Jeon Mi-sun (pseudonym, 34), a housewife, has felt that her hair has been losing little by little since last month. Then, I was looking in the mirror a while ago and saw that my hair had shrunk a lot, so I was in trouble. "At first, I thought about wigs, but it seems uncomfortable, but I don't think they fell out enough to have hair transplants," Jeon said. "I'm constantly looking for other ways."
Hair loss is no longer exclusive to men, and in addition to hair loss as a whole, various hair loss symptoms such as stress-related hair loss appear in modern people.
In fact, the number of people who lose hair in Korea is estimated to be 3.36 million men and 2.95 million women, indicating that more than one out of every 10 people are suffering from hair loss.
In particular, hair loss is known to get worse in autumn, because the stratum corneum of the scalp formed by severe UV rays in summer progresses rapidly due to dry and cool weather in autumn and severe daily temperature difference.
In addition, dry weather causes scratching of the head, which causes inflammation of the scalp and increased hair loss.
There are many ways depending on the type and symptoms of hair loss, and if the hair has not fallen out enough to require a hair transplant, many people will think about what to do with the hair that has become empty.
Kim Sung-ah, director of BL Clinic, said, "Because hair transplantation is expensive and it is difficult to wear most wigs all the time, it is often covered with semi-permanent makeup recently."
The hair loss treatment method used by semi-permanent cosmetics uses pigments similar to one's own hair color to make the hair loss area natural by filling the hair loss area as if it had actual hair.
In other words, instead of hair transplantation, semi-permanent makeup gives an optical illusion as if there are hair roots or short hair in the empty area.
Hair loss treatment using semi-permanent cosmetic surgery can be performed in circular hair loss, male hair loss, and female hair loss.
Director Kim Sung-ah explained, "You can escape from irritation caused by excessive drug treatment or skin allergies and discomfort caused by wearing wigs, and there is no burden of expensive treatment costs, especially hair transplants."
Above all, it doesn't show at all when seen with the naked eye, and you don't have to care even if you're sweating or in the water.
The cost of semi-permanent makeup varies depending on the area compared to the cost of hair transplantation, which lasts from three to six to seven years once the procedure is performed and varies depending on the number of hair roots.
Recently, it is also being treated as a way to reduce the hairline, and Director Kim Sung-ah said, "When the forehead is too wide or the hairline of the forehead is square, semi-permanent makeup can supplement this."
◇ Seaweed and vegetable oil for hair shine
Director Kim Sung-ah recommended seaweed such as seaweed and kelp, which are rich in minerals, as food that makes hair shiny.
Tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, beans, egg yolks, and black sesame seeds are also good for hair, and animal oil intake is reduced and vegetable oil is more helpful for hair.
Director Kim Sung-ah advised, "Hair care usually starts with washing your hair, so make sure to rinse thoroughly after shampooing, and rinse carefully so that the undiluted solution does not touch the scalp."
In addition, it is recommended that the ratio of protein, carbohydrate, and unsaturated fat be 30:40:30 as a diet.
