Gray hair and excessive facial and body hair protocol
Medical Background:
Excessive hair growth on the face (especially around
the chin), breasts or chest, or male-patterned hair growth on the body is known as hirsutism. But hair is “unwanted” whenever it appears on areas of the body that are considered to be either culturally unacceptable, or unattractive. Even though excessive hair growth on the face or male-patterned hair growth on the body is considered “abnormal” in women, it’s very common.
Common Causes of Abnormal or Excessive Hair Growth in
women:
-Too much androgen secretion: Many women secrete too
much androgen as a result of conditions such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) or Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), which affects 6-10 pecent of the general female population and accounts for half of all hormonal disorders affecting female fertility. Because androgen levels are out of whack, PCOS sufferers can develop abnormally excessive facial or body hair.
-Overactive adrenal glands: This is a side effect of
tumors resulting from certain pituitary diseases, such as Cushing’s Disease. Both Cushing’s Disease and PCOS are often accompanied by irregular periods.
-Oversensitive hair follicles: Some persons are
genetically wired with hair follicles that are simply more sensitive to androgens.
-Side effects of certain drugs: Many drugs can cause
either androgen secretion and hirsutism, or the opposite—hair loss or alopecia. As a general rule, when taking either a prescription or an over-the-counter drug, be sure to ask about common side effects.
-Insulin resistance: This is when the cells stop
responding to the insulin your pancreas makes. Too much insulin can actually cause hirsutism. -Thyroid disorders: Certain thyroid disorders could cause hirsutism. Once the thyroid problem is treated, however, it’s likely no new hairs will be stimulated to grow.
-Rare endocrine disorders: An increase in androgen
levels can result from a number of very rare endocrine diseases, such as Hyperandrogenic-Insulin Resistant-Acanthosis Nigricans (Hairan) Syndrome.
-Genetics: Some clinicians will cite “racial” or
“familial” genes as a cause of hirsutism, but this isn’t an authentic cause per se. Having said that, if you’re of Mediterranean descent, you are more likely to experience noticeable or “unwanted” hair growth because the hair is usually darker, that a blonde Scandinavian woman may not.
-Obesity: Certain body types (wherein more of the
weight is carried in the upper body) are more susceptible to hirsutism because they are associated with insulin resistance. Also, fat cells can make androgen just as they can make estrogen
-Stress: In response to stress, the adrenal glands
pump out “stress hormones” or catecholamines that speed up your body. But since the adrenal glands also make androgen, increased stress can also increase circulating androgens in your bloodstream, which can cause hirsutism.
The hair follicle is a tiny structure from where the
hair growths and each strand are composed of the protein keratin. While the hair follicles come into being in the fetal stage of life, hair growth through life is largely dependent on the hormonal patterns of an individual. Undoubtedly, hair forms an important part of our physical appearance. According to various studies, on an average a person has 1,00,000 to 1,50,000 hair strands on their head. It is normal for one to lose 50 to 100 strands per day, but more than that implies unhealthy hair growth, or in other terms a hair fall problem.
Hair loss could be a result of various factors such as
hormonal imbalance, stress, illnesses, side-effects of certain medication, hereditary, a diet that is lacking in zinc, vitamins and B-complex, minerals and proteins. Another cause is stress and tension. A hormonal imbalance, thyroid imbalance, a long illness, excessive medication and body heat. The chemicals used in perming lotions and hair colourants are another cause of hair loss. Almost 90% people suffering from hair loss do so due to genetic reasons. Trichologists or medical hair specialists have diagnosed certain hair fall patterns, giving them medical terminology. There are some who suffer from Alopecia Areata, which is hair loss in certain patches. Alopecia Totalis is complete balding. And hair loss from all over the body is called Alopecia Universalis
Grey Hair is a symptom of improper protein synthesis.
Hair grows white when the colour pigment (melanin) ceases to be produced in the hair follicle and small air spaces take its place. Pigment cells located at the base of each hair follicle produce the natural dominant colour of our youth. However, as a person grows older and reaches middle age, more and more of these pigment cells die and colour is lost from individual hairs. The result is that a person's hair gradually begins to show more and more grey. Individual hairs each have an outer layer (the cuticle) of overlapping flat cells, underneath, which is the thick cortex, which consists of horn-like keratin. The inside of the hair is made of softer, rectangular cells. Hair colour is determined by the concentration and depth of melanin pigment in the cortex - this produces the whole spectrum of hair colour from blond to black, with very fair people having almost no melanin. When these melanocytes die, then the hair turns grey. Melanocytes produce the pigment melanin and they are the cells responsible for much of the coloring of the human body, including the hair. With age the melanocytes lose their ability to make pigment, so color is absent from new hair.
Grey hair is usually associated with ageing, but this
is not always the case. Early greying of the hair is basically hereditary. Grey hair can also be influenced by stress. A person experiencing a prolonged period of stress and anxiety may notice, over a period of time, white hairs gradually appearing. Malnutrition, worry, shock, deep sorrow, tension and other similar conditions may also slow down the production of melanin resulting in grey hair. Severe illness too can stop or affect the production of melanin. However, scientists have not been fully able to explain the exact causes of this change in colour of the hair.
