Loosing hair is stressful and emotional to a lot of people. The key is to remain calm and figure out why it is happening. There are a number of different things which can lead to hair loss; recent surgeries, illnesses or medications, improper hair care, and diet. We will take you through the different causes of hair loss, and examine the most common factors that lead to it.

Surgery or Major Illness

If you have recently had surgery or recovered from a major illness, the hair loss associated with it is probably due to stress and thus a temporary condition. As your body resumes its normal state, stress levels will even out and hair growth will return to normal states.

Hormone imbalances

Hormone imbalances from pregnancy or thyroid conditions may also cause hair loss. Androgens and estrogens can become out of balance with a thyroid condition unchecked. Usually, normalizing hormones with thyroid medication will stop the loss. Many pregnant women notice hormone-related loss during and shortly after their pregnancy. As time goes on, and hormones return to normal levels, the loss will stop and normal hair growth cycles will resume.

Medication

Certain medications may cause hair loss, such as anticoagulants, chemotherapy, antidepressants, birth control pills, vitamin A, and treatments for gout. Other drugs that cause concern include steroids, arthritis medication, ulcer and Parkinson’s treatments, as well as cholesterol-lowering and beta blocking drugs. If the medication is stopped, the hair loss should follow suit. However, if you are on one of these medications for an extended period of time or indefinitely for a chronic condition, you may want to consider a regrowth treatment like Regaine.

Fungal infections

Fungal infections, lupus, and diabetes may all be underlying causes of hair loss also. If your hair loss is a new problem, it may be an indication of a disease, so it’s important to talk to your doctor about your symptom.

Improper Hair Care

Improper hair care that requires extremely tight styling processes like cornrows and hair rollers can cause traction alopecia. This means that the pulling of the hair makes it fall out, and can scar the scalp and follicle. After scarring develops, the hair will not grow back.

Diet and malnutrition

Diet and malnutrition, or environmental exposure to pesticides or heavy metals, may also contribute to your hair loss. If you believe this may be the case, talk to your doctor about any diet changes or nutritional supplements you may need. If your hair loss may be caused by a prescription medication, your doctor may be able to change the prescription. Diagnosing and treating underlying conditions and infections may also reverse the process.

Unique Gene Combinations

Of course, it goes without saying that your thinning hair could be contributed to your unique gene combinations. If it is a condition you’ve inherited, there’s nothing your doctor can do to help. Genetic hair loss can typically be helped and slowed down with minoxidil-containing medicines. To aid the speed of your recovery from permanent or temporary hair loss from any condition, you can seek out Regaine as an over-the-counter application to stimulate your follicles, stop hair loss and promote regrowth. It may be used for men or women, and is easily applied to the scalp on a daily basis.

What ever the cause, hair loss can be a difficult and emotional time for anyone. We will continue to update this site with ways of dealing with your hair loss.
