Nowadays, many people are facing the problem of hair loss, and baldness is even more of a headache. There are rumors on the Internet that balding people can grow hair by applying ginger juice. As long as they rub their scalp with fresh ginger slices or ginger juice several times a day, their hair will grow back in a short time. But is this true? Does ginger juice really have the effect of growing hair as claimed online? Can balding people grow hair by applying ginger juice? Recently, reporters from CCTV’s “Is it Real?” interviewed relevant experts.
Qin Lina, director of the Rehabilitation Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said: "Baldness is also called baldness in ordinary times, and it is called Mediterranean alopecia in medicine. Most patients like this are caused by genetic factors. Yes, and part of it is due to endocrine factors, that is, the secretion of male hormones is too strong. It is unscientific for bald people to just apply ginger juice to grow hair, because the skin on the top of these people's heads is very thin and shiny, and the pores are They are all very small, which means that most of the hair follicles have shrunk and become necrotic. If you only rely on applying ginger juice to promote hair growth, it will not only have no effect, but if the force is too strong or the frequency is too high, it will accelerate the aging of the hair follicles. ” p>
Experts tell us that the scalp hair follicles of bald people will gradually become smaller under the action of androgens, and even some hair follicles will eventually disappear completely, so applying ginger juice will not have any effect. So, does ginger juice itself have any effect on hair growth? Does ginger juice for hair growth not work for everyone?
Yang Shuxia, deputy chief physician of the Department of Dermatology at Peking University First Hospital, said: "There is no evidence to prove whether ginger juice has hair growth effects. In fact, there is a completely opposite result in the laboratory. The extracts were used for hair follicle culture or animal experiments. After being used on these experimental subjects, hair growth was inhibited. So does ginger have a therapeutic effect on hair loss? Currently, there is a folk method of rubbing ginger on alopecia areata. This is effective for some people, but whether it is really ginger that plays a therapeutic role requires clinical observation with a large sample size to prove it. Why is this said? Because alopecia areata itself can heal itself. If alopecia areata is not It’s very heavy and will grow back on its own after a while, so it’s hard to tell whether it’s the effect of ginger or its own recovery.”
In addition, many people think that using the right shampoo will help hair growth. So, does this statement make sense?
Yang Shuxia said: "The growth and shedding of hair will not be affected by shampooing. Various shampoos have no effect on hair loss."
Experts tell us that baldness is mostly determined by genetic factors and endocrine factors, and is difficult to change through daily self-care. However, some types of hair loss can be improved through self-adjustment.
Qin Lina said: "There are two types of hair loss that can be improved by adjusting daily diet and rest. One is caused by mental factors, such as great mental stress, long-term insomnia, and irregular work and rest. , which will cause hair loss. At this time, we can improve it very well by changing our work and rest, adjusting our mentality, and relaxing our mood. Another type is hair loss caused by malnutrition, such as hair loss caused by diet control such as weight loss, and some children are picky eaters. Alopecia areata and baldness can be changed by supplementing some trace elements and adjusting the diet.”
From this point of view, if you want to make your hair healthy, you must first start with a balanced diet and reasonable sleep. . In addition, experts remind us that if you are facing the problem of hair loss, you should seek medical treatment in time and prescribe the right medicine, and you must not use folk remedies indiscriminately.
