I recently received correspondence from someone who asked this question. I had to write back and ask if the person was talking about that, or dehydrated by water with excess chemicals when cleaning or caring for one's hair. The person explained that they are being asked about because I was dehydrated and losing hair shedding more than normal in the last few months and recently read that you need to drink eight glasses of water a day. Since they have not even begun to meet that requirement, and could think of no other reason for their loss of hair, you wonder if dehydration can be the cause. But they were also interested in hearing more about the issue of water quality, so it will be discussed and concerns in the next article.
dehydration and loss of hair: First, I must admit that there are many different opinions when it comes to determining how much water a man really needs, in order to stay well hydrated. Medical advice is different about it. It used to be that he thought that the minimum requirement for optimum health is 8-10 glasses of eight-ounce glasses of water a day. Recently, the medical community (or at least some members of it) seems to be backing off of these numbers at a time.
Whatever the actual number of glasses that you eat, a good way to tell if you are getting enough water to make sure that your urine is pale and / or clear and also to make sure that you regularly go to the bathroom . If this happens, it's a pretty good bet that you'll be well hydrated, regardless of the actual amount of water you have consumed it might be. (You can also get water in other ways besides drinking. Many foods (especially fruit) contains a decent amount of water.) And you're drinking does not have to be water. Juice and other drinks too many to count.
In terms of hair, and all systems must support the body (organs, skin, etc.), water will be an important component of this. Think about this. Hair yourself or 1/4th of the water. Generally speaking, though, it is more likely to see hair that is brittle, dry, and breaking off, or does not grow properly as a result of not enough water consumption, but that hair is falling out. Normally, with mild dehydration, hair, skin and nails just will not look as bright or as healthy as they should. They also can grow slowly or not at all.
However, severe dehydration, you can see the circulation in the skin, scalp and hair roots close as a measure to preserve the body reserves. This condition can cause some serious hair loss and shedding. It can also create other problems that can contribute to hair loss (such as dandruff, psoriasis and androgens) above. However, with relatively normal diet that includes a beverage, it is relatively rare to see this level of problems. That does not mean it can not happen. But it is something rarely from my own experience and research.
As for the bad quality of water or a high amount of chemicals to wash your hair (such as chlorine,) you'll see the same kind of aesthetic problem - dry hair that breaks easily or is not manageable. Usually you'll see that rather than breaking fall.
If you suspect that this May be a problem for you, it's very easy to solve this problem. Drinking more water is easy, free and worth a try to see if you obtain any relief. If this fails, You May want to look at other causes for your hair loss as telogen effluvium (TE,) other medical issues, or other common hair and scalp care, such as AGA (androgenic alopecia), which is by far the most common cause of hair loss.
