Common issues related to hair and scalp Tips for healthy hair growth

Introduction

Millions of people around the world suffer from hair loss, which is a widespread issue.

Cutiskart is the one‑stop solution to all hair and scalp conditions with the best possible solutions and products.

Common issues related to hair and scalp (and their solutions)

Baldness: The most prevalent form of hair loss among men is male‑pattern baldness. It usually develops gradually over time and is brought on by hormone levels and genetics. Medication—specifically finasteride and minoxidil—are the most effective treatments. Finasteride blocks conversion of testosterone to DHT; minoxidil is applied topically to stimulate hair growth. In severe cases, hair‑transplant surgery may be recommended.

Alopecia areata: An autoimmune condition that causes patchy hair loss anywhere on the body, including the scalp. It can be treated with topical corticosteroids, topical immunotherapy or systemic immunosuppressive therapy.

Telogen effluvium: A form of hair shedding that occurs when more hairs than usual enter the resting (telogen) phase, leading to loss of > 100 hairs/day. Often temporary and triggered by stress, hormonal changes or illness. Treatment focuses on removing the trigger (e.g., stress reduction, medication change) and using appropriate hair‑loss products.

Scalp psoriasis (psoriatic scaly skin): Causes red, scaly patches with itch or soreness. Managed with topical or oral drugs (corticosteroids, retinoids) and light therapy plus suitable hair‑care products.

Seborrheic dermatitis: Produces scaling and irritation on the scalp; may lead to hair loss. Typically treated with medicated shampoos and topical corticosteroid or antifungal preparations.

Tips for healthy hair growth and preventing further loss

• Healthy diet: Ensure adequate vitamins/minerals (biotin, zinc, iron).
  
• Keep hair loose: Avoid tight ponytails/braids that stress follicles.
  
• Gentle hair‑care products: Choose sulfate‑free shampoos/styling products.
  
• Manage stress: Practices such as yoga or meditation help curb stress‑induced loss.
  
• Prevent heat damage: Limit flat‑iron/blow‑dryer heat; use heat‑protectant sprays.
  
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Minimise frequent coloring, perms or similar treatments.
  

Despite the distressing nature of hair loss, many approaches can help—depending on the cause. If you’re experiencing loss, consult a doctor for diagnosis. Cutis offers effective solutions for hair and scalp concerns—contact them for details.
