Are Serums Able to Prevent Hair Loss?

Many women find that their hair gets thinner as they age, but that doesn't have to be the case for you. Choose a good hair serum that fits your changing needs as the first step in a plan to stop hair loss.

How a woman looks and how she feels about herself are often affected by her hair. If she sees clumps of hair in the drain of the shower, she might feel very sad. This is especially true for women over 40, who may see hair loss as a sign of getting older that they can't stop or fix.

Hair care products can make your hair stronger, stimulate your scalp, and make your hair follicles stronger, but can serum stop hair loss? Before we can answer this, we need to know why people lose their hair.

Composition Of Hair

Keratin is a kind of protein that makes up your hair. The hair shaft, the root under the skin, and the follicle are the parts that make up a single hair. The follicle is where the hair root grows out. The hair bulb, which is at the bottom of the hair follicle, is where melanin is made. Melanin is what gives your hair its color.

Every day, the average woman loses anywhere from 50 to 100 hairs. Most of the time, new hairs grow from the same follicle and replace these hairs. You may have alopecia if your hair doesn't grow back or if you lose more than 100 hairs every day.

Why Do Hairs Fall Out?

Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss, which can be caused by genes, how well you care for your hair, or problems with your immune system. There are four types of alopecia: 

Androgenetic Alopecia is the most common reason why women lose their hair. Anyone between the ages of 12 and 40 can get it. It is caused by hormones called androgens, which are needed for sex drive and for controlling hair growth. It can be passed down through genes or from one generation to the next.

Alopecia Areata is a condition in which your immune system goes crazy and attacks your hair follicles, causing round patches of hair loss on your head or body. Some people lose all of their hair, and the round patches may or may not touch. The cause of alopecia areata is not known by doctors.

Cicatricial Alopecia is a rare condition in which the hair follicle scars and causes permanent hair loss. Researchers don't know what causes cicatricial alopecia, but they have seen heat, pain, swelling, or redness at the top of the hair follicle, which destroys the oil glands and specialised cells that hair needs to grow.

Traumatic Alopecia is a rare hair loss condition that affects women more than men. Trichotillomania is a disorder that makes people repeatedly pull, twist, or pluck their hair. But chemical straighteners, tightly wound rollers, tight braids, and other hairstyles and ways to style hair can cause hair follicles to become inflamed and lead to this condition.

How Does Serum Help Prevent Hair Loss?

You can stop hair loss by doing two things:
• Stop it from happening in the first place.
• Get follicles that have stopped working to start working again.

Depending on whether the hair serum is made to work on the hair or the scalp, it can be used for one or both of these things.

Your Hair and Hair Serum

Some hair serums help keep your hair from falling out. Antioxidants, keratin, silicone, and other ingredients are often used to keep hair safe from heat, humidity, chemicals, and UV rays.

Other hair serums add vitamins, biotin, and folic acid to the hair shaft. This makes the hair stronger, healthier, and more flexible. If you take care of your hair, it will be healthier and less likely to fall out.
