Does smoking affect hair loss?

Some bad habits in life will affect hair loss. For example, frequent smoking is also an important cause of hair loss. Research has found that smoking has a more obvious effect on damaging hair follicle tissue. It will hinder the blood circulation of scalp tissue and increase male hormones, which is also an important cause of hair loss. Especially if you smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, severe hair loss will occur.

Does smoking affect hair loss?

Recently, British researchers have discovered that among the many factors that lead to hair loss in middle-aged men, smoking ranks among the top negative factors. According to a recent survey in Taiwan, men who smoke suffer from more severe hair loss. In the minds of many male friends, smoking is a very handsome and cool action. But in fact, smoking can cause many diseases in the human body. Of course, there are many other diseases that are rooted in smoking, not to mention those of the respiratory system.

So is the problem of hair loss also related to smoking? A new study shows that although Asian men are generally not more prone to hair loss than Caucasians, the situation is different if they smoke frequently.

Smoking may damage hair follicles

It hinders the circulation of hormones and blood in the scalp, thereby increasing the secretion of male hormones. In a survey of male smokers, most of them became addicted to smoking due to excessive stress, and 20% of them suffered from hair loss. Such data show that the impact of smoking and hair loss is still significant.

According to survey and research data, people who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day are more likely to experience moderate or severe hair loss. At the same time, the researchers pointed out that, in general, the symptoms of androgenic alopecia, the main cause of baldness in Asian men, appear later than in Caucasians, which is consistent with previous research results. The medical community has done more research on the relationship between baldness and smoking among white people, but few people have asked why Asians, blacks, and Native Americans become bald.

If a man shows early symptoms of hair loss, he should check whether it is related to smoking to prevent the hair loss from becoming more serious. If hair loss occurs, you should consider relying on medication to control hair loss.

In short, many people know that smoking is harmful to health, but they have never really taken it seriously. From the above survey, we can also know that hair loss and smoking are closely related, so we still remind the majority of male friends that for your health, try to smoke less, or even quit smoking, as smoking can cause many diseases.
