Seborrheic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness and androgenic alopecia, is clinically manifested as greasy, dandruff-prone hair, obvious itching, and progressive hair loss in the forehead and top area, followed by the formation of High amount. This disease is a common and frequently-occurring disease in dermatology, and it is also one of the difficult-to-treat diseases. Because this disease affects the appearance and often brings great mental pressure and psychological burden to patients, it has attracted the attention of many people seeking beauty. So, how should seborrheic alopecia be treated and relieved?
95% of male hair loss is classified as male pattern baldness. While the dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the male body makes the body stronger, it also has side effects, that is, it attacks hair follicles, and is more common in patients with a family history of inheritance. Hair follicles are more sensitive to DHT, which explains the genetic importance of seborrheic alopecia. If you want to better alleviate seborrheic alopecia, you can start from the following three aspects:
Adjust water and oil balance: The reshaping of water and oil balance is crucial for seborrheic alopecia. People with seborrheic alopecia are affected by androgens, and their scalp oil secretion is abnormally strong. The hair follicle killer DHT will accelerate scalp oil secretion. Many patients only focus on oil removal, but oil comes from sebaceous glands and is affected by hormones. Oil removal cannot solve the problem of excessive scalp oil secretion from the root cause. It may even lead to scalp dehydration and more intense oil secretion after excessive cleaning. The balance of water and oil is broken, and eventually the more you wash, the more oil you get. Oil control and hydration are both indispensable. Beauty seekers can choose shampoo products that add mild surfactants (amino acid surfactants, glucosides, betaine) on the basis of sulfates, which can not only remove fat and dirt, but also reduce irritation to the scalp barrier. Ingredients such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid can form a moisture-locking protective film on the scalp. Let the sebaceous glands stop letting themselves go and turn off the faucet of the sebaceous glands.
Bacterial flora and acid-base balance: A healthy scalp and microorganisms, Malassezia, Staphylococcus, etc. can be digested peacefully. Once Malassezia overproduces, it will stimulate scalp oil. Secretion, the excessive secretion of oil by the scalp continues to provide nutrients to Malassezia. Dandruff and hair follicle inflammation both remind us that microorganisms and Malassezia have begun to increase, and the scalp flora is becoming imbalanced. Although there is no "acid-base hair", the normal scalp pH value is between 4.5-6.5, which is slightly acidic. After the balance between flora and water and oil is lost, the pH of the scalp will be affected by the linkage. Clean the scalp gently without overdoing it, and choose weak acidic shampoo to maintain a suitable microenvironment for hair growth after the water and oil balance is reshaped.
Scalp health: The metabolism of hair is divided into three stages, growth phase, regression phase and resting phase. The health of the scalp plays a key role. The three balances of the scalp are broken and the scalp becomes no longer healthy. The decline in scalp health will lead to a decline in the scalp's ability to deliver nutrients to hair follicles and hair metabolism, and the hair will enter the regression phase from the growth phase in advance. , the number of hair follicles in the growth phase decreases, and the number of hair follicles in the catagen phase increases. The amount of hair loss is greater than the amount of hair growth. The dynamic balance between the amount of hair growth and the amount of hair loss is broken. More hair follicles stay in the dormant phase, and the hair quality and quantity will deteriorate.
