Introduction
Newly grown hair that is thin, soft, and falls out easily may be caused by factors such as irregular作息 (作息不规律 should be translated as "irregular作息" but "作息" here refers to daily routine or lifestyle patterns), poor nutrition, frequent perming or hair dyeing, hormonal imbalances, or seborrheic dermatitis. This condition can be improved through general treatments, medication, and other approaches. Regular scalp cleansing and care are necessary to prevent infections. If hair loss is severe, prompt medical attention should be sought to receive targeted treatment.
Thin and soft hair that falls out shortly after growing may be caused by irregular作息 (lifestyle habits), malnutrition, frequent perming or dyeing, hormonal imbalances, or seborrheic dermatitis. This condition can be improved through general treatments, medication, and other methods.
1. Irregular作息: Prolonged熬夜 (staying up late) or excessive fatigue may lead to physical exhaustion, affecting the normal growth of hair. It is important to adjust one's作息 (routine), ensure sufficient sleep, and avoid overexertion.
2. Malnutrition: Hair growth requires adequate nutrition, including protein, iron, zinc, and other essential nutrients. Insufficient or unbalanced nutrient intake may cause hair to become thin, soft, and prone to falling out. Dietary adjustments should be made to increase the consumption of nutrient-rich and high-protein foods such as eggs and lean meats.
3. Frequent Perming or Dyeing: Frequent hair perming or dyeing can damage hair, making it thin, soft, and more likely to fall out. Reduce the frequency of these treatments to minimize damage to the hair.
4. Hormonal Imbalance: Hormonal imbalances may lead to elevated androgen levels, which can disrupt the hair growth cycle, causing hair to become thin, soft, and prone to shedding. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as minoxidil solution or spironolactone tablets may be used to regulate androgen metabolism and improve hair quality.
5. Seborrheic Dermatitis: This is a chronic inflammatory skin condition occurring in areas with excessive sebum production. When affecting the scalp, it may compromise follicle health, causing hair to become thin, soft, and prone to falling out, often accompanied by erythematous rashes, oiliness, and other symptoms. Treatment under medical guidance with medications such as desonide acetate cream or halometasone cream may be necessary.
Proper scalp hygiene and care should be maintained to prevent infection. If hair loss is severe, prompt medical consultation is recommended to receive targeted treatment.
