Reasons Behind Hair Loss
1. Illness
2. Genetics
3. Stress
4. Improper Diet
5. Post-Pregnancy
6. Medicines
Illness
When you're sick, your body uses nutrient reserves within your body. When these reserves end, your body takes nutrients from other parts of your body to maintain
essential functions. Therefore, sick people tend to lose hair since their body is utilizing nutrients for hair growth to combat body illness instead.
Genetics
The genetic code which you inherited from your parents is usually what determines your hair growth, thinning, and loss. You cannot alter your genetic code in any way. In males, hair loss can start at any time after puberty. In females, it starts later in life.
Stress
Emotional and environmental stress plays a major role in hair thinning and loss. Such hair loss usually occurs in patches, and does not resemble normal hair loss.
Improper or Poor Diet
Similarly, if you do not have a balanced diet, your body lacks essential vitamins and nutrients. This has a negative effect on hair growth and can lead to thinning and loss as well.
Post-Pregnancy
Hormonal changes during and after pregnancy often lead to various changes in your hair. Mothers tend to lose more hair shortly after their baby is born. Fortunately, this condition usually resolves itself a few months after childbirth.
Medicines
Many medications can disturb the hormonal balance in your body and cause hair loss. In some cases, the hair may grow back after you stop taking the medication.
Remedial Measures
* Taking a multivitamin each day can supplement the loss of nutrients caused by illness.
* Hair transplantation is a very simple and common method of restoring hair. This is done by transferring portions of hair-growing scalp and replanting them in bald areas to promote growth of hair in those regions.
