 HAIR LOSS ?

•LOSING HAIR FASTER THAN EVER BEFORE? RELAX, YOU’RE NOT ALONE, BECAUSE THIS IS
BECOMING A UNIVERSAL PROBLEM.

THINNING HAIR AND BALDING AFFECT BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, AND THE LOSS OF HAIR CAN
OCCUR FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS.

FROM AGE ALONE, VIRTUALLY EVERYONE WILL NOTICE SOME HAIR LOSS OR THINNING HAIR.

ABOUT 70 PERCENT OF ALL MEN EXPERIENCE SOME DEGREE OF HAIR LOSS, WHILE ALMOST 30
PERCENT OF WOMEN HAVE HAIR LOSS.

HAIR LOSS IS A VERY COMMON CONDITION AND AFFECTS MOST PEOPLE AT SOME TIME IN
THEIR LIVES.

HAIR LOSS FROM BREAKAGE OF THE HAIR SHAFT IS DIFFERENT THAN HAIR LOSS DUE TO
DECREASED HAIR GROWTH.

ANDROGENETIC HAIR LOSS IS SEEN IN BOTH MEN AND WOMEN BUT IS MORE DRAMATIC IN
MEN.
 SIGN & SYMPTOMS

HAIR LOSS IS TYPICALLY CONSIDERED THE DOMAIN OF AGING MEN, BUT THIS EQUAL-
OPPORTUNITY CONDITION — WHICH HAS MANY CAUSES — CAN AFFECT VIRTUALLY ANYONE.

EVERYONE SHEDS ABOUT 100 HAIRS EACH DAY AS PART OF THE NORMAL HAIR GROWTH CYCLE,
BUT EXCESS LOSS IS USUALLY A DISTRESSING DEVELOPMENT. AMERICANS SPEND MORE THAN
$3.5 BILLION EACH YEAR TRYING TO TREAT IT, ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN HAIR LOSS
ASSOCIATION.

SYMPTOMS OF HAIR LOSS INCLUDE HAIR LOSS IN PATCHES USUALLY IN CIRCULAR PATTERNS,
DANDRUFF, SKIN LESIONS, AND SCARRING.

ALOPECIA AREATA (MILD – MEDIUM LEVEL) USUALLY SHOWS IN UNUSUAL HAIR LOSS AREAS
E.G. EYEBROWS, BACKSIDE OF THE HEAD OR ABOVE THE EARS WHERE USUALLY THE MALE
PATTERN BALDNESS DOES NOT AFFECT.

IN MALE-PATTERN HAIR LOSS, LOSS AND THINNING BEGIN AT THE TEMPLES AND THE CROWN
AND EITHER THINS OUT OR FALLS OUT. FEMALE-PATTERN HAIR LOSS OCCURS AT THE
FRONTAL AND PARIETAL.
 CAUSES
ACCORDING TO EVERYDAY HEALTH SURVEY SEVERAL FACTORS MAY INFLUENCE
HAIR LOSS SUCH AS FOLLOWS:-

HORMONES, SUCH AS ABNORMAL LEVELS OF ANDROGENS (MALE HORMONES

NORMALLY PRODUCED BY BOTH MEN AND WOMEN).

GENES, FROM BOTH MALE AND FEMALE PARENTS, MAY INFLUENCE A PERSON'S
PREDISPOSITION TO MALE OR FEMALE PATTERN BALDNESS.

STRESS, ILLNESS, AND CHILDBIRTH CAN CAUSE TEMPORARY HAIR

LOSS. RINGWORM CAUSED BY A FUNGAL INFECTION CAN ALSO CAUSE HAIR LOSS.

DRUGS, INCLUDING CHEMOTHERAPY DRUGS USED IN CANCER

TREATMENT, BLOOD THINNERS, BETA-ADRENERGIC BLOCKERS USED TO
CONTROL BLOOD PRESSURE, AND BIRTH CONTROL PILL, CAN CAUSE TEMPORARY
HAIR LOSS.

AGING: A NATURAL EFFECT OF GROWING OLDER IS SLOWED HAIR GROWTH.

WOMEN USUALLY DON'T GO COMPLETELY BALD, BUT LOSS HAIR ON THE TOP OF
THE HEAD OR THE TEMPLES. MEN TEND TO LOSE HAIR ON THEIR TEMPLES, AND
ARE MORE LIKELY THAN WOMEN TO GO COMPLETELY BALD.
BURNS, INJURIES, AND X-RAYS CAN CAUSE TEMPORARY HAIR LOSS. IN SUCH CASES, NORMAL
HAIR GROWTH USUALLY RETURNS ONCE THE INJURY HEALS UNLESS A SCAR IS PRODUCED.
THEN, HAIR WILL NEVER REGROW.

AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE MAY CAUSE ALOPECIA AREATA. IN ALOPECIA AREATA, THE IMMUNE
SYSTEM REVS UP FOR UNKNOWN REASONS AND AFFECTS THE HAIR FOLLICLES. IN MOST
PEOPLE WITH ALOPECIA AREATA, THE HAIR GROWS BACK, ALTHOUGH IT MAY TEMPORARILY
BE VERY FINE AND POSSIBLY A LIGHTER COLOR BEFORE NORMAL COLORATION AND
THICKNESS RETURN.

COSMETIC PROCEDURES, SUCH AS SHAMPOOING TOO OFTEN, PERMS, BLEACHING, AND

DYEING HAIR CAN CONTRIBUTE TO OVERALL HAIR THINNING BY MAKING HAIR WEAK AND
BRITTLE. TIGHT BRAIDING, USING ROLLERS OR HOT CURLERS, AND RUNNING HAIR PICKS
THROUGH TIGHT CURLS CAN ALSO DAMAGE AND BREAK HAIR. HOWEVER, THESE
PROCEDURES DON'T CAUSE BALDNESS. IN MOST INSTANCES HAIR GROWS BACK NORMALLY IF
THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM IS REMOVED. STILL, SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE HAIR OR SCALP
SOMETIMES CAUSES PERMANENT BALD PATCHES.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS. THYROID DISEASE, LUPUS , DIABETES, IRON DEFICIENCY, EATING

DISORDERS, AND ANEMIA CAN CAUSE HAIR LOSS. MOST TIMES, WHEN THE UNDERLYING
CONDITION IS TREATED, THE HAIR WILL RETURN UNLESS THERE IS SCARRING AS IN SOME
FORMS OF LUPUS, LICHEN PLANUS OR FOLLICULAR DISORDERS.

DIET. A LOW-PROTEIN DIET OR SEVERELY CALORIE-RESTRICTED DIET CAN ALSO CAUSE

TEMPORARY HAIR LOSS.
 EXISTING SOLTUION
DANDRUFF TREATMENT TIPS
OCCASIONALLY, IF THERE IS EXCESSIVE SCALING IN THE SCALP, IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO CHANGE CERTAIN HABITS TO DIMINISH THE AMOUNT OF
DANDRUFF. INFREQUENT SHAMPOOING ALONE IS SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE
WHAT APPEARS TO BE EXCESS DANDRUFF. THE ACCUMULATED FLAKES OF SKIN
PRODUCE AN UNPLEASANT APPEARANCE ON THE HAIR AND CLOTHING. ALL
THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IS TO SHAMPOO MORE OFTEN. IF THE ORIGIN OF THE
DANDRUFF IS A SCALP DISEASE, USING A MEDICATED ANTI-DANDRUFF SHAMPOO
IS OFTEN HELPFUL. IF THIS FAILS, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO SEEK A
PROFESSIONAL'S OPINION.

AVOID SUN DAMAGE TO YOUR HAIR

SINCE HAIR IS COMPOSED OF DEAD PROTEIN, IT IS IMPORTANT MAINTAIN IT
CORRECTLY TO OPTIMIZE ITS APPEARANCE. HAVING LUXURIANTLY ABUNDANT
HAIR IS A CLUE TO GENERAL GOOD HEALTH. BECAUSE HAIR DOES NOT REPAIR
ITSELF, IT IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION BY SUNLIGHT,
DRYNESS, CHEMICALS, AND PHYSICAL TRAUMA. AN EXCELLENT HAIRCUT,
AVOIDING CHEMICAL TREATMENT, HATS, AND POST-SHAMPOO CONDITIONERS
CAN IMPROVE AND PROMOTE HEALTHY-APPEARING HAIR. ON THE OTHER HAND,
YOU CAN ALWAYS SHAVE THE SCALP, WHICH FOR SOME MEN SEEMS TO WORK
WELL.

