Why do these countries suffer great baldness?
From the country ranks above, you should notice that it seems that people in European countries are more likely to struggle with hair loss, you don't see any Asian countries in this list. Why? Do Asians have a secret to deal with hair thinning? You should be aware that there are some reasons for the result that Europeans are more prone to hair loss. The main ones include the following.
1. Genes
As research has proven, European races are the most susceptible to baldness, while Africans are the least affected. Asians fall somewhere in between these two races. Genetic factors are the most significant contributor to male hair loss, and studies have proven that whites are more likely to inherit it.
2. Diet
The rate of hair follicle growth depends heavily on the nutrition provided. Any deficiency in protein and vitamins can lead to miniaturisation of the hair follicles. It seems that Europeans are more fond of meat and they consume less fruits and vegetables.
In the Czech Republic, for example, they always prefer to eat meat that is difficult to digest and rarely eat vegetables or fruit. With such a long-term diet, lacking the necessary yin and yang to provide for the scalp, the scalp becomes sensitive and fragile and the hair follicles become more susceptible to irritation. The hair will then be more inclined to fall out.
3. Water
Do you often hear from friends who have studied in European countries from Asia that their hair loss became worse when they arrived there? This is indeed the case. You may notice the phenomenon that you boil water in a kettle for a month in China and the kettle is perfectly clean. And the same practice, the same ah-jin, in the UK, you will find the boiling kettle is full of limescale. This is because the water in Europe contains a lot of substances such as calcium carbonate, or what we call hard water, which is weakly alkaline.
Firstly, you need to understand that the scalp is weakly acidic. In other words, the healthy environment for the scalp to grow is weakly acidic and prolonged exposure to an alkaline environment will produce an adverse reaction in the scalp.
Secondly, a lot of calcium carbonate and other ingredients will remain in your hair and you may feel your hair is very itchy or you may find your hair has become dry and dull. In short, your hair's health is damaged and at this time your hair tend to fall out.
Now that you know that these factors can affect your hair health, it's all the more important that you pay attention to these areas, wherever you are from. Don't ignore them and maybe your hair will fall out. Also, once you are one of these countries, follow a few of the reasons above and check your life against your own, are you offending some of them? If so, try to improve your behaviour and keep your hair healthy from now on.
