Most people expect hair loss or thinning as they get older, but it can be a real shock when it happens in your 20s. The truth is that hair loss can occur at any age, including your 20s. If you find yourself in this situation, there are three things you should know. The first is that you are not alone. The second is that you do not have to live the rest of your life with hair loss. The third is to be proactive to seek a solution for your hair loss to get the best results. Let’s take a closer look at the causes of hair loss and the solutions available to you.
Causes of Hair Loss
Each person is different and experiences hair loss for different reasons. Let’s dive into the most common causes of hair loss and thinning.
Hereditary
Genetics is the most common cause of hair loss, especially among men. You may be genetically predisposed to balding if you have relatives who experienced hair loss at a young age.
Elevated Stress Levels
Chronic high levels of stress have many negative effects on the body, including hair loss. When you experience stress for long periods of time, the hair’s growth cycle is interrupted, causing more hair than normal to fall out.
Lack of Proper Nutrition
Your hair needs certain nutrients, such as protein and biotin, to support healthy hair growth. Failing to consume a balanced diet can prevent the hair follicles from growing new strands of hair.
Lifestyle Habits
Lifestyle habits such as smoking are not only bad for your lungs but also suppress hair growth. The reason is that smoking damages blood vessels, which, in turn, reduces blood flow to hair follicles, rendering them unable to grow hair.
Medical Conditions & Medications
Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid issues or hormonal imbalances, can lead to hair loss or thinning. Furthermore, medications such as antidepressants and chemotherapy can have hair loss as a side effect.
Hair Loss Solutions
Regardless of the reason for your hair loss, there are several solutions to help you restore your full head of hair and regain your life.
Laser Hair Growth
For those looking to restore their natural hair, laser hair growth is a great option. This FDA-approved treatment involves increasing blood flow to the scalp and stimulating hair follicles using low levels of laser light. Laser hair growth as a hair loss solution has been proven to slow or stop the progression of hair loss.
Hair Replacement Systems
If you are interested in a non-surgical, 100% effective permanent hair loss solution, then a hair replacement system is ideal for you! The hair system matches your natural hair perfectly and blends in seamlessly to give you a natural look and feel.
Wigs, Toppers, & Extensions
Wigs
High-quality wigs are an excellent temporary hair loss solution. Custom wigs are made specifically for your scalp measurements and can match your natural look or give you a bold new look.
Toppers
For those experiencing hair loss on the top of the head, toppers are a great option. They address balding and thinning on the top of the head and integrate seamlessly with your natural hair for a flawless look and feel.
Extensions
Extensions provide volume and length to the sides of your hair. Have the creative freedom to choose extensions that match your natural hair, get highlights or lowlights, or have fun by adding a bold new color. They are easy to insert and remove, providing ultimate versatility.
