Hair Loss Worries
Hair growth, loss and baldness
Hair loss is a big worry to many people, both male and female. If you have a worrying amount of hair in the basin after shampooing, you may think you are on the way to baldness. But this is not usually the case. The 50–100 hairs that everyone loses each day often become tangled with the rest of the hair, but are washed out when we shampoo. So we see what seems like a lot of hair in the basin after shampooing, but in reality these hairs have been shed earlier.
Of course, bald areas are an obvious sign of hair loss, but otherwise it can be difficult to tell whether your hair is getting thinner. To find out, try the ‘tug test’. Hold a small bunch of hair – about 15 or 20 hairs – between the thumb and index finger. Pull slowly and firmly. If more than six hairs come out there may be a problem.
How hair grows.
The portion of the hair that we can see is called the shaft. Each shaft of hair protrudes from its follicle, which is a tube-like pouch just below the surface of the skin. The hair is attached to the base of the follicle by the hair root, which is where the hair actually grows and where it is nourished by tiny blood vessels.
Like the rest of the body, hairs are made of cells. As new cells form at its root, the hair is gradually pushed further and further [...]

Thinning Hair – Coping with Alopecia Hair Loss
How to cope with hair loss from Alopecia Universalis
Listen to this audio>>>: Coping with Alopecia by Dr Nigel Hunt
[ad#Ad-plus-sense]Dr Nigel Hunt’s best friend was killed in a car crash nearly 14 years ago
He was so traumatised that his hair began to fall out.
This caused real problems in his relationship with his partner, who found it impossible to come to terms with his hair loss. In fact, she couldn’t even look at him.
Over a period of about 5 months Nigel lost the hair on his head (including his eyebrows and eyelashes) and on the rest of his body, a condition called Alopecia Universalis. He has now written a book on the subject.
Martha talks to Dr Nigel Hunt and to Becky Parker about how they cope with alopecia.

What causes male hair loss?
What is male hair loss ?
[ad#Ad-plus-sense]Male hair loss (male pattern baldness/androgenic alopecia) is the most common type of hair loss and is caused by increased sensitivity to male sex hormones (androgens) in certain parts of the scalp, and is passed on from generation to generation.
In the past, baldness was often seen as something unfortunate or undesirable. However, this attitude has changed over the years and nowadays a clean-shaven head is usually considered both fashionable and attractive.
Reviewed by Professor James Ferguson, consultant dermatologist
What causes male hair loss?
Some men have areas on the scalp that are very sensitive to the male sex hormones that circulate in men’s blood. The hormones make the hair follicles – from which hair grows – shrink. Eventually, they become so small that they cannot replace lost hairs. The follicles are still alive, but are no longer able to perform their task.
The condition usually starts in men aged 20 to 30 and follows a typical pattern. First, a receding hairline develops, and gradually the hair on top of the head also begins to thin. Eventually, the two balding areas meet to form a typical U-shape around the back and sides of the head. The hair that remains is often finer, and does not grow as quickly as it used to.
Can male hair loss be prevented?
Male hair loss is genetically determined (passed on from parents). Although a doctor can offer medical treatment to improve the condition, this may have side effects.
What can be done at home?
You need to decide [...]
