When do you start to notice that the top of your head is thinning out and your hair is falling out like autumn leaves? When do you wash your hair and watch a lot of hair run down the water, or do you wake up in the morning with strands of hair on your pillow, on the floor, or in the bathroom drain?

Hair loss, which is not as painful as a disease, does not directly affect our health, but it brings endless anxiety and worry psychologically. They are constantly worried: How soon will I become bald?

In fact, the process from hair loss to baldness, like the change of seasons, has no set pattern to follow. It can happen in as little as a year or two and catch people off guard, or it can take twenty or thirty years to get through the worry. The medical community has published a time range of 5 to 25 years.

The reason why this time span is so large is because everyone's situation is different. For example, factors such as the living environment, the cause of hair loss, the amount of hair, the amount of hair lost per day, and the rate of hair loss can all have an impact on the hair loss process. In addition, an individual's lifestyle habits, eating habits, and whether or not to undergo anti-hair loss treatment will also have a significant impact on the hair loss process.

Nowadays, hair loss is no longer the exclusive domain of middle-aged and elderly people, it is quietly eroding the lives of young people. The post-90s generation has become the main force of hair loss, and many post-00s have also joined the hair loss army early. In the face of hair loss, some people are frightened, and some people are calm. Among these many types of hair loss, androgenetic alopecia, also known as seborrheic alopecia, is undoubtedly the most troublesome one. This type of hair loss is characterized by excessive hair oil, receding hairline in an "M" shape, thinning hair, and a clearly visible scalp. To make matters worse, this hair loss can also be inherited, with a genetic effect of up to 80%。

Even if the final result must be baldness, there is a big difference between becoming bald after more than 20 years and becoming bald after 2 years. In the early stage of hair loss, focusing on maintenance can slow down the speed of hair loss to a certain extent. Here are some suggestions:

(1) Maintain a balanced diet: Healthy hair growth requires adequate nutrition. It's a good idea to include all the vitamins, minerals, and proteins you need for healthy hair growth. For example, high-quality protein, high-vitamin foods, and less spicy and irritating foods.

(2) Maintain a good routine: Adequate sleep and proper exercise help your body to be healthy, thereby slowing down the rate of hair loss.

(3) Reduce stress: Long-term mental stress may lead to hair loss. Try relaxing activities like meditation, yoga, etc., to reduce stress.

(4) Avoid overstyling: Excessive use of chemicals such as hair dryers, perms, and hair dyes may damage hair and lead to hair loss. Minimize the frequency of these looks.

(5) Use the right hair care products: Choose shampoos and conditioners that are suitable for your hair type and avoid products that contain harsh ingredients.

If your hair loss has progressed to an advanced stage, that is, a large area of the scalp is exposed, and it has lasted for a period of time, the hair follicles have basically died and the hair can no longer grow. If you want to save your image, you can choose to shave your head, wear a hat, wig, etc.

Of course, wigs will be more effective, not only will you be able to do all kinds of styling and regain your hair, but you can also wear it for a long time, and the effect is actually not inferior to real hair。
