Indeed- hair loss and poor blood circulation are tightly linked. Lack of blood circulation in the scalp means lack of oxygen and nutrients for the hair follicles, meaning slow or no regrowth and ultimately progressive thinning, eventually becoming hair loss that doesn’t restore itself. The fact has not always been realized; this fact is perhaps one of the least recognized but most cited hair causes which a qualified hair doctor in Gurgaon will test during consultation.
How Blood Circulation and Hair Loss Are Connected?
On your scalp, blood can reach each hair follicle via tiny blood capillaries. These supply the bulb of hair, with proteins, oxygen and hormones that encourage the hair to grow. When blood flow is not adequate to the hair follicles, the hair can be starved.
As a result the hair may begin to grow slowly, become weaker and then prematurely move into the rest phase where the hair falls out.
When the plant doesn’t have water, it does not automatically wither, though in time it will and it may no longer be able to produce new growth.
What Causes Poor Scalp Blood Circulation?
Many everyday lifestyle habits and health conditions can cause a reduced blood supply to the scalp:
i) Lack of movement/Sedentary life – lack of movement means there is slower circulation around the body including the scalp.
ii) Stress – increased stress tightens blood capillaries so restricting flow to distal parts of the body including the scalp.
iii) Smoking – Nicotine tightens capillaries and long-term there will be reduced blood supply to the scalp.
iv) Lack of a good diet – low in iron, b vitamins and omega 3 fats will give a poorer blood supply to the capillaries in the follicles of the scalp hair.
v) Extremely tight hair styles – tightly tied up hair extensions, high ponytails/buns apply to the scalp giving poor supply to the follicle.
vi)Scalp complaints – Psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, scarring all cause blood flow to the capillaries near the skin’s surface to be impeded by physical blockage. Determine which of these you suffer from and the root of your problem should become apparent
Signs That Circulation May Be Affecting Your Hair
2. Different Types of Hair Loss: So, not every type of hair loss occurs when your circulation isn’t right. Here are clues you might need to look into bad circulation directly:
(i) Diffuse hair loss rather than an isolated patch of thinning
(ii) Fine, fragile hair or hair that breaks easily
(iii) A tight, tense or numb scalp
(iv) When hairs aren’t regrowing at a normal speed after shedding, even if there’s no other problem identified
(v) You feel a chilled scalp on your scalp, primarily the crown and top.
These clues will not definitively diagnose anything in most cases but are very good starting points when you seek a consultation with your specialists.
When Lifestyle Changes Are Not Enough?
In some cases, the follicles have been destroyed by the underlying poor circulation so they may not grow back naturally. This where a follicle is dormant or scarred and will not be reawakened by any amount of massage, dietary change or stimulating oils.
It may be time to visit the leading hair transplant clinic in Gurgaon and consider some form of clinical hair regrowth procedure. Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy (PRP) is effective at rejuvenating the dormant hair follicles through injecting concentrated growth factors directly to the scalp. Those with follicles that are incapable of returning can have them removed and replanted through FUE or Follicular Unit Transplantation procedures. QHT Clinic Gurgaon performs a thorough analysis of each patients scalp prior to commencing a treatment so that the treatment targets the real issue.
Conclusion
Indeed blood circulation, a major role in hair fall, but fortunately treatable and preventable if done before. A good blood circulation by using body massage, proper diet and a lifestyle without vices can do a lot to the volume of your hair. For any doubts and continued baldness after few steps, visit a renowned hair doctor in Gurgaon that is QHT Clinic and get them investigated at a hair follicle level to find out what the problem is exactly and know the best possible treatment whether PRP, medications or any of the permanent methods best done in best hair transplant clinic in Gurgaon.
