Hair loss is inevitable with age. Although in today's life, due to various reasons such as changes in lifestyle, diets and stress, hair loss in some people, especially men, starts at a younger age, hair loss in young people and childhood and adolescence is a problem. It will be scary for the child and worrying for the parents.
Normally, every person loses an average of 50 to 100 hairs in a day, and most of this hair loss occurs during combing, bathing and sleeping. Despite this hair loss, in a normal person, a new strand of hair is expected to replace the shed hair. The creation of new hair strands is the responsibility of the hair follicles, which are located in the middle layer (dermis) of the skin. In some situations, replacement of shed hairs is not done naturally. As a result, the balance between shed hairs and replaced hairs is lost and baldness occurs.
Hair loss is an unpleasant thing for all ages. It doesn't matter whether you are a 7-year-old child or a middle-aged person; Hair loss is annoying anyway. In addition to affecting beauty, hair loss also affects psychological aspects. These psychological effects may be more intense at a young age. Because children and teenagers have less ability to accept and tolerate and it will be difficult for them to face this challenge.
Causes of hair loss
Hair loss at a young age can be for different reasons. The most common causes of hair loss are classified as follows, taking into account age:
Congenital disorders of hair follicles,
alopecia areata,
fungal infections of the head,
Trichotillomania or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder,
telogen effluvium,
traction hair loss,
alopecia areata,
Androgenetic hair loss
telogen effluvium,
Alopecia areata.
Some causes of hair loss are not related to age. Among them, we can mention alopecia areata, deficiency of some substances needed by the body such as iron and zinc, lupus disease, glandular and metabolic disorders such as hypothyroidism, and the use of certain drugs such as chemotherapy drugs. In some cases, hair loss at a young age is one of the symptoms of an underlying disease. In most of these cases, hair loss resolves after treatment. In general and based on the available statistics, hair loss at different ages is usually not a sign of a dangerous disease or problem. But in this situation, it seems reasonable to be examined by a doctor and find other possible symptoms.
Congenital disorders of hair follicles
As mentioned, hair follicles are responsible for making hair strands. In congenital disorders of hair follicles, these follicles may not be formed or their function may be impaired. In this way, in the end, the hair strand is not made, or if it is, it is not durable and has the right material. These disorders are very rare and are usually diagnosed at an early age after scalp sampling and pathology examination or after genetic examinations.
baby hair loss
Baby hair loss is very worrying for parents, especially for their first child. Do not worry! After the birth of the baby and during the first 6 months, hair loss is a natural and physiological thing. With the passage of time and without the need for treatment, this hair loss will be resolved by itself and will not leave any traces.
wear
You may have noticed hair loss on the back of the head of babies and infants. The cause of hair loss in these children is the constant wear of these areas with pillows, beds or the floor. As the child grows older and the position of the child changes from lying down to sitting, and as a result, reducing the contact of the head with the ground and other surfaces, this form of hair loss at a young age will be resolved without treatment.
Improper diet
As you know, nutrition plays an important role in hair health. Hair strands are made of protein; Therefore, if the amount of protein you receive is inappropriate, the process of making hair strands will be disrupted. Deficiency of group B vitamins such as niacin and biotin also play a role in hair loss. Iron is one of the elements needed for healthy hair. In addition to affecting red blood cells and causing anemia, iron deficiency may also cause hair loss. Zinc is another element needed for hair health.
The lack of any of the mentioned items can be the cause of hair loss at a young age. So checking the diet, eliminating deficiencies and visiting a nutritionist can solve this problem.
Improper hair care
Harsh combing and pulling of hair strands can cause damage to hair follicles, which is called traction hair loss. Try combing, braiding, or any other type of styling your hair gently. In different cultures, different materials and tools are used for hair care, cleaning or styling, among which gels, hair straighteners, tufts and hair irons can be mentioned. If these materials and devices are used for a long time, the possibility of hair loss increases. So do your best to reduce their use.
Stretching hair loss or other similar injuries such as thermal injuries are one of the most common causes of hair loss at a young age. This form of hair loss usually causes damage to the hair shaft. Hair loss is temporary and reversible as long as it is not caused by damage to the follicles or hair roots. Therefore, if you correct your hair style or care methods, hair loss will also stop.
