Both male or female are affected by hereditary hair loss, female tend to see a widening part an overall thinning of the hair, hair transplantation, PRP therapy is surgical intervention for hair loss. Another option is minoxidil, the over-the-counter foam or liquid that�s applied to the scalp. The prescription pill finasteride, which decreases the levels of dihydrotestosterone (a hormone linked with male-pattern baldness) so baldness is decreased. Lifestyle and health can affect the pace and progress of genetic hair loss. It can be accelerated by stress, smoking, being overweight and thyroid problem. Other reasons why people lose hair include poor nutrition, heavy hair extensions, straightening, tightening, highlighting and hormonal changes during menopause or after childbirth, medications. Carbohydrate, protein and fat are necessary for hair building and regrowth, found in balanced diet. Vitamin B, C, D, A is necessary for hair generation and synthesis. Vitamin A from vegetable source is better than animal source. Ascorbic acid 2 phosphate promotes elongation of hair shafts via secretion of insulin like growth factor 1 from dermal papilla cells.
