Does creatine cause hair loss?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No one really knows for sure, but one study noted an increased DHT level and DHT:testosterone ratio in men taking creatine. Testosterone is converted to DHT by 5alpha-reductase, and high DHT levels and DHT:testosterone ratio have been associated with male pattern balding. Propecia, which is used for male pattern balding, is a 5alpha-reductase inhibitor which is supposed to prevent further balding by decreasing conversion of testosterone to DHT.

This effect is probably only likely to occur in people who are genetically susceptible to male pattern baldness however.

Why does your rabbits hair fall out?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Rabbits lose fur for two reasons: because they're moulting, or because they're sick.

Moulting

If your rabbit is losing a lot of fur, he could just be going through a heavy moult. Rabbits don't shed continuously like cats -- instead, they moult like birds, and shed all their excess fur at once. Rabbits moult three or four times a year.

A moulting rabbit has a healthy, clean looking coat of fur. There's no naked skin showing; or, sometimes a bit of skin does show, but it looks pale and smooth, and clean and healthy, and the fur grows back within a day or two.

Illnesses

If your rabbit has crusty skin, or flaky skin or dandruff, or irritated red skin, or open sores, or wet fur and skin -- these are signs the fur loss is not normal moulting. Your rabbit is sick and needs to see a special rabbit-savvy vet as soon as possible!

Your rabbit may have parasites, or a bacterial infection.

Your rabbit may be fighting with other rabbits.

If the fur loss is just under the chin, this is probably caused by too much moisture in that area. Your rabbit may be drooling, which indicates a dental problem . Or, if your rabbit is overweight and/or has a huge dewlap, the excess moisture may just be from drinking from a bowl instead of a bottle. Either way, bring the rabbit to the vet so you can rule out dental disease (a very serious condition in rabbits!).

If the fur loss is just on the rear end, this is probably caused by urine scald. This could indicate a urinary infection. Or, it could indicate a mobility problem (if the rabbit can't position properly to pee, and then pees on himself, and then can't groom himself properly to get rid of the pee on his fur, this can lead to fur loss).

Water makes up one-fourth of the weight of a strand of hair. Moisture makes the hair supple, so make sure you get plenty of fluids. A key point is NOT to wait until you're thirsty. If you're thirsty, it means your body has already lost more water than it should have, and it's urging you to fill up the tank. Water not only hydrates your body, but helps keep your hair silky and shiny. Ideally, you should drink between eight and ten glasses of water a day.Olive Oil- An oil made from Olea Europaea L. that was believed to have been introduced in Egypt in its later periods. It became a main oil for herbal infusions and unguents. Many varieties of olive oil are well known today and used in all sorts of recipes both cosmetic and culinary worldwide.

Does Drinking water make your hair fall out?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no proof that drinking tap water makes you bald. It's genetics. Some women going through menopause can lose hair near the crown to their forehead. Men often have "male pattern baldness." Take a look at your family and you'll know what I mean by genetics. Drinking tap water may cause hair loss for people who suffer from zinc deficiency. Tap water may contain excess copper, from copper pipes, which prevents absorption of zinc by the small intestine. This causes deficiency of zinc, which in turn causes hair loss. People who are in vegetarian diet may face this problem more than those who eat red meat, because zinc availability from plant sources are less. A zinc supplement taken regularly could avoid this problem.

How often should you use coconut oil in your hair?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Once every week to two weeks. Using another oil and not letting your natural oil from your hair to repair your hair itself can damage your hair. Washing your hair too often, using too much heat and hair products and also damage your hair. Wash your hair once every three days or more if you can handle it. I do it once every two weeks.

Is coconut oil good for fine hair?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Virgin Coconut oil enhances the color of our hair, gives it a soft feel and even helps combat dandruff. You don't even have to climb a coconut tree or pay an overly priced spa to get it. It is sold in most hair supply stores for under $8 dollars. Follow these simple steps:

Deep Treatment: Add a few tablespoons of pure virgin coconut oil to dry or slightly damp hair. Wrap the hair in a hot, wrung out towel or plastic bag, then cover with a thick dry towel. Allow the oil to work into hair for at least 30 minutes. The heat will allow the oil to penetrate and fully moisturize your hair.

Smooth Style: Add about half a teaspoon of coconut oil to damp hair after washing. Keep oil away from roots to avoid a greasy look. It's best to start out with a small amount and add as you go because it's really easy to go overboard. The only way to reverse an oily do is to wash again.

