Hair loss can strike for a variety of reasons. For men, genetics and the male sex hormone, testosterone are often to blame. For women, genetics, pregnancy and cancer may be to blame. Additionally, nutritional deficiencies, medications and mental and physical stress can be the culprit for hair loss, too. Here’s a look into the top reasons for hair loss and what you can do to correct it.
Physical and Mental Stress
Surgery, a car accident, severe illnesses, anything that causes trauma to the body can trigger hair loss. Hair growth happens on a natural cycle. Hair grows to a certain point and then sheds as new hair begins to grow. A physical trauma can accelerate the shedding phase of the hair’s cycle causing noticeable amounts to fall out. This then can be further exacerbated by mental stress associated with hair loss.
Dietary Concerns
Too much Vitamin A is known to temporarily cause hair loss, but a lack of protein can be just as risky to hair growth. When the body doesn’t get enough protein it shuts down bodily functions that aren’t necessary to survival— like hair growth, so that the body has energy where it’s needed most.
Genetics
Most commonly the cause for what is known as male-pattern hair loss, genetics play a big role in hair loss. Unfortunately, there isn’t anything you can do about your genetic make up, however you can consult hair replacement systems such as EHK, a hair loss solution designed specifically for men suffering from male-pattern baldness. The best part is that it’s virtually pain-free, affordable and produces natural results. So natural in fact, you can wash, brush and tug on it just as you would your own natural hair!
Medical Problems
Some chronic illnesses and conditions such as anemia, hypothyroidism, auto-immune diseases, Lupus and even dramatic weight loss (possibly associated with gastric bypass surgery) are known to contribute to premature hair loss in many individuals. In addition to medical diseases and conditions, oftentimes the medications used to treat such medical issues are directly related to hair loss, too. Many are familiar with chemotherapy treatments used to eradicate cancer, however, it often results in hair loss in a majority of the individuals who undergo this treatment.
