What is bangs baldness?
Forelock baldness refers to a condition in which the hairline of the forehead recedes toward the top of the head or the amount of hair is reduced and scanty. The widening of the forehead area is what is called U-shaped baldness or M-shaped baldness. And thinning of the bangs is considered to be caused by hair loss, and is characterized by a lack of crispness in the bangs, unlike the trendy see-through bangs. Since the pattern of frontal baldness is more of a gradual recession and hair loss than a clumped loss like other areas, it is important to notice the changes oneself as soon as possible in order to take countermeasures.
How to recognize the first signs of bangs baldness?
Since we check our own appearance in the mirror almost every day in order to keep up appearances, it is difficult to notice changes in our own appearance. In order to determine whether or not you are becoming bald in the forehead, it is necessary to check whether or not the size of your forehead has changed, so it is easier to notice when your forehead is receding if you usually measure how many fingers the area of your forehead is and how long it actually is. Another effective method is to think of a vertical line from the top of the ear to the crown of the head, and measure the length from that line to the corner of the forehead at the far end of the M-shaped area. This technique is actually used in hospitals, etc. If the distance between the corner of the M-shaped forehead and the line connecting the crown of the head and the ear is less than 2 cm, it is a sign that hair loss is progressing.
What are the three main causes of bangs baldness?
The main cause of bald bangs (1) “Deterioration of the scalp environment due to shampoo that has been left unwashed or left dirty.
Improper or neglected hair care can cause the scalp environment to deteriorate, which in turn can lead to hair loss. Examples include leaving shampoo and conditioner on the scalp after rinsing it off, and leaving dirt on the scalp for long periods of time. In particular, using styling products such as wax or pomade and then going to bed without showering can be very damaging to the hair and scalp, so it is important to keep this point in mind.
Main cause of baldness in the forelocks (2) “Progression of thinning hair due to poor lifestyle, poor diet, and stress.
Nutritional deficiencies due to an unbalanced diet, lack of sleep and exercise, excessive stress, and deterioration of blood flow due to excessive drinking and smoking are also major causes of thinning hair. Since hair requires many nutrients such as protein and minerals, it is better to avoid unbalanced diets as much as possible in order to have healthy hair with bounce and body. It also goes without saying that even after taking in nutrients, good blood flow is essential to carry those nutrients to the scalp. Incidentally, skin and nails, like scalp and hair, are also largely protein-based, so if you care about the overall appearance of not only your hair but also your skin and nails, it is an ironclad rule to avoid inadequate diet.
Main cause of bangs baldness (3) “Alopecia due to physical damage to the scalp.
Traction alopecia, which tends to occur when physical damage is inflicted on the scalp by pulling the hair, and advanced male pattern baldness (AGA) are other major causes of baldness in the forelocks. For traction alopecia, which is caused by damage to the scalp, effective countermeasures include not wearing the mamba style for long periods of time and regularly changing the parting of the bangs. As for AGA, there are many theories as to its cause, and it is important to stop the progression of the disease, so it is advisable to see a doctor or clinic at an early stage.
What are effective measures to prevent frontal hairline baldness?
The most effective preventive measure is to avoid the things mentioned above that may cause baldness. Ideally, one should take a well-balanced diet of minerals, vitamins, and proteins, exercise moderately, clean the scalp, and get a good night’s sleep. In reality, however, it is easy for people to have irregular work schedules or to be under a lot of stress, so it is important to follow up on a regular basis with supplements and hair care items.