NUTRIENTS ARE IMPORTANT FOR HEALTHY HAIR

ALONG WITH APPROPRIATE EXERCISE AND SLEEP, A WELL-ROUNDED DIET WILL
PRODUCE A HEALTHY BODY, WHICH IS MANIFESTED IN BEAUTIFUL HAIR. POORLY
CONCEIVED DIETING AND PROTEIN RESTRICTION MAY DIMINISH AND DAMAGE
HAIR GROWTH.
A HAIR- AND HEART-HEALTHY DIET
THERE IS NO FOOD THAT WILL PROVIDE ALL OF THE NECESSARY NUTRIENTS FOR HAIR
GROWTH. SOME BELIEVE THAT DIETS HIGH IN FISH, NUTS, FRUITS, AND VEGETABLES ARE
LIKELY TO BE BENEFICIAL. HOWEVER, THERE ARE PROBABLY NO NUTRIENTS WHEN GIVEN
EVEN IN EXCESS AMOUNTS THAT WILL SUBSTANTIALLY ALTER THE HEALTH OF YOUR HAIR.
DIRECT SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO PROFESSIONAL DIETICIANS.

SURPRISING SIDE EFFECTS OF MEDICATIONS

MANY DRUGS CAN INHIBIT HAIR GROWTH. SINCE IT TAKES ABOUT TWO WEEKS FOR A HAIR
TWO GROW FROM THE ROOT TO THE FOLLICULAR ORIFICE, IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO
DETERMINE WHICH DRUG MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPPRESSING HAIR GROWTH. THE
FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF CATEGORIES OF DRUGS POTENTIALLY LIKELY TO INHIBIT
FOLLICULAR FUNCTION: ANTICANCER DRUGS, ANTICOAGULANTS, ANTICONVULSANTS, ANTI-
GOUT MEDICATIONS, ANTITHYROID AGENTS, BETA-ADRENERGIC BLOCKERS, TRICYCLIC
ANTIDEPRESSANTS, AND ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES.

HAIR CARE
IT IS AN OVERALL TERM FOR HYGIENE AND COSMETOLOGY INVOLVING THE HAIR WHICH
GROWS FROM THE HUMAN SCALP, AND TO A LESSER EXTENT FACIAL, PUBIC AND OTHER
BODY HAIR. HAIR CARE ROUTINES DIFFER ACCORDING TO AN INDIVIDUAL'S CULTURE AND
THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ONE'S HAIR. HAIR MAY BE COLORED , TRIMMED, SHAVED,
PLUCKED, OR OTHERWISE REMOVED WITH TREATMENTS SUCH AS WAXING, SUGARING, AND
THREADING. HAIR CARE SERVICES ARE OFFERED IN SALONS, BARBERSHOPS, AND DAY SPAS,
AND PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE COMMERCIALLY FOR HOME USE. LASER HAIR REMOVAL
AND ELECTROLYSIS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE, THOUGH THESE ARE PROVIDED (IN THE US) BY
LICENSED PROFESSIONALS IN MEDICAL OFFICES OR SPECIALITY SPAS.

 HISTORY OF HEADWRAP
Headscarves or head scarves are scarves covering most or all of the top of a person's, usually women, hair and her head, leaving the face
uncovered. A headscarf is formed of a triangular or square cloth folded into a triangle piece of fabric, with which the head is covered. Apart from
the keffiyeh of the Middle East, headscarves worn by men are much less common and usually for practical purposes.
Throughout history, women and men of diverse backgrounds have used headwear to demonstrate their beauty, hair care and elements of their
culture. Wearing a head-wrap not only offers a sense of community and represents woman's marital or religious status, but it can also be a
symbolic way to defy oppressive forces and to lay claim to one's heritage, across genders. A dissemination of its uses throughout history and its
significance in hundreds of different cultures is too vast a topic to take on in just a singular article. In this piece we will explore a few of its origins
and uses in various cultures, centralising it to the African experience and how it has evolved to its current use in modern, contemporary African
culture.
 THE AFRICAN HERITAGE OF HEAD WRAPS
ACROSS AFRICA THE HEAD WRAP/TURBAN OR HEAD TIE GOES BY MANY NAMES. IN BOTSWANA
IT IS THE TUKWI, IN MALAWI THE DUKU, IN SOUTH AFRICA THE DOEK, IN ZIMBABWE THE
DHUKU, IN ZAMBIA THE CHITAMBALA, IN NIGERA AND OTHER PARTS OF WEST AFRICA THE GELE
AND THE MOUSSOR IN SENEGAL (TO NAME A FEW!). EACH COUNTRY, AND EVEN WITHIN THAT
COUNTRY, SINGULAR TRIBES, WILL HAVE VARYING USES AND ATTACH DIFFERENT MEANINGS TO
THESE WRAPS AND THE STYLES AND COLOURS USED.