Relief from Dandruff/Scalp Conditions: Coconut oil has anti-fungal and anti-microbial qualities that help combat dandruff and bacterial scalp infections. Apply virgin coconut oil to the scalp. Occasionally leave it on for a prolonged period (30 minutes or so) before shampooing.

Hair Loss: Coconut oil is even believed to slow hair loss by revitalizing and exfoliating dead skin tissue from the scalp. Apply the oil directly to the scalp and massage with your fingertips for 5 minutes. Shampoo as usual.

How do you have healthy hair?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are so many things you have to do to have great hair. Here are some:

*Instead of using a regular brush, try to get a boar bristle brush. Boar bristles help distribute the nutrients in your hair. Also if a hairbrush hurts or scrapes your head don't use it. Make sure your hairbrush has something on top of the bristles (so it won't hurt your head).

*Try not to dye your hair. It is damaging. If you want to use henna coloring, it comes in all colors and isn't as harmful as regular dyes are.

*Most people would say, don't use heat on your hair. Well I don't. I NEED to use heat on my hair (straightening iron, blowdryer) because it would look horrible without it. But when you do use heat on your hair, make sure to use a protectant, even when blowdrying!!

*Use a wide-tooth comb when brushing wet hair. If you can, don't brush your wet hair. Dry it out somehow. It damages it alot when you brush it wet.

*Put your hair in a loose bun or ponytail when going to bed. Doing that helps not make so much friction on your hair. If you dont want to do that, get a silk pillow case. If you can, do both!!

*If you swim alot, invest in a swimming cap. Chlorine = super harsh on hair. But if you only swim once in a while, i suggest putting a deep conditioner on 30-10 minutes befor you get in the pool. If you go outside alot, try to find a spray or something that has sunscreen in it.

Which fruit contains what vitamin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a tall order to answer since there are a lot of fruits available. For example, oranges are known for vitamin C but it also contains folate, vitamin A, and calcium. Raspberries also contain vitamin C and folate but it also contains copper, magnesium and riboflavin. And cantaloupe contains vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium and vitamin B-6 There is a web site that might help you look at the nutrient content of fruits: www.whfoods.com There is a list of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, etc. You can click on one of them and it will give you more information than you have asked to receive -- including the vitamin content.

Answeryou could try washing it in Beer I've heard that that works AnswerWash your hair using camomille infusions ,effective and 100% natural. Some shampoo brands sell some camomille-based products. Try "Klorane" ,for blond hair for exemple..

Answer

use lemon juice I did it today and yesterday and my hair is so much lighter I would do it again. What I did was squeeze 5 lemons and it put a little bit of water and some olive oil (so it wont dry the hair out) and I mixed it in a big bowl and I dipped my head to soak my hair in it and then sat in direct sun light for over 1 hour and a half and let it sit about 30 min after and my hair is amazing!

Or if your up to it take a comb while in the shower appily any shampoo that you have while washing out the shampoo comb through your hair which helps clean any other particles that are still in your hair(: do the same with condtioner ive did this for awhile now and i think it works.

Can losing a lot of weight make your hair fall out?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the weight-loss was related to illness or weight-loss surgery then hair falling out is quite commonplace afterwards. It may also fall out slightly if you are not consuming adequate amounts of iron, or have severely cut the amount of nutrients you are consuming. If you're worried, it may be worth consulting a registered dietitian to make sure your diet is nutritionally adequate, or your GP/family doctor if your hair keeps falling out.

If you're male what can you do about excessive arm hair short of shaving?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Wax, sugar, laser, electrolysis, Nair. I suggest Nair.... it just dissolves the hair. But it'll keep coming back.

Shaving as well as using a dipilatory (such as Nair) removes the hair down to the skin surface. As this may be unwanted and also can be uncomfortable as the hair regrows, a milder and equally inexpensive suggestion is to trim the hair. As longer hair tends to criss-cross and mat, then excessive hair can look "thinner" simply by trimming the hair down to a minimal length. Using an electric hair trimmer oftens used for hair cuts or those for trimming beards, one may trim down the hair on arms and legs (and backs, etc) to a shorter length (about a 1/4 inch). This enables a natural look of a man's hairy body without seeming excessive, and gives a thinning appearance, without the bristle of and "shave" bumps that shaving and even cremes can give on regrowth.

Can not washing your hair lead up to you going bald?

User Avatar

Asked by Mikeredondo1

Not directly, although the lack of washing hair can increase the length of time that active DHT is able to stay locked in the hair follicles. Washing with regular shampoo removes this hormone.

DHT is a natural byproduct of testosterone that is known to cause follicle degradation and hair loss.
