It is the number of pigment particles in hair that determines the color of hair, which is related to the development and growth of pigment cells in papilla of hair roots. Hair turns from black to white. Generally, the function of pigment cells in hair declines. When it declines to the point where pigment particles cannot be produced at all, hair turns white completely. Normal people begin to decline from the age of 35. And some people are white when they are 20 years old. In medicine, they are called juvenile white hair, commonly known as "young white head".
The causes of baldness are complicated, which are not only related to hereditary and physical factors, but also related to various acquired factors.
Acquired baldness. There are many reasons: malnutrition, such as lack of protein, vitamins and some trace elements (such as copper), will make hair turn white; Some chronic consumptive diseases such as tuberculosis, etc., due to nutritional deficiency, hair is whiter than ordinary people earlier; Some patients with long-term fever, hair will be yellow and brittle or even white and fall off; Some endocrine diseases, such as pituitary or thyroid diseases, can affect the ability of pigment cells to produce pigment particles and lead to premature whitening of hair; Encephalitis, neuropathy, etc. can also make hair white; The skin, hair and eyebrows of albino patients are all white; The disease of skin whitening-"vitiligo", if it happens on the scalp, the hair will also turn white; Others believe that the more you use your brain, the sooner your hair will turn white; Some young people's hair turns white in a short time, which is related to serious mental trauma or mental fatigue such as excessive anxiety and sadness.
Juvenile baldness, which is called premature albinism by western medicine, is a kind of white hair disease in children and youth, and its etiology is very complicated. There are two types of * * *, one is congenital baldness, and the other is acquired baldness. Many acquired baldness are accompanied by some diseases, while others are caused by mental stress and malnutrition. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hair is closely related to primordial qi, primordial qi and nutrient qi. Only by maintaining a dynamic balance in the supply or function of the three can human skin hair be normal and beautiful. If one qi is insufficient, it will affect the operation or function of other qi. If the second gas is damaged, it will inevitably lead to the damage of human skin and hair, lose its normal structure and properties, and show different degrees of morbidity.
So, what is the cause of "juvenile white hair"? Up to now, there is no satisfactory exact answer in medicine. According to research, it may be related to the following factors.
(1) Mental factors: If a person is depressed for a long time, has a bad mood or is highly nervous and overworked, his hair can turn from black to white.
(2) Nutritional status: Hair is an appendage of the skin, and it needs adequate nutrition just like organs and tissues in other parts of the body. According to medical clinical observation, if the body lacks protein, vegetable oil, vitamin B 1, vitamin B2 and vitamin B6 for a long time, it will also lead to the hair turning from black to white.
(3) Diseases, drugs and heredity: Diseases, drugs and heredity are also factors that cause hair to turn from black to white. Endocrine disorders such as pituitary dysfunction and hyperthyroidism, consumptive diseases such as tuberculosis, typhoid fever and pernicious anemia, and autonomic nerve dysfunction are all diseases that have been found to be related to hair turning from black to white.
The color of hair depends on the number, size and distribution of pigment particles in the hair cortex, as well as pigment properties and various optical effects. The graying or whitening of hair in old age is a physiological phenomenon, which is related to the gradual loss of tyrosinase activity in hair balls. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of this disease is related to kidney deficiency and blood heat, and corresponding Chinese medicine can be given orally. It is suggested that patients should go to the hospital to find a specialist for diagnosis and treatment.
The most important thing to prevent juvenile white hair is to eliminate the objective factors that induce white hair. If you have a few white hairs, don't be too nervous; Don't be too tired and nervous; Broad-minded, optimistic, and maintain a good mood; Pay attention to scientific catering, eat coarse food, miscellaneous grains, dried and fresh fruits and all kinds of vegetables, and don't be picky eaters and partial eclipse; Develop good habits of regular life, etc.
White hair does not include white hair caused by senile natural aging, but refers to early-stage white hair disease caused by genetic factors or some diseases. Modern medicine believes that poliosis is mainly caused by the decrease of melanin formation in hair, the weakening of melanin formation function of melanocytes and the decrease of tyrosinase activity. Any emotional stress, excessive brain use, anxiety, panic, nerve trauma, etc. may cause white hair. In addition, white hair may also appear when you are born with chronic wasting diseases.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the following factors are related to white hair:
First, the essence is deficient and the blood is weak: the kidney essence is insufficient, and yin blood can not be transformed, which leads to the loss of nourishment of hair, so it is gray.
Second, excessive blood heat: emotional excitement, resulting in water not containing wood, liver hyperactivity and blood dryness, excessive blood heat, hair root dystrophy, so early whitening.
Third, liver stagnation and spleen dampness: liver qi stagnation, damage to the heart and spleen, spleen injury and dereliction of duty, qi and blood biochemical passive, so white hair.
