That which is of little density or thickness can be classified as thin.
Ralo is an adjective with etymological origin in rarus , a word from the Latin language. According to the dictionary prepared by the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ), rare is something that has units or fragments that are more separated than usual compared to other elements of the same type.
By extension to this meaning , the adjective sparse is used to describe what has little thickness or density . For example: “With his thin mustache, the boy tried to look older,” “Juan tried to hide his thin hair with a hat, although everyone noticed that he was going bald,” “It is sparse land, with little vegetation.”
In ancient times, rare was also used as a synonym for rare : rare, therefore, was that which was infrequent or unusual : “In recent days several strange events happened in this city” , “They are rare animals in these lands” .
Tips for treating thinning hair
Men can suffer from this phenomenon , which is characterized by a decrease in the diameter of the hair follicle, the part of the skin in which hair begins to grow, thanks to the concentration of stem cells. When no action is taken to stop this problem, the follicle stops functioning properly, specifically it loses its ability to produce hair . For this reason, it is advisable to take action as soon as possible.
The first step is to talk to a doctor; Although it may seem out of context, it is important to remember that hair loss can be a symptom of a health problem . On the other hand, it is a medical professional who can prescribe drugs such as Propecia , ideal for treating the problem of thinning hair, which is also often known as alopecia , although this term refers generically to abnormal hair loss.
Thinning hair is associated with alopecia.
Possible treatments
Thinning hair can be concealed with a shampoo called Nioxin , which does not help with growth but does offer a thicker appearance to the hair. Its ingredients act to improve circulation, which is why it is ideal to combine it with the vasodilator minoxidil , a product ideal for stimulating hair growth, as well as combating baldness. The penetration of minoxidil is more effective when used together with Nioxin .
Before applying minoxidil, care should be taken to dry the hair well to prevent water droplets from diverting it and making it difficult to penetrate the scalp . Another shampoo that can be used to combat thinning hair is the anti-inflammatory called Nizoral ; Its application, however, must be carried out once every three days.
A very important aspect of this type of treatment is not to exceed the doses or frequency of application of the products. Minoxidil, for example, should be given in doses of 1 milliliter at a time, once in the morning and once at night, with the help of a dropper included in the box. The areas where it should be applied are those in which thinning hair is noticeable.
