Both men and women have the potential to lose their hair. This is fortunate for those of us who will not have to experience hair loss. The less fortunate people will lose their hair. There are several reasons that hair loss occurs. Many of them are key factors that contribute to hair loss that may be prevented.
Hair growth and hair loss may be effected by stressful events in one's life. Large portions of hair may be falling out with extended or deep stress issues. The body is unable to accept all of the nutrients as efficiently as it would without stress. Fluctuations in hormones from stress related issues may cause hair loss in some places and unsightly hair growth in others. Managing your stress issues and exercising regularly may help you to reduce stress. Both will allow you to halt hair loss and possibly experience hair re-growth.
Having large amounts of junk foods such as cookies, donuts, burgers, chips and other unhealthy choices in your diet will make you feel ill and may cause hair loss. Your hair becomes dull and brittle, and sometimes even greasy feeling when you introduce poor nutrient food choices into your diet. Your hair may be losing out on growing healthy by lack of vitamins. You can get back on track, maybe even reversing the effects of poor diet on your hair by taking a daily multi-vitamin with healthy diet choices.
Many medications can cause hair loss. If you experience sudden hair loss, check any medications for side effects that are associated with your medication. Ask your doctor for other alternatives you can take before completely stopping a medication regimen.
Your hair loss problems may have been inherited from your genetic lineage. Parents or grandparents, maybe even distant relatives might have had a genetic hair loss problem. The mother's side of the family has the most dominant traits for hair loss. Many living and age related factors may be in effect. Doctors can prescribe medications that can help your hair re-grow.
Hair Spray? Check. Flat Ironed hair? Check. Women, and men alike both follow the trends of using hair sprays, gels, ironing, blow drying, and many other chemical and heat processes that can damage the hair shaft and cause your hair to literally fall out in clumps. This is saddening for those that care about their hair. The best thing you can do to prevent even more hair loss is give your locks a deep conditioning treatment, get it cut, and start over without dying or using chemicals. Other environmental factors such as air quality, sunlight, UV rays, and your job all play a roll in hair loss.
