When noticing hair loss, most of us don't immediately start looking for solutions to solve the problem. Usually, we observe hair loss over months or even years until it reaches a level when it becomes noticeable and urgent. But once we find ourselves asking how to stop hair loss, another equally critical question is whether early hair loss treatment can impact the result. And while it can, the answers are nuanced and essential to understand.
First things first "early" in hair loss detection means before follicles shrink and become unable to grow hair.
A hair follicle is a structure located in the scalp and responsible for growing hair. When hair loss appears, follicles go through a process of shrinking and eventually become incapable of generating hair strands. The thing is, this shrinking takes years of ongoing miniaturization of the hair, and during most of this period, a follicle is still able to generate hair.
If left unattended, follicles will eventually shrink and lose their ability to grow hair. Recovering a fully shrunk follicle requires more efforts, including transplanting hair, which is why the key is acting earlier.
For a better understanding of the reasons for follicles' shrinkage, we need to look at why hair loss occurs.
Usually, hair falls out due to hormonal changes, including high levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), stress causing telogen effluvium, nutrient deficiencies, etc. In most cases, follicles simply become under stress because of these factors, making them unable to produce hair anymore.
But the follicles continue to be alive and able to grow hair, which makes addressing the issue before it gets too far crucial for faster and better results.
Now that we know what hair loss is caused by, we should understand what early hair loss treatment can do:
What it cannot do:
As you might guess, there are many ways to tackle hair loss symptoms without addressing its core. People who are using a product because they believe it should help, often struggle with no or negligible results since the product doesn't address the cause of hair loss.
The first thing we should do when noticing signs of hair loss is understanding its actual cause. While most of us prefer to start treating hair loss symptoms, it is essential to diagnose the problem and act according to this knowledge.
Hormonal changes, poor nutrition, thyroid problems, stress, lack of nutrients, genetic factors, and more can be behind hair thinning and other issues with our hair. This is why some hair care companies, including Traya, provide health assessment before suggesting a hair loss treatment plan for the client to follow.
Besides the overall condition of the scalp, there are several aspects of its health, which can impact the way follicles work. Poor circulation, sebum excess and buildups, inflammation all of these are among many factors contributing to hair loss. While trying to address hair loss with the help of a health assessment and specific treatment, you can use scalp care as an additional measure such as:
Acting early to stop hair loss and restore hair health is crucial, but only after figuring out its actual cause and taking action based on this knowledge.
