Hair loss bundles is one of the fairly common trichological pathologies. This article will talk about the causes of this condition, as well as solutions to the problem.
Common causes
Hair from a head falls out at each person. This is a completely normal reaction of the body and indicates the physiological process of renewal. For example, if a person loses up to 25 hairs per day, then he practically does not notice this. However, there are situations when curls begin to fall out in clumps.
The problem of severe hair loss can face both men and women. However, the majority of representatives of the stronger sex for a long time does not give this "event" due attention. Women, according to medical statistics, turn to trichologists much more often and quickly.
If after washing a large tuft of hair has fallen out, then in this case it is necessary to be alert. An alarming sign is also a fact when this situation is repeated many times. Some people notice this problem for the first time when they start to find fallen hair strands in the bathroom or on the floor of the shower stall. Experts recommend that in such a situation, do not hesitate to visit the trichologist. This doctor will conduct a comprehensive examination, including with the use of special instrumental devices, and then be able to make the correct diagnosis and prescribe the necessary therapy. And also the trichologist necessarily makes a set of recommendations for the care of hair.
External influences, of course, affect the state of the curls. Every day, our strands are exposed to environmental factors. Styling devices also have a negative effect on hair rods, for example, a hair dryer or a hair straightener. Some women say that they are faced with the problem of a strong loss of curls after they made carving or perm.
If the hair crawls, then in this case you should definitely find out the cause of this condition. Trichologists point out that pathological hair loss can be caused by a single cause or a combination of several causal factors. They recommend to approach each case individually.
To determine the real cause of the pathological loss of curls can only a qualified doctor. However, it is also possible to suspect what the cause of this problem was.
Seasonality
The time of year certainly affects the appearance of the hair. In the cold months, the air is exposed to cold air and wind. In this case, after a walk in the dank weather, you can not only catch a cold, but also face the problem that the curls will start to climb hard.
Experts explain such negative consequences quite simply. In the skin of the head are the hair follicles. These formations are fairly well supplied with blood and innervated. Hair follicles are an extremely important anatomical element for healthy hair. If their blood supply is disturbed for some reason, this leads to the fact that curls of locks begin to fall out more strongly. Such a causal factor in this case becomes the effect of low temperature and local overcooling of the skin of the head by the wind.
The risk of encountering pathological loss of curls at the same time is significantly higher for those who, even in the cold season, do not like to wear hats.
The peak of strong hair loss for seasonal reasons often also occurs in the spring. At this time (especially among residents of northern countries), vitamin-mineral imbalance begins to develop in the body. It is connected not only with the fact that the amount of necessary vitamins and minerals is reduced in the diet, but also with the fact that insolation is not high enough.
In summer, when the sun's rays become more active, the content of vitamin D will increase in the internal environment of the body through a cascade of chemical reactions. This means that the risk of the problem of increased hair loss during the summer season will decrease, since this element helps to strengthen the curls.
Malnutrition
The condition of the hair depends largely on what the person eats. If in the blood due to unbalanced nutrition decreases the content of important elements for the body, then this becomes the cause of severe hair loss. For example, a decrease in protein in the diet can lead to deterioration of the hair. Such changes often occur in those who abuse fast food or eat an insufficient amount of protein products.
Many representatives of the beautiful half of humanity often experiment with different diets. Many of them imply an unbalanced diet. Decrease in the physiological needs of the receipt of nutrients that are important for the body in many cases is the reason why the curls begin to crawl.
Stress
Many people who are faced with a strong loss of curls, often associate this with the effects of stress factors. So, this problem quite often appears after a painful divorce, moving to a new place of residence, an operation that was postponed and many other factors. Trichologists note that stress, indeed, can lead to a strong loss of curls.
The duration of stress exposure and its intensity seriously affect the condition of the hair. For example, if the stress is short and passes quickly, then there should be no adverse effects on the hair.
However, if the stress factor acts for a rather long time, then the probability that the hair will begin to climb heavily is rather high. For example, if for a long time a person suffers some kind of emotionally uncomfortable situation for him, then this may lead to the fact that he will have to face a strong loss of curls.
Stress effect leads to a change in the blood of a whole spectrum of hormones. This specific "restructuring" in the body leads to the fact that the normal blood supply and innervation of the hair follicles changes. Such changes and become the reason that curls begin to fall out strongly.
Lack of vitamins
Vitamin imbalance - a fairly common cause of the appearance of pathological loss of curls. Moreover, this problem can lead to a deficiency of a single vitamin, or several at once. Decrease in the blood supply of vitamins of complex B may cause the blood supply and innervation of the hair follicles to deteriorate.
Lack of carotenoids can also cause the appearance of pathological hair loss. These important substances are found in many vegetables and fruits that have a bright yellow, orange and red color. All the cells of the human body need these components. We need it for curls. The balance of vitamin A in the body is very important to maintain. Experts note that not only the deficit of this important component, but also its excess can lead to the problem of alopecia.
Improper care
Each person has their own individual hair characteristics. So, in some people the hair is rather thin, in others it is thick. For each type of hair requires a special due care.And in order to preserve a beautiful head of hair, it is necessary that all the care products are chosen correctly. In practice, this is often not the case. Specialists in caring for curls note that the wrong choice of hair care products is often the cause, which leads to a pathological loss of curls.
Too frequent washing of the hair also, according to many experts, can lead to the fact that the hair will begin to fall heavily.
Some women wash their hair every day, and use a hairdryer for drying each time, often avoiding the use of special thermal protection agents.
Such improper care for curls in some cases in just a few weeks can cause their strong loss.
Diseases
Not only the influence of any external factors or improper care, but also a number of pathologies can lead to pathological hair loss. So, the cause of this condition can be:
- thyroid disease;
- scalp fungal infection;
- endocrine disruption;
- anemia;
- immunodeficiency states;
- erectile dysfunction (in men);
- a number of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- infectious and autoimmune diseases.
What to do?
When detecting the fact of severe hair loss, first of all, you should not ignore this problem. Some people think that there is no need to treat pathological prolapse in some way, since it will pass by itself. However, trichologists consider such judgments to be a big mistake. They note that if the problem of pathological loss appeared, then it must not be ignored, but eliminated.
Folk remedies

- Mask of onions. For its preparation it is necessary to take 1.5 st. l juice obtained from bulb onions, honey and sunflower oil. For better mixing the ingredients are best placed in a water bath.

Care Tips

- Do not forget about regular combing. This simple procedure helps to improve the blood flow in the hair roots. Such an impact also contributes to the fact that curls fall out less.
