  Narrator: Min Yi (pseudonym)

  I don't know what I want, but I know what I don't want

  Three years ago, I graduated from college.

I sat in the school dormitory where I stayed for four years, watching my roommates pack their bags and leave here one by one.

They thought clearly about their own way out long before graduation. One chose to study abroad, one already got an offer from a big factory, and the other chose to return to her hometown. She said that the sky of big cities is vast, but This place doesn't belong to her.

And I have no clue about my future.

What often flashed through my mind was the sentence my mother repeatedly said: "You are a girl, come back to us and find a solid job, get married, and just live in peace and stability for the rest of your life!"

  I never blatantly disobeyed my parents, but I was not the kind of obedient and obedient child either.

I can't agree with their so-called "standard" views on the life trajectory that a "girl" should take. In my opinion, this is a kind of prejudice.

After completing all the formalities for leaving school, I pulled my suitcase and came to Shanghai alone. I thought, in a bigger world, I can always find my own one-acre square field.

  society is a vast ocean

  When I first arrived in Shanghai, I stayed at a friend’s house. Before I had time to appreciate the city, I was immersed in the repetitive life of job hunting and interviews. Seeing that everyone in the circle of friends has gradually found the rhythm of work, it is a lie to say that I am not impatient. of.

After half a month of running around, I finally found a job with a professional counterpart.

Although work is not going to school, you have to "pay tuition".

After getting rid of the innocence in school, I felt the difficulty of life under the attack of clients and colleagues.

Customers demand instant replies, immediate responses.

If you are not careful, you will be complained to the leader. Although you will not be fired, you will inevitably be reminded intentionally or unintentionally.

In order to do a good job, I had to extend my working hours, and it was often after nine o'clock in the evening when I returned to the rental house.

What makes it even more difficult for me to accept is that there are often unexpected situations at work, which also causes me to often be hungry and full, and eat very irregularly.

As I get off work later and later, and I have less and less private time, I gradually start to feel irritable, and I often start to cry when I walk home at night, and I also wonder why I am working so hard. for what?

  Whenever I finish my day's work, what I want to do most is to lie on a small bed in a rental house alone and play with my mobile phone for a while without being disturbed, because I think that is my own time.

Because of this, I gradually developed the habit of staying up late, often not putting down my phone until one or two in the morning to go to sleep.

One year later, not only did my job feel more comfortable, but I was also very happy that I could stay in my favorite industry and city.

Although, I often feel physically tired.

  Emotional Red Lights of the Body

  It was an ordinary weekend, and I suddenly found a mess of hair lying on the bed sheet. I was stunned for a moment, and then I took a picture of my hair with the front camera of my mobile phone, only to find that I could see a long white flower scalp.

I searched the Internet for the first time, and found that many people had the same problem as myself, and in the process of browsing the Internet platform, I planted a hair growth shampoo with an attitude of trying, looking forward to it really being able to Help yourself restore widened hair seams.

  In addition to the high pressure of work and the continuous hair loss, the urging of my parents in my hometown also began to make me physically and mentally exhausted.

In the fourth year of coming to Shanghai, I was still working in a rented house, and my parents labeled me as unable to see the future.

My mother called and sent me WeChat more than once: "At your age, it is better to go home as soon as possible, girls have reached the age of marriage." In the eyes of my old family, I am already The time has come for the dust to settle; and in Shanghai, a bright future has just begun for me.

So, in the third year of Shanghai Piao, in my daily life, in addition to stabilizing my work and my parents, I also had to deal with my own hair problems. Sadly, the hair loss didn't get any better.

  Man is a product of social environment

  At the end of 2022, the company was facing bankruptcy and liquidation due to poor efficiency, and I lost my job overnight.

Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, my parents urged me to go home one by one.

The anxiety in my heart was gradually externalized, and the hair slit on the top of my head was getting wider and wider.

While constantly browsing the information on the new media platform, I am eager to find some really useful methods to relieve my hair loss; at the same time, the boredom and anxiety in my heart are increasing day by day.

The information on the Internet is true and false. If you want to really solve hair loss, you need to constantly try and make mistakes. After some hesitation, I decided to use correct and scientific methods to solve the problem.

  I made an appointment for a dermatology clinic in a tertiary hospital in Shanghai. Before I went, I thought that treating hair loss would be a very complicated thing, so I had prepared myself psychologically.

But to my surprise, after asking about my basic situation, the doctor said easily: "You have seborrheic alopecia, it's very common, don't worry." He breathed a sigh of relief for an instant.

To sum up, the anxiety and sadness I experienced in hair growth seem to be unnecessary now.

After returning home, I followed the doctor's instructions and began to adjust my mentality and emotions, and consciously eat more fruits and vegetables to ensure balanced nutrition, and try not to stay up late.

The doctor prescribed me mandiminoxidil tincture for treatment once a day, as long as I keep spraying it every day.

After persisting for about two and a half months, I found some messy fluff on the top of my head, and I was so happy.

  start from scratch

  I have always felt that life is an ecological circle. When one thing starts to get better, then all things will form a virtuous circle and gradually develop positively.

During the period of insisting on hair growth, I started to go to bed early and get up early, started to pay more attention to whether my life was happy, started to pay attention to the quality of life, started not to be bothered by gains and losses at work, and started to love myself, both physically and mentally. a big change.

Meanwhile, during these peace-of-mind days, I started interviewing with some companies.

I believe that hair, like work, can start from the "head".

  How to Cope with Telogen Hair Loss

  As the saying goes, spring is the season for all things to grow.

But the strange thing is that many friends around me have recently experienced hair loss.

What has actually happened?

First of all, we need to understand the growth cycle of hair, which is divided into three stages: growth period, regression period and rest period.

Anagen hair accounts for 85% to 90%, and telogen hair accounts for 9% to 14%.

With the arrival of spring, the hair will gradually enter the growth period, then the hair in the telogen period will randomly fall off when we wash and comb our hair every day, so in most cases, hair loss in spring belongs to the telogen period of the changing seasons.

Under normal circumstances, the number of hair loss in telogen effluvium does not exceed 100 per day, and the duration does not exceed 3 months.

  Generally speaking, hair loss in spring is mainly related to endocrine disorders and the growth rate of bacteria in spring.

On the one hand, after entering spring, the days are long and the nights are short, many people cannot quickly adapt to the change of seasons, and hormone fluctuations will further lead to endocrine disorders and affect the normal growth of hair; on the other hand, as everything grows in spring, the growth rate of bacteria also Faster, the hair will absorb too much bacteria to stimulate the scalp to destroy the barrier function of the scalp itself and cause abnormal hair loss.

  If you experience abnormal hair loss at this time, pay attention to your balanced diet and daily routine.

If the hair loss has not improved for three months or more, the possibility of pathological hair loss cannot be ruled out. You can try to use 5% minoxidil tincture and other topical sprays for intervention.

Hair loss is irreversible and the sooner it is treated the better.
