What Causes Hair Loss?
Heredity
It’s common to lose hair as you age and your family history is an indicator. Androgenic alopecia is commonly referred to as balding. Hair loss of this nature starts slowly and gradually through the thinning of the hair. A receding hairline and bald spots typically appear first.
Nutrition
Your diet affects hair growth. A poor diet can cause hair loss.
Medications & Supplements
Hair loss can be a side effect of certain drugs. Medications used for cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, gout, and high blood pressure may cause hair loss.
Stress
A sudden, stressful event or emotional shock may cause hair loss. This condition is usually temporary.
Hormones & Medical Conditions
Permanent or temporary hair loss occurs from shifting conditions within the body. Hormonal changes from pregnancy, childbirth, or menopause often affect hair growth. Thyroid problems, immune disorders, scalp infections, and hair-pulling disorders may also prompt hair loss.
Hairstyles & Treatments
Frequent hairstyling and tight hairstyles can lead to hair loss. Oil hair treatments and perms also cause hair to fall out.
