Typical Causes of Hair Loss
There are a lot of causes of hair loss and is definitelya major problemfor both men and women. This condition have been draining the confidence of thousands of peoplearound the globe. Though it doesn’t cause any physical harm or cause any pain, but it surely it affects you mentally.
There are many events and conditions that can trigger your hair to fall. Below are common causes of hair loss:
Stress. Stress is probably one of the common causes of short-term hair loss. There are all kinds of stressful conditions that can alter a person’s internal workings causing hair to fall. One good example is hair fall after giving birth or hair fall after a major operation. Stress related hair loss can trigger a condition called telogen effluvium, this is when all the hair follicles enter the telogen phase of the hair growth cycle and this is the phase when active hair fall occur.
Malnutrition. Extreme dieting or medical conditions like bulimia and anorexia nervosa can cause weak, dry and brittle hair. Our hair follicles produce about half an inch of hair every month. To continuously produce hair, the follicles needs a constant flow of nutrients, especially protein, as this is what hair is mostly made of.
Androgenetic alopecia or male/female pattern hair loss. This the number one cause of hair loss and it affects all people at any age. This type of hair loss is passed through the genes of both parents. For those who have a family history of hair loss, then it’s veryprobable that you’ll experience hair loss.
Alopecia Areata. This is also a genetic auto immune type of hair loss, and presents as patchy hair loss. What goes on here is that the immune system mistakenly thinks that the hair follicles are foreign bodies and attacks it, killing the hair follicles.
Luckily, all of the above conditions can be treated with the right hair loss treatment. Remember to use an herbal natural based hair loss treatment since these are made especially for long term use and do not cause any side effects.
