Hairloss UK Lifestyle vs. Hereditary

OK guys and gals, it's the "Hairloss UK Forum" myth busting time! Hairloss UK is going to expose some of the tall tales and industry hype about hairloss in the UK and the rest of the world.

Let's begin…The first thing the Hairloss UK Forum wants you to know is this - healthy hair can only grow from healthy hair roots (follicles). Each person is born with a set amount of hair follicles. No procedure, no cream, no lotion, nothing can create new follicles in your scalp.

It's simply hereditary, and Hairloss UK can only say this: You can complain all you want, but Mother Nature has spoken! In this case – it truly is in your genes.

And one more thing – once a hair follicle dies, it's end game. No more hair will ever grow there again, no matter what product or treatment you try. Here are some of the more well known beliefs Hairloss UK has investigated…

"Coloring my hair will make it start thinning out quicker."

Hairloss UK says this is mostly bunk. Most modern hair dyes are safe. Though they may not be the best hair loss treatments for your hair, they certainly won't accelerate hereditary hairloss. But Hairloss UK does have this caution: Avoid any preparation that uses lead salts in the formulae. This definitely can effect the hair roots in a negative way.

"Washing my hair more than 2 times a week will quicken baldness."

The Hairloss UK takes on this? Poppycock! If it's just 2 times, you may dry out your hair, you may cause loose hairs to fall out quicker, but you won't be harming the hair follicles themselves. Excessive hair washing may result in weaker and more damaged hair. So twice a week is enough.

"Shaving hair down to the scalp makes it grow back faster and thicker."

Hairloss UK says no! According to Hairloss UK, hair grows at a constant rate, about an inch every 2 months. By cutting your hair extremely short, it will only appear your hair is growing in faster.
