thickness of the hair is determined by the number of hair follicles per square centimeter of the scalp. This indicator significantly affects the appearance of the hairstyle, the volume and ease of styling. Visually thick hair looks more healthy and attractive. Low density can be associated with genetic factors, age -related changes or a deficiency of nutrients, which can lead to noticeable thinning of hair and laying problems.
-
1.2. Hair anatomy: structure and life cycle: The hair consists of three main parts: the rod (visible part of the hair), the root (located in the scalp) and hair follicle (a bag in which the hair grows). The life cycle of the hair includes three phases: anagen (a phase of active growth, lasts from 2 to 7 years), Katagen (the transition phase, lasts about 2-3 weeks) and a hebogen (resting phase, lasts about 3 months). At the end of the heterogene phase of the hair falls, and in its place the new hair in the anagen phase begins to grow. The thickness of the hair is influenced by the duration of the anagen phase and the number of hair follicles located in this phase.
-
1.3. Factors affecting the density of hair: genetics, hormones, age: The genetic predisposition plays a key role in determining the density of the hair. If the family has cases of baldness or thinning of hair, the probability of encountering a similar problem increases. Hormonal changes, especially in women (pregnancy, menopause), can significantly affect hair density. With age, hair follicles can decrease in size, which leads to thinning and hair loss.
-
1.4. The effect of nutrition and a deficiency of nutrients on hair health: Hair, like any other body tissues, needs sufficient nutrients for normal growth and functioning. The deficiency of vitamins, minerals and amino acids can adversely affect the health of the hair, leading to its thinning, brittleness and loss. Especially important are B vitamins, iron, zinc, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids.
-
1.5. Stress and its effect on density and hair loss: Chronic stress can have a negative effect on hair follicles, leading to hair loss. Stress can disrupt the hormonal balance, cause inflammation and worsen blood circulation in the scalp, which negatively affects hair growth. Especially often, with stress, tedogenic alopecia is observed – hair loss in the rest phase.
-
1.6. Medical conditions affecting the density of hair: thyroid gland, anemia, autoimmune diseases: Diseases of the thyroid gland (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism) can cause hormonal imbalance, which leads to hair loss. Anemia (iron deficiency) is also often the cause of hair loss, since iron is necessary to transfer oxygen to hair follicles. Autoimmune diseases, such as the alopecia of the area, can lead to focal hair loss.
-
1.7. External factors: hair damage, improper care, thermal effect: Incorrect hair care, frequent use of thermal tools (hair dryer, ironing, curling iron), chemical curls or dyeing can damage the hair structure, making it brittle and thin. Aggressive shampoos and styling products containing sulfates and parabens can also negatively affect hair health.
