How much hair loss is normal for men?

As people age, they will experience hair loss due to various reasons such as poor diet and excessive semen pressure. In fact, it should be said that if a small amount of hair loss is normal, but if hair loss occurs every day and the amount of hair loss exceeds a certain amount, then you should pay attention to whether it is pathological hair loss. So for a normal man, how much hair loss is normal every time he washes his hair?

Under normal circumstances, each person loses 60 to 80 hairs a day. More hair loss often occurs when combing or washing the hair. This is because the hair that is in the resting phase and has not yet fallen out is pulled and falls out. However, if a person loses more than 100 hairs a day, causing thinning hair, it is a pathological condition called alopecia.

1. The direct causes of hair loss are as follows:

1. Mental factors. Mental tension, depression, fear, etc. can all lead to nervous dysfunction, capillaries are continuously in a state of contraction, hair follicles cannot get the corresponding blood supply, and eventually lead to hair loss.

2. Dietary factors. Animal foods provide conditions for the human body to synthesize excessive male hormones. Excessive secretion of male hormones can promote the vigorous secretion of human sebaceous glands. At this time, a kind of lipophage fungus existing on the scalp of normal people will multiply in large numbers. In the process of obtaining nutrients and excreting metabolites, the fungus can stimulate the scalp and hair follicles, forming chronic inflammation, causing the hair follicles to gradually atrophy and the production function to gradually decline.

3. Improper washing. For patients with seborrheic alopecia, the accumulation of sebum on the scalp can create a negative pressure on sebum secretion, thereby slowing down its secretion rate. If you wash your hair frequently at this time, coupled with the stimulation of detergents, it will cause or aggravate the occurrence of hair loss to a certain extent.

4. Other reasons. The incidence of hair loss is often higher in autumn and winter, which may be related to the dry climate affecting people's mental state, or directly affecting the secretion of sebaceous glands.

2. For patients with hair loss, the following points should be achieved:

1. Keep a happy mood and a cheerful spirit. Patients should face life positively, actively adapt to the fast-paced living environment, and correctly deal with the pressure of life, work and study. Do not be obsessed with the alopecia, and have confidence in curing the disease.

2. Eat a balanced diet. Do not eat too much animal food, and eat a balanced diet that is rich in nutrients.

3. Control the frequency of shampooing. Generally, once a week is enough, and twice a week at most in summer and autumn. At the same time, choose a shampoo that has a good cleaning effect and little irritation, and do not use inferior products.

4. Actively treat head skin diseases. For hair loss symptoms on the head, go to the dermatology department in time and ask the dermatologist to give the correct diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.

5. Be patient. Hair growth is a slow process, so don't be impatient. It usually takes 3 to 6 months or longer to cure. Therefore, patients must cooperate with the doctor's treatment and persevere to achieve satisfactory results.