IN MANY COMMUNITIES THE HEAD WRAP IS A SIGN OF AGE AND WISDOM, ONLY WORN BY
WOMEN OF A CERTAIN POSITION IN LIFE AND WHO ARE MARRIED. IT IS A SIGNIFIER OF A
HIERARCHICAL SOCIAL SYSTEM BASED ON NOT ONLY WEALTH (THOUGH THAT IS OFTEN A
FACTOR) BUT AGE AND UNDERSTANDING. DIFFERENT WRAP STYLES AND COLOURS ARE ALSO, IN
CERTAIN CULTURES, INDICATIVE OF MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION SUCH AS THE MARITAL
STATUS OF THE INDIVIDUAL; WHETHER SHE IS ENGAGED, MARRIED OR WIDOWED - A PRACTICE
THAT EXTENDED OUTSIDE OF AFRICA TO THE MIDDLE EAST AND EVEN TO EUROPE IN EARLIER
ERAS.

IN SOUTHERN PARTS OF AFRICA THE HEAD WRAP (DOEK) IS WORN BY WOMEN ON OFFICIAL
VISITS TO MEET THEIR IN-LAWS OR WHEN VISITING THE HOUSES OF HIGHER RANKED MEMBERS
OF THE COMMUNITY AS A SIGN OF RESPECT. IT GIVES A WOMAN A DEGREE OF 'SOCIAL CLOUT
AND SIGNIFICANCE IN THE COMMUNITY WHEN WORN.
A MORE COMMON USE, THAT CAN BE SEEN IN PRACTICALLY EVERY NATION IN AFRICA, IS THE
HEAD WRAP AS AN EMBELLISHMENT AND AN INDICATION THAT A CELEBRATORY EVENT IS
OCCURRING. AT WEDDINGS AND FAMILY CELEBRATIONS YOU WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO
FIND A WOMAN ABOVE A CERTAIN AGE WITHOUT A BEAUTIFUL AND COMPLEX, FASHIONED
HEADPIECE ATOP HER HEAD. IT COMMUNICATES A MATRIARCHAL AND QUEENLY IMAGE, AN
EMPOWERING SYMBOL OF FEMININE ELEGANCE AND BEAUTY.
 HEAD COVERING, RELIGION AND REBELLION
• TRADITIONAL CELEBRATIONS ARE WHERE MOST PEOPLE FLOURISH WITH HEADWRAPS. AND WHILE THE
GHANANIAN DUKU AND NIGERIAN GELE HAVE BEEN WORN BY WOMEN FOR GENERATIONS, THEY HAVE GROWN
TO BECOME THE ULTIMATE FASHION ACCESSORY AT MOST EVENTS AND A HEAD-TURNING WORK OF ART.

INTERNATIONAL FASHION DESIGNERS ARE GROWINGLY INCORPORATING HEADWRAPS INTO NATIONAL AND
INTERNATIONAL RUNWAYS. ADD TO THAT TRIBAL JEWELLERY AND PRINT PIECES. CELEBRITIES, LOCAL AND
INTERNATIONAL ARE ALSO WEARING DOEKS AS FASHION STATEMENTS. LUPITA NYONG'O AT THE TORONTO
PREMIERE OF THE FILM 'QUEEN OF KATWE' GOT FASHION CRITICS BUZZING IN A CAROLINA HERRERA GOWN AND
A BLUE GELE.

