(06-03-2018) Understanding baldness: Causes, types and potential home remedies




(Natural News) Baldness isnot just simply losing hair. For men, it can cause distress. Those who try to cure their baldness are mocked for being vain, while those who are balding are made fun for being old and unattractive. Balding, for men, means losing their manliness. This can be likened to menopause which is often associated with loss of femininity for women. More than these, baldness can lead to a lot of psychological and emotional problems linked to self-confidence and self-esteem.

“I have seen many men who have become clinically depressed as a result of starting to lose their hair, and several have tried to kill themselves because it made them so low and desperate,” wrote Dr. Max Pemberton forDaily Mail Online.

Themain risk factors of baldnessare genetics and hormones. Other possible causes of baldness include aging, hormonal imbalance, injury or burns, scalp infections, such as ringworm, iron deficiency, insufficient protein content in diet, family history of baldness, medical conditions or diseases that cause hair loss, and medicines used in chemotherapy.

There are different types of baldness, depending on the causes and the age and gender of the person. The types of baldness include the following:

Male pattern baldness– This type of baldness is hereditary and is seen in men. It can start with a bald spot or a reclining hairline.
Female pattern baldness– This is seen in women and is also linked to the genes of the person, but it seldom leads to complete baldness.
Alopecia areata– This causes bald spots which can also turn intoalopecia totalisif all hair on the scalp is lost.
Scarring alopecia– This occurs when the bald spots are caused by injury, burns, radiation, or diseases like skin infections.
Toxic alopecia– Typically caused by severe illnesses, high fevers, or certain medications, this type of baldness is usually temporary.

Instead of suffering from the side effects of baldness or hair loss medications, try treating the condition with the natural home remedies listed below.
