"Hair loss", when mentioned, many people will be upset. Nowadays, more and more people wake up in the morning to see their hair on the pillow, which is really worrying. If hair loss is severe enough to cause baldness, it is even more serious than disfigurement.
The reason why hair loss occurs at an earlier age, around 20, is closely related to personal diet and hair washing habits. The following substances affect hair loss.
1. Cigarettes and fumes
The nicotine in cigarettes causes the scalp blood vessels to contract and the hair follicles to deteriorate, and the fumes produced during cooking easily irritate the scalp hair follicles, which can lead to hair loss due to follicular shrinkage.
Recommendation: Quit smoking, avoid second-hand smoke, and wear a shower cap when cooking to separate the hair from the fumes.
2. Century eggs
For people with severe hair loss, try to eat less century eggs because they have a higher lead content, which can worsen hair loss.
Recommendation: Eat fewer century eggs. Those who like eggs can try different ways to cook regular eggs, which also taste great.
3. Sweets
Sweets are high-calorie foods. Eating too much can promote the growth of mites. If your scalp is already sparse, itchy, and prone to hair loss, these sweets will make your hair loss worse.
Recommendation: Maintain a balanced diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat less sweets.
4. Pillow or pillowcase
Pillows or pillowcases that are not frequently washed are covered with bacteria, and people often sleep on them, causing mites to appear. Demodex can cause redness, acne, oiliness, and a lot of dandruff on the scalp. The excessive breeding and proliferation of demodex can result in hair loss.
Recommendation: Wash pillows and pillowcases regularly. You can use non-ionic shampoo with rosemary, which is gentle, has good deep cleansing power, and can also kill bacteria, nourish the scalp, and adjust sebum secretion.
5. Shampoos containing sodium lauryl sulfate
Shampoos with this ingredient have strong alkalinity, strong degreasing and dehydrating properties, which can easily cause dry hair and scalp necrosis.
Recommendation: When buying shampoo, check the ingredients. Do not buy shampoos with this ingredient. Choose weakly alkaline shampoos that are non-irritating to the hair.
