Ways By Which Nickel Causes Hair Loss

By Ida Dorsey


Nickel is a metallic elements that occurs naturally in nature. It has several uses in our daily lives. It occurs a silvery-white metal with a golden tinge. It is a transition element that is hard and can be rolled into wires. Ways in which nickel causes hair loss are yet to be proved. Study is still underway as pertaining this issue.

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.

This material is also mixed with other metallic materials to create stronger and more durable ones. These hybrid metals are usually called alloys. These alloys are used in production of coins and turbines that can function under water. Due to the fact that these alloys can conduct power, they are also used in transportation of electricity over long distances.

This material is used in the making of cells. Most of the rechargeable batteries are created using nickel. These batteries have numerous applications in cell phones, computers and other appliances in homes. The stainless steel which is an alloy of nickel and steel is used to make kitchen cutlery for home use. The magnetic property of this metal is applied in making of recordable discs and cassettes.

The several uses are attributed to the numerous favourable characteristics of the metal. Compared to other metal elements, can again offer better resistance to corrosion, better toughness and strength too. In addition, their strength is not limited by the level of temperature. This chemical also has a number of useful magnetic and electronic properties as well.

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 condition is known as contact dermatitis. This condition varies in intensity from one person to another. Likewise the signs and symptoms may differ too. In most cases the major signs are redness, the person experiences an itch and a burning sensation is felt as well. There are claims also that some people experience hair loss due to exposure to the metal.

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.
