Active ingredients and hormones in baldness masks

Alopecia is a pathological baldness in men and women, which has recently become a global problem. On the one hand, the efforts of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries are aimed at improving a person's physical condition and meeting the aesthetic requirements of modern society, on the other hand, poor ecology, stress, poor nutrition, and as a result, hormonal disruptions, cause their own damage.

Currently, baldness masks, as a conservative treatment method, can be divided into hormonal and non-hormonal. The first type of masks assumes that the problem of hair loss and the cause of hair loss are established through a medical examination, and treatment is prescribed by a trichologist.

The fact is that hair loss can be caused by various factors, which, in addition to the hormonal cause (genetic predisposition), include fungal and viral diseases of the scalp; human diseases in which alopecia is secondary, such as diabetes; malnutrition; negative effects of external factors; psychosomatic causes and taking certain hormonal drugs.

The unjustified use of hormone-based masks can be comparable to treating the symptoms of a disease without understanding its cause. In fairness, it should be noted that the proportion of such diseases and influencing factors is small, and if they are present, it is irrational to use not only hormonal masks, but also masks with other principles of action.

Experts agree that in most cases, the cause of hair loss is a change in the hormonal background that occurs with age, and its degree is genetically inherent in a person. Unfortunately, they almost unanimously declare that no homemade masks or non-hormonal cosmetic preparations (shampoos, hair masks) provide a cardinal solution to the problem of genetic alopecia.

All these measures are more likely to bring a short-term "effect" of increasing hair density, due to an overall increase in their quality, blood supply and nutrition of hair follicles and skin health.

Homemade baldness masks, as a topical remedy, are aimed directly at stimulating hair follicles and improving blood circulation in the skin, on the scalp. Therefore, the beneficial effect of baldness masks is based on two principles: irritation and stimulation of hair growth, nutrition and improvement of the quality of the scalp, which, with a positive effect, lead, in general, to greater hair health. The same applies to "pseudo-hormonal" masks based on the action of phytoestrogens ("plant hormones"). Their share in home masks is so small that it cannot have a really serious impact on the quality of the scalp.

Topical medications include masks, the main principle of which is to slow down the body's production of androgen hormones, or partially block the action of androgens on the hair follicle by increasing its resistance to the action of hormones.

Thus, the only effective remedy for baldness is masks based on medications. They can bring victory in the case of irreversible genetic baldness, but the question remains - is it worth fighting it? After all, baldness is a natural process and it will not be possible to stop it forever, even these remedies only have an effect for the duration of their application.

Wouldn't it be better to treat your hair carefully from childhood? Do not do aggressive procedures, dry your hair with a cooler stream of air, nourish your hair, massage? Thus, you will approach the moment of the beginning of natural baldness with a richer head of hair, and the loss of hair on your head will not look so catastrophic. escortoo.com