AND IT IS NOT AT ALL UNCOMMON TO SEE WOMEN WEARING DOEKS ON THE DAILY, WELL BECAUSE IT'S JUST A
HEADWRAP DAY ANY SEASON OF THE YEAR. IT IS ALSO NOT A SHAME TO ADMIT THAT HEADWRAPS ARE NO
STRANGERS TO BAD HAIR DAYS. THEY HAVE SAFELY TUCKED AWAY WHAT WE OTHERWISE PREFER NOT SEEN BY
THE PUBLIC. ACTUALLY, HEADWRAPS HAVE LONG BEEN USED AS PROTECTIVE GARMENTS OVER HAIR FROM DUST
AND DIRT WHILE DOING HOME CHORES.
EVEN SOME AFRICAN MEN WEAR HEAD-WRAPS AS A FASHION STATEMENT, AND AS A WEALTH AND SOCIAL
STATUS SYMBOLISM. SOUTH AFRICAN HIP-HOP ARTIST RIKY RICK WAS ONCE MADE FUN OF FOR DONNING ONE
AT AN AWARDS CEREMONY. HIS RESPONSE, "OPEN YOUR MINDS BLACK PEOPLE."
 REASON FOR WEARING
HEADWRAP
HEADSCARVES MAY BE WORN FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES, SUCH AS PROTECTION OF THE
HEAD OR HAIR FROM RAIN, WIND, DIRT, COLD, WARMTH, FOR SANITATION, FOR FASHION,
RECOGNITION OR SOCIAL DISTINCTION; WITH RELIGIOUS SIGNIFICANCE, TO HIDE BALDNESS,
OUT OF MODESTY, OR OTHER FORMS OF SOCIAL [Link] ARE NOW
MAINLY WORN FOR PRACTICAL, CULTURAL OR RELIGIOUS REASONS.

PRACTICAL REASONS INCLUDE PROTECTION FROM BAD WEATHER AND PROTECTION AGAINST
INDUSTRIAL CONTAMINATION, FOR EXAMPLE IN DUSTY AND OILY ENVIRONMENTS. A
HEADSCARF CAN ENSURE THAT THE HAIR DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE WORK AND GET
CAUGHT-UP IN MACHINERY SINCE, AVOIDING LONG HAIR CAN GET INTO ROTATING PARTS OF
MACHINES, EITHER BY MEANS OF A SUITABLE HEAD COVERING LIKE A CAP, HAIRNET OR
KERCHIEF; CUTTING THE HAIR SHOT; OR BY PUTTING ON A SCARF. HYGIENE ALSO REQUIRES
WEARING A HEAD COVER, FOR EXAMPLE IN KITCHENS AND HOSPITALS

 HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HAIR WITH HEADWRAP?
1. MAKE SURE NOT TO WRAP THE SCARF OVER YOUR HAIR TIGHTLY. THIS WAY, YOU WILL PREVENT YOUR SCALP FROM
BREATHING, WHICH LEADS TO DRYNESS, ITCHINESS AND FUTURE DANDRUFF.

2. IT'S ALWAYS BETTER TO WEAR SCARVES MADE OF NATURAL FABRICS, SUCH AS COTTON OR SILK.
OTHER ARTIFICIAL FABRICS COULD LEAD TO HAIR BREAKAGE AND SPLIT ENDS, AS THEY CAUSE FRICTION WITH YOUR HAIR.

3. IF YOU DECIDE TO GO FOR ARTIFICIAL FABRICS LIKE NYLON AND POLYESTER, MAKE SURE TO WEAR A BANDANA UNDER
YOUR SCARF TO ACT AS A PROTECTIVE LAYER.

4. TRY TO TIE YOUR HAIR IN A LOOSE PONYTAIL OR A BUN UNDER HIJAB. PULLING YOUR HAIR TIGHTLY CAN WEAKEN YOUR
HAIR STRANDS AND LEAD TO HAIR FALL.

5. ALWAYS TRY TO CHANGE THE WAY YOU PART YOUR HAIR FROM TIME TO TIME. THIS PREVENTS YOUR FRONT HAIR LINE
FROM THINNING AND FALLING BY TIME.

6. IF YOU'RE WEARING HEADWRAP FROM A LONG TIME AGO, YOU MIGHT SKIP BRUSHING YOUR HAIR FOR A DAY OR TWO,
WHICH COULD MAKE YOUR HAIR DRYER. THAT'S WHY YOU MUST NOT FORGET ABOUT BRUSHING YOUR HAIR AT LEAST
TWICE PER DAY, IN ORDER TO HAVE BETTER BLOOD CIRCULATION, AND HENCE A HEALTHIER SCALP.

7. WHEN YOU ARRIVE HOME, IT'S ALWAYS BETTER TO UNTIE YOUR HEADSCARF IMMEDIATELY AND LET YOUR HAIR LOOSE
FOR AN HOUR OR TWO. WHEN YOU UNTIE IT FROM BOTH THE HEADSCARF AND HAIR ACCESSORIES, YOUR SCALP
BREATHES BETTER.

8. AVOID WEARING YOUR HEADSCARF WHEN YOUR HAIR IS STILL WET, SO THE DAMPNESS DOESN'T LEAD TO DANDRUFF.
