Why Seeing a Trichologist Matters

Recently I had the misfortune of breaking a toe. It was so painful I could barely walk. Having broken a toe before, I knew exactly what to do. I called a podiatrist. He gave me an X-ray, confirmed it was broken, and taught me how to tape my toe to alleviate the pain and so it would heal properly. We debated putting a pin in it, but I opted out of that. Instead, he put me in a boot for four weeks! I’m glad to report that I’m healing well and have been able to work standing up the entire time.

While in the boot, I was surprised how many people asked me what happened to my foot. It’s not an exciting story. I bumped into a piece of exercise equipment, twice! Most people followed up with the same response, saying “Well, I suppose there’s really nothing you can do about it.” I hear this a lot about hair loss too. A broken toe or thinning hair, nothing could be further from the truth!

Losing Your Eyelashes?

When we think about hair loss we often think of the hair on our head, but hair loss can occur wherever there is hair on the body. When it happens, it can be distressing regardless of where it is. Many women who experience shedding notice more hair on their clothing, in the shower and in their brush. But what does it mean when you suddenly see more eyelashes in your mascara wand or discover a patch of missing eyelashes? First let’s talk about eyelashes and what they do. Eyelashes are filters for the eyes. They protect against dust, debris and perspiration that can enter the eyes and irritate them. They help block out light. They also act like whiskers on an animal and can sense things coming at the eye, triggering the protective action of blinking. People average 90 to 150 lashes on the upper lid and 70 to 80 on the lower lid. The life span of an eyelash is only 30 to 45 days before falling out, one of the shortest of all of the hairs on the body. People lose on average one to five lashes a day. If you’re losing more than that or if a bald spot (alopecia) occurs, it’s time to investigate the reasons why.
