Hair loss has many causes. It can affect just your scalp or your entire body, and it can be temporary or permanent. It can be the result of hormonal changes, medical conditions or a normal part of aging. Anyone can lose hair on their head.
Hereditary hair loss
Pulling your hair
Too little biotin, iron, protein or zinc.
Is hair regrowth possible? Yes, if you start taking care of our hair early, before it catches one or other condition.
People typically lose 50 to 100 hairs a day. This usually isn't noticeable because new hair is growing in at the same time. Hair loss occurs when new hair doesn't replace the hair that has fallen out.
Many people put tremendous stress on their hair. Hair dryers, hot curlers, hair dyes, permanents, tight braids, and hair straightening products, and chemical-laden cosmetics may cause dry, brittle, and thinning hair.
To prevent hair damage that may cause hair loss, follow these tips:
Be gentle with your hair. Use a detangler and avoid tugging when brushing and combing, especially when your hair is wet. A wide-toothed comb might help prevent pulling out hair. Avoid harsh treatments such as hot rollers, curling irons, hot-oil treatments and permanents. Limit the tension on hair from styles that use rubber bands, barrettes and braids.
Ask your doctor about medications and supplements you take that might cause hair loss.
Protect your hair from sunlight and other sources of ultraviolet light.
Stop smoking. Some studies show an association between smoking and baldness in men.
If you're being treated with chemotherapy, ask your doctor about a cooling cap. This cap can reduce your risk of losing hair during chemotherapy.
Use a shampoo that’s mild and suited for your hair
