Preface

Hair follicles have relatively independent structure and function, and are one of the smallest organs in human body. Hair is produced in the hair follicle, which plays an important role for animals. In addition to the physiological functions of keeping out the cold, preventing water loss and UV damage, it also has the auxiliary function of attracting the opposite sex through its special color and shape. Human beings have experienced millions of years of evolution. With the changes of diet and living habits, most of the hair follicles in the body have degenerated and will continue to degenerate. For human beings, the important physiological function of hair is no longer needed. However, considering the important auxiliary function of hair to attract the attention of the opposite sex, human beings still hope that it can be maintained. From the aesthetic point of view, we are willing to see the degeneration of hair follicles in the body position. However, after the degeneration of hair follicles in our scalp, that is, hair loss, the current aesthetic concept can not appreciate its beauty. Therefore, the degeneration speed of human hair follicles exceeds the speed of human aesthetic evolution. Hair loss is the evil curse of human face. Now more than half of European men will face serious hair loss problems, and most of contemporary young men will be troubled or anxious by hair loss problems to varying degrees.
      How to protect hair follicles to avoid premature degeneration and atrophy? At present, there is a relatively complete understanding of the anatomical structure of hair follicle. Although there is no very effective drug for the treatment of hair loss, some drugs play an important role in the prevention of hair loss. Hair transplantation technology is a new way to solve the problem of hair loss to a certain extent. Hair follicle regeneration technology provides an ideal solution for the treatment of hair loss in the future. In addition, changing some habits is also an effective way to care for hair follicles. The purpose of this book is to analyze the basic characteristics of hair follicles, analyze the causes of hair loss problems, introduce in detail the drugs and hair transplantation technologies for the treatment of hair loss, look forward to some cutting-edge technologies in the field of hair follicle regeneration, and finally summarize the diet and living habits that can promote hair growth. We hope this book can provide readers with comprehensive and reliable information in the process of understanding and caring for hair follicles.

前 言

毛囊有相对独立的结构和功能，是人体最小的器官之一。毛发产生于毛囊，其对于动物来说有着重要的作用，除了具有御寒、防止水分散失和紫外线伤害等生理功能外，还具有通过其特殊颜色和形态吸引异性的辅助功能。人类经历了数百万年的进化，随着饮食和生活习惯的改变，身体中的大部分毛囊已经退化，而且还会继续保持着退化的趋势。毛发对于动物来说重要的生理功能人类已经不再需要，然而考虑到毛发这种吸引异性注意的这种重要辅助功能人类还希望其能继续保持。从审美角度讲，我们愿意看到身体躯干部位中毛囊的退化，然而当我们头皮中毛囊退化或简称脱发以后，现在的审美观念还并不能欣赏其美，所以说人体毛囊的退化速度超过了人类审美进化的速度。脱发是人颜值的邪恶诅咒。现在有超过一半的欧洲男性会面临严重的脱发问题，当代大部分的青年男性都会被不同程度的脱发问题困扰或为之焦虑。
         如何呵护毛囊使其避免过早的退化和萎缩？目前对毛囊的解剖结构有比较完整的认识，虽然还没有非常有效的治疗脱发药物，但一些药物在预防脱发中有明显的作用。植发技术是可以在一定程度上解决脱发问题的新兴手段。毛囊再生技术为未来治疗脱发问题提供了理想的方案。此外，改变一些生活习惯也是呵护毛囊的有效方式。本书旨在解析毛囊的基本特征，分析脱发问题的原因，同时详细的介绍治疗脱发的药物和植发技术，也展望了毛囊再生领域内的一些前沿技术，最后还总结了可以促进毛发生长的饮食和生活习惯。希望此书可以为读者朋友在了解毛囊、呵护毛囊的过程中提供全面和可靠的信息。
