Thinning Hair In Your Teens?
Author: Hazel Leong | Posted: 30-03-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 883 | 
Your hair could be thinning for any number of reasons or combination of reasons, and without a thorough medical examination by a physician, it is impossible to tell which is which with any degree of certainty. Our goal in this article is to address the most common questions that we receive from our readers and to answer those questions in a very non-scientific manner, and perhaps even answer some questions that might be on your mind too. To follow, is a brief discussion on the known causes of thinning hair and how it can be treated medically.
In general terms, some of the most common reasons for hair loss or thinning are:
1. Genetics.
2. Illness.
3. Poor Diet.
4. Stress.
5. Medications.
6. Post-partum Alopecia.
Thinning Hair During Puberty!
In men, thinning hair can start any time after puberty, usually in the late teens to early 20's. Typical male pattern thinning hair starts as a recession of the hairline with some thinning in the crown. This can eventually progress over years or decades, to the familiar 'monk's ring' of hair.
Thinning Hair Solution: Hair Transplantation
The common method of implanting grafts is illustrated in figure 3. There are two type of donor grafts taken from the hair-bearing posterior scalp: cylindrical, elliptical (also macrografts) and micrografts or minigrafts. The most common type of Macrografts is cylindrical plug. Using a device like a hole puncher, the surgeon removes 1/8-inch-round graft containing about 12 to 20 hairs and placed into a smaller cylindrical hole in the anterior balding region of the scalp. Depending on the degree of baldness, 1 to 4 sessions of transplantation are required, with placement of 50 to 60 plugs at each session. Successive transplantation sessions are scheduled with at least a 3-month interval between procedures.
Hormones govern the growth of hair. In men, the male hormone, testosterone, governs beard, body hair and hair in the armpits. In women, estrogen, the female hormone generally prevents hair growth on the chin and encourages it to grow on the head. Occasionally women develop signs of thinning hair or baldness when estrogen levels drop. (see Rogaine)
