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.

Nickel as a metal element has several applications in our world today. It is used in production of materials used in power production. Alloys with large proportions of nickel are used in creation of machines that are demanding in terms of resistance and strength. Such machines include gas turbines in chemical plants and other machinery too.

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.

One of its many uses also is providing a hard-wearing and decorative surfaces. It is also very essential in the process of creating rechargeable batteries used by phones and other gadgets. Creation of stainless steel for the production of fine utensils and discs for recording purposes. Nickel elements can be collected and recycled at the end of their useful life.

All these application are made possible by several unique qualities of this metal. Unlike other, nickel is better at corrosion resistance. It is stronger than majority of metal elements and can withstand high temperature to a very high level unlike most metals. It is as well magnetic in nature and can therefore respond to forces of magnetism.

Despite the numerous uses of nickel, it also has a number of disadvantages in nature. In addition to heavy metal poisoning, its also known to cause allergies in people. This is due to the toxic nature of the metal. This element disrupts proper body functionality and causes one to react negatively to it. This allergic reaction can is sometimes severe in nature depending on the person

The allergy is referred to as contact dermatitis. It is basically due to exposure to an irritant chemical compound. It has signs such as itching, redness and burning as well. Loss of hair is not one of the symptoms however. Hair loss also known as balding is majorly a genetic problem. The people that experience hair loss have a coding in their genes that causes this particular problem.

Many people have associated hair lose experiences to exposure to the metal as well. This however has no scientific bearing whatsoever. Hair loss has over time been attributed to be genetically affiliated. This condition of one losing hair from the head is also referred to as balding. It is popular among the old aged people but some cases have been reported among the youth too. It should be tried for it has been a success.
