Ways By Which Nickel Causes Hair Loss

By Ida Dorsey


There are several metallic elements known to man. These range from iron, gold, diamonds, copper to nickel and mercury. Of the many nickel is the most unique in character. It is silver-white in colour and has a slight golden tinge. The metal is a transitional one with traits such as ductility and it is hard too. Ways by which nickel causes hair loss are under scrutiny.

This metallic element has many ways of application. One of them is designing the machines used in the production of power. This metal is mixed with other elements and then used to create other more requiring machine designs such as the gas turbines in production plants. It is also used in the manufacture of locomotives and automobiles.

Mixtures of nickel with similar metallic materials leads to the creation of metals with more desired characteristics. The product of such mixtures is called an alloy. These alloys are used in the formation of coins and water machines. Compounds of nickel are very good conductors of both heat and electricity. These are used in the making of electric appliances for kitchen work.

Without these materials, rechargeable cells would not be a possibility as well. These cells have endless applications in the modern world. These range from use in phones, laptops and touches and other communication gadgets. Due to the fact that they are magnetic also, these materials are used in the creation of compact discs and magnetic cassettes as well. Shiny home cutlery is also made using this material.

The many uses can be attributed to a number of very rare characteristics found in this element. It has the ability to withstand even the most corrosive elements in nature. It is also known to be very strong under both tensile and compressional forces. To add to that, this metal maintains all the above qualities even under high temperatures or low ones.

On the other hand it is also known to cause a number of complications in the human body. The most popular among them is a reaction commonly known are allergies. These allergies are however not very popular and only rare cases are reported every once a while. In addition cases of metal poisoning have also been reported but incidences for nickel are rare indeed.

The allergic reaction is called contact dermatitis. This is a condition that generally comes from being in contact with the material for a long period of time. It has a number of signs and symptoms but these vary with various people also. Common among them is redness of the body especially face, an itchy irritation and a burning sensation as well.

This has however not been proven to have an association with the exposure to the metal. Many schools of thought associate this condition of balding to genetic compositions of the person. Therefore, hair loss cannot yet be attributed to this element until research and further study show the association of the two. By the above facts, clearly it is one of the most important elements in nature today. It has been tried by different companies and the results have been amazing.
