The Cause of Hair Loss |
|
Normally, about 10 percent of the hair on your head is resting (not growing). After a few months, the resting hair falls out and new hair begins to grow in its place. The growing phase can last from 2 to 6 years. While in the growing phase, hair will gain approximately 1 centimeter a month. It is normal to experience hair loss every day as part of this normal resting/growing cycle. Some people experience excessive hair loss from a variety of causes. The cause of hair loss is multi-variable. Most people erroneously believe that hair loss is caused by things like bad circulation, stress, sweat and dirt on the scalp, or wearing hats.

Causes of Hair Loss
Author:

Hair loss, in both men and women, can be a difficult matter to face. Most of the time, the individuals who are dealing with hair loss focus solely on the prevention/treatment of hair loss rather than the origin, which may aid in the prevention/treatment of hair loss. Although hair loss causes vary from person to person, there are a few main factors that cause hair loss, such as heredity and aging.
In men, the most common causes of hair loss are heredity, hormones and aging. These contribute to the potential for men to lose hair. In women, some common causes of hair loss include poor circulation, hormonal changes after menopause or having a baby, and poor diet. A few other causes of hair loss include high stress, diabetes, certain drugs, chemicals and hair dyes, vitamin deficiencies and poor nutrition, and so on.
In the case of losing hair based on genes, there may not be much that men or women can do in the way of prevention. Chances are that if a parent or close relative, or many close relatives, suffer from hair loss, these individuals with also have hair loss caused by heredity. In these instances, hair loss acts like a genetic based disease or trait that carries itself in DNA. However, not all hair loss is heredity based. In fact, some individuals may experience hair loss, while their parents and close relatives have not. Usually, this means that another factor is causing the hair loss, like high stress or poor nutrition.
When individuals experience hair loss at early ages or in drastic amounts, this generally indicates that these persons are sustaining an agent that is contributing to the hair loss. As aforementioned, along with others, causes of hair loss, especially in premature and/or drastic cases, are heredity, high stress and weakness from overworking, hair dyes and other chemicals, diseases, and so on.
Depending on the reasons for hair loss, there are different methods to attempt to treat this condition; however, it is important to first recognize the cause of hair loss in order to discern which type of treatment to use, if any. For example, if the cause of hair loss is a disease, or treatment for a disease, like in the case of using chemotherapy to treat cancer, then a treatment may not aid in the prevention of hair loss. Yet, if the cause of hair loss is from stress, then attempts may be made to prevent stress and treatment products may be used to repair already damaged hair.
Overall, hair loss, no matter what the cause, is a difficult matter to confront. Knowing the cause of hair loss, however, may contribute to the prevention/treatment of hair loss. Individuals may not have control over why they are losing hair – from heredity to aging – yet they may find the necessary means to attempt to treat the damaged hair. The multiple factors contributing to hair loss make the task of undertaking the treatment of hair loss difficult, but not impossible. Even in the most extreme cases, there is usually a solution for the cause.

The Many and Varied Causes of Hair Loss in a Woman |
|
There can be many different causes for hair loss in a woman. One such cause is stress. About three to four months after you have been ill or undergone major surgery, you could experience the loss of a large amount of hair. This hair loss is caused by the stress of the illness. The hair loss will be temporary, the hair growth returning after a period of time. Other causes can be more difficult to identify and cure. Hormones Hormonal problem can cause hair loss in females. An over- or under-active thyroid gland could be the cause of your hair falling out. If this is the case, treating the thyroid disease can help put a halt to the hair loss. Hair loss could also occur if the female and male hormones known as androgens and estrogens are out of balance. Correcting the hormone imbalance could help you to curb the hair loss. Hair loss in a woman can also happen about three months after you have had a baby. This is a cause of the hormone factor, since during pregnancy these hormones help retain hair which you would normally lose. When the hormones return to normal levels after pregnancy, the hair that wouldn’t fall out now will, as the cycle of hair growth and loss returns to normal. Medications There are certain medications which can also cause hair loss in a woman. This type of hair loss will only improve when you cease taking the medication that is causing the problem. Medications that can be responsible for hair loss in a woman include blood thinners, medicines used for gout, medicines used in chemotherapy, too much vitamin A, birth control pills and antidepressants.
