Top 5 Causes of Hair Loss
I know we all wish there was a magic pill to make thinning hair regrow. Baldness can be an embarassing situation that is affecting men, women, and teens alike. In the following short article, I will lay out the top five causes for thinning hair. With this knowledge, you may be able to avoid or slow the process.
1. Stress is a huge reason for thinning hair. This can be your run of the mill stress from work/kids/school etc. It can also be stress from odd life situations. Long illnesses, surgery, and sudden life changes are a few examples. Sudden life changes like buying a home and getting married can cause an underlying stress.
2. Nutritional deficiency can cause your hair to thin. Your body needs the right balance of nutrients in order to keep running like the well oiled machine it is. If you start to neglect your diet you can see the results on your head as well as your waist. Eating pattern changes occur most when you are under stress, so this leads back to the first one.
3. Hormone imbalance is another leading cause. This could be due to sudden body chemistry changes. Pregnancy wreaks havoc on proper hormone balance. Most post pregnant mothers go through a temporary hair loss which corrects itself within a few months. Typically, if hormone imbalance is the cause the hair loss will be temporary.
4. Illnesses can cause tragic amounts of temporary hair loss. This one ties in with a few of the others. An illness can cause an imbalance of hormones which will lead to hair loss. Also, stress/depression can lead to an illness that will cause the lost hair. Any surgery can also cause hair loss due to an underlying bodily stress.
5. Androgenetic Alopecia is the most common cause of hair loss. This huge word is nothing more than the medical term for pattern baldness. This cause is genetic, but the old wives tales of skipping generations, etc don't apply well. Due to the genetics base of this, it is too difficult to tell when, who, and how fast this will take root.
So there you have the top five causes of hair loss. Hopefully, armed with this knowledge, you will be able to complete your research and avoid the situation all together.
