St. Petersburg urged not to tear their hair because of thinning

Loss of 50-100 hair per day in autumn is a physiological norm, but a sharp thinning of the prostration and the “row” on the pillow is already a signal of health problems. This writes the edition of RIAMO with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Health of the Moscow region.

Autumn loss can be a seasonal telogen, that is, the period when the hair no longer grows, but still remains in the skin. This is because in the summer part of the follicles goes into a resting phase, and in the fall the hair falls out, giving way to new ones. Other causes are a lack of vitamins A, E, zinc and iron, stress, lack of sleep, dry air and tight hats.

Hair loss can be caused by latent iron deficiency, thyroid problems, or stress. In such cases, examination and treatment are necessary, not the use of advertising shampoos. For a simple check, you should carry a strand of hair and gently stretch it between your fingers. If you have one or three hairs, that’s normal. If you have five or more, beware.
