Pollution Causes Hair Loss, Find Out the Most Appropriate Treatment

Dream - Hair is a valuable asset for everyone that helps to appear confident and attractive. Unfortunately, environmental conditions make hair problematic. Starting from hair loss, split ends, dullness, to experiencing baldness.

There are many triggering factors. One of them is due to exposure to air pollution and UV rays, which are currently at extreme levels. Both of these can damage hair health, causing hair loss and damage, as well as loss of natural shine.

"Like the skin, hair that is constantly exposed to air pollution will deteriorate faster and if exposed to UV rays for too long, it can also experience hair loss caused by increased free radicals," said Dr. M. Yoga Adi Waskito, a dermatologist and venereologist at the 13th Anniversary Press Conference of Bamed Creating Works for Indonesian Families, September 6, 2023 in Jakarta."

Other causes of hair loss are genetics, side effects of medication, hormonal factors, stress, and improper hair care. Not only that, continuous hair loss can lead to baldness. Doctor Yoga said that hair baldness in men, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is experienced by 50% of people worldwide, while the hair disorder alopecia areata is experienced by 2.1% of people worldwide.

"In situations of pollution and extreme heat like now, it is important to take extra care of your hair. How to do it? Follow the recommendations from dr. Yoga below."

"Know the Types of Hair"

"Before selecting a hair care product, we must first identify the type of hair, whether it is dry or oily. Then, after that, we can choose the appropriate regimen according to the hair condition."

Use Shampoo and Conditioner

Dr. Yoga suggests choosing a shampoo that contains surfactants, silicone, and polymer. As for the conditioner, look for one that contains silicone, panthenol, and vitamin E.

"Shampoo that contains silicone is beneficial for antioxidants and makes hair softer, while surfactants are useful for cleaning dirt and oil from the hair."

"ujar dr. Yoga." translates to "said Dr. Yoga."

Use Heat Defense Serum.

After making sure you can clean your hair properly, it is also necessary to use heat defense serum after using a hair dryer and hair straightener. Avoid using a hair dryer that is too hot, just set the hair dryer at the lowest temperature.

Another alternative if you want to dry your hair after shampooing is to dry it by simply covering your hair with a towel, do not rub your hair roughly.

"Avoid Exposure to UV Rays"

Reducing excessive exposure to sunlight on the hair is an important step in maintaining hair health. UV rays from the sun can damage the hair structure, making it dry, prone to breakage, and fall out.

"Hair loss that can still be considered normal is 50-100 strands per day, but if it exceeds 100 strands per day, it should be a cause for concern. So, first, do home treatments using shampoo, conditioner, hair tonic, and others. But if that doesn't address further hair loss, it is better to directly consult a specialist in dermatology and genitourinary medicine to undergo hair transplantation""
