Shedding of hair is natural during the cycle of its growth. However,
for people the hair re growth does not occur, which results in thinning
hair and gradually lead to baldness.
The causes of hair loss can be many,
- It is an eminent factor that poor nutrition and unhealthy lifestyles
can have a bad effect on your health as well as your hair. Deficiency
in vitamins can also cause hair loss. Try eating sufficient
amounts of protein, proper levels of useful carbohydrates and
achieving a healthy balance of dietary fats. Eat more fruits in
the morning and more vegetable for lunch and dinner. Drink lots
of water and add dairy products to your regular diet.
- Dandruff is one major cause associated with hair loss. Therefore, if you have
dandruff, you need to get
rid of it immediately. Dandruff combines with dirt, shampoo chemicals,
excess sebum follicle oil. Over time this combination of chemicals
can create a film on your scalp that hardens and start to plug
up your hair follicles. Once plugged, your follicles can't support
hair growth.
- Exposure to sun, wind and heat for long durations can result in hair loss.
- Excessive use of hair dryers, hot showers, and curling irons on your hair can also cause hair loss.
- Stress is a major reason why you can experience hair loss. If we are stressed above our tolerance level, it might result in hair loss. This is due to the fact that the hair's regeneration is paused under such conditions and it may take as long as one year for the hair follicles to resume producing hair.
- Hormonal problems are also associated with hair loss. The over activeness or under activeness of your thyroid gland can result in hair loss. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are not properly balanced.
- Certain drugs can also cause hair loss. Medicines that can cause hair loss include anticoagulants, medicines used in chemotherapy to treat cancer, excessive intake of vitamin A, birth control pills and antidepressants.
- Fungal infection of the scalp can also result in hair loss.
- 3 or 4 months after a severe illness or a major surgery, you may experience a sudden loss of a large amount of hair. This hair loss is related to the illness and is temporary.
- An underlying disease such as diabetes and others can also cause hair loss.Women usually notice hair loss about 3 months after they have a baby. This is primarily because during pregnancy high levels of certain hormones cause the body to keep hair that would normally fall out. When the hormones return to pre-pregnancy levels, that hair falls out and the normal cycle of growth and loss starts again.
- Hair loss may be an early sign of a disease, and therefore it is very important to find the cause of the disease so that it can be treated.
Although there are varied reasons for hair loss, yet the proper hair loss treatment can sometimes provide solution and help you regain your original hair growth and health. If the problem does not cure by natural remedies or by necessary measures, it is advisable to contact a dermatologist to help retain your hair growth.
