If you have a lot of ‘dandruff’ on your head… This means that hair loss may occur soon.

In addition to simply losing a lot of hair, it is good to be aware of changes in the characteristic of ‘dandruff’ as it can be a precursor to hair loss.

If you scratch your scalp with your fingernails and your fingernails show ‘wet dandruff’, it may be a symptom of male pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness is a representative type of hair loss caused by male hormones androgens, and is common, accounting for 80-90% of all hair loss. It is characterized by a lot of hair falling out from the front and top of the head and the hair becoming thinner. It is also greatly influenced by male hormones. The male hormone testosterone is converted into a male hormone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone) during metabolic processes in the body. DHT shrinks hair follicles and increases sebum secretion. Excessive secretion of sebum causes moist dandruff. Dry dandruff, on the other hand, refers to a condition in which the scalp becomes dry due to low sebum secretion, causing dead skin cells to flake off and fall off white.

Not everyone who suspects hair loss requires treatment at a hospital. In the case of hair loss in the telogen phase (the period when hair falls out), the symptoms disappear naturally if the factors that cause hair loss, such as childbirth, stress, and diet, are controlled. For male pattern hair loss, using protein supplements and ointments in the early stages can help strengthen hair and slow down hair loss. However, if ▲ hair falls out more than twice as much as usual, ▲ hair loss symptoms have progressed for more than 3 months, or ▲ there is a family history, it is best to visit a hospital early to receive an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
