66% of men and 38% of women all over the world suffer from increased hair loss, and many of them have complete or partial baldness. These figures are huge. What happens and can the situation be reversed?.

According to Pravda, doctors express serious concern in connection with the present epidemic of baldness that has engulfed in recent years not only men, but also the fair sex ... According to experts, by 2030 a large number of people will face the problem of alopecia.

If you are faced with such an adversity, do not rush to resort to "miracle" means of alopecia, which offers advertising. First you need to find out the cause of hair loss. To do this, you should contact a professional doctor - trichologist.

The causes of baldness can be both external and internal. External - this is stress, infection, trauma to the scalp; frequent and prolonged stay in the cold without a headdress; pollution of the environment, acid rain, exposure to chemical reagents; frequent chemical perm, the use of substandard hair dyes, drying hair with a hairdryer without the use of protective preparations and so on..

From internal causes, it is first of all necessary to call a deficiency in the body of such trace elements as iron, zinc, manganese, selenium, etc.. ; serious chronic diseases; irradiation; taking certain drugs (eg, antitumor drugs); as well as hormonal disorders and metabolic disorders.

If the hair is just thinned out, and there is no alopecia yet, then, most likely, it is precisely the lack of trace elements. Try to start taking vitamins and supplements (better after consulting a doctor). Most often, hair falls out because the body lacks calcium. With active consumption of dairy products, the hair covering is restored. In addition, cosmetologists advise in case of hair loss less often to wash their hair and more often to get a haircut.

According to researchers, the percentage of people with hair problems is increasing due to modern realities: most of us lead a sedentary lifestyle, spend a lot of time on computers, we abuse fatty and refined food, uncontrolled use for various purposes of hormonal drugs (this applies , first of all, to women), not to mention bad ecology and stress. To stop losing hair, we need to radically change our lives, and this is not so easy ... Often the causes of baldness are genetic. Sometimes from an early age there is a complete lack of hair on the head, as well as eyebrows and eyelashes, men do not grow a beard. In this case, similar problems can be observed in close relatives. Until recently, it was thought that this hereditary disease could not be cured, but in 1996, American scientists discovered a special hair loss gene - hairless. This allowed us to develop a new approach to the problem.

At a press conference, doctors at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York reported that soon specialists will learn how to grow and remove hair, and also color them in designated places with the help of gene technologies and without any side effects.

"Over the next five years, the problem of baldness will be solved," say the researchers. "Studying the function of the hairless gene will give us the opportunity, finally, to develop effective forms of treatment for this disease".
