Chapter I: PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
1.1 Introduction
Hair grows everywhere on the human skin except on the palms of our hands and the soles of our feet, but many hairs are so fine they're virtually invisible. Hair is made up of a protein called keratin that is produced in hair follicles in the outer layer of skin. In our society today, some of us—Filipinos, are distressing from hair loss, also called “alopecia”.
According to some researches, as people age, hair tends to gradually thin. Other causes of hair loss include hormonal factors, medications, and by stress. The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition called male-pattern baldness or female-pattern baldness.
According to a blog of hair loss statistics, the number of hair loss sufferers, world-wide, seeking professional treatment more than doubled between 2004 and 2008 from 361,077 to 811,363. As of 2010, hair loss in women affects roughly 50%. 40% of men have noticeable hair loss by age 35, 65% by age 60, and 80% by age 80.
Hormonal changes and imbalances can also cause temporary hair loss. This could be due to pregnancy, childbirth, discontinuation of birth control pills or the onset of menopause. In Medications, hair loss can be caused by drugs used to treat cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems and high blood pressure. Other causes of hair loss can also result from hair-pulling disorder and certain hairstyles-- such as pigtails or cornrows when the hair is pulled too tightly.
As humans, we are obviously too conscious about our hair. We always wanted to
