Non-disease factors:
Physiological causes: It can be seen in pregnancy, hair loss after childbirth, and hair loss after middle age, which is mostly related to hormone levels in the body during special periods; it is in a state of excessive mental stress for a long time, and the scalp is in a tight state for a long time, resulting in hair loss.
Physical reasons: air pollutants block hair follicles, insufficient cleaning of the head; local squeeze and friction with hats for a long time, braids are too tightly braided, etc., excessive exposure of ultraviolet rays in the sunlight, frequent use of hot air to blow hair can easily become thinner.
Chemical reasons: The damage to scalp tissues and hair follicle cells by harmful chemicals leads to hair loss.
Hair loss caused by long-term use of certain chemical preparations, hair perms, hair dyes and other hair cosmetics are also the most common causes of hair loss.
Deputy Chief Physician Qi Lin said: Hair loss in autumn is a natural physiological phenomenon and is related to the climate.
When summer and autumn change, hair follicles are affected by summer ultraviolet rays and high temperatures, and are affected by certain damage.
The temperature drops in autumn, and the environmental humidity is small, the scalp is dry, and the hair follicles on the scalp shrink faster. This will cause atrophy to hair follicles that are insufficient or seriously damaged, and grow thin or lack of hair, causing less and less hair and worsening hair loss.
Everyone will experience more severe hair loss in autumn than in other seasons. In the spring of the next year, the climate will be warm and moist. Not only will hair loss be reduced, but new hair will also increase significantly.
Doctor Qi reminds Xiao Liu to note that in addition to seasonal and climatic factors, autumn hair loss is also related to its own regulation.
Excessive use of the brain, irritability, anxiety, depression and other unstable emotions will aggravate the phenomenon of hair loss in autumn.
Too greasy and spicy to intake excessive oily food, causing the sebaceous glands to secrete too strongly and block, which will directly or indirectly damage the hair.
Excessive dieting and picky eating lead to a deficiency of trace elements in the body, especially vitamins and zinc, causing hair to fall off due to severe malnutrition.

Truth: No.
Modern pharmacology research Ginger does not have substances that promote hair growth, so it will not grow in any external method. In addition, ginger is spicy, and external use should also be paid attention to stimulating and inducing contact dermatitis , causing complexity of the condition.
