If only things were that simple! But the fact of the matter is Aunt Henrietta or Cousin Betsy are just as likely to experience hair loss problems. Here are some reasons why most women and men face hair loss problems.
Physical Stress:
When you have a really stressful event, like a car crash or a long-term health problem, it can cause your hair to fall out. In most cases, hair returns to its natural state after the trauma is over – but not always.
Emotional Stress:
The longer it goes on, the more damage it can do to your hair. Try to relax. In the meanwhile, try using an effective and reputed hair care system like Keranique which is designed to repair and restore hair.
Pregnancy:
The chemical balance changes that your body makes while going through pregnancy can cause hair loss. Fortunately, hair quickly reverts to its normal state after the baby is born.
Too Much Vitamin A:
Since when did consuming vitamins become bad? When you over do them. By reducing Vitamin A (back to the doctor recommended amount), hair should return to its normal state.
Lack of Protein:
If you’re not getting enough protein in your system, you hair will let you know! Easily remedied by consuming more protein rich foods like eggs, fish, and meat.
Heredity:
Not much you can do about that. You can turn the tables on those genes you inherited by using special hair treatment formulas (such as those made by Keranique). It helps a lot!
Anemia:
If you’re losing your hair, ask your doctor to do a blood test to check and see if you have anemia. If you do, a change of diet or a prescription may do the trick.
Dramatic Weight Loss:
Too much, too fast! Talk about upsetting your body’s chemistry and making things go haywire! Stay away from fad diets. Plan to lose weight over a healthy period of time.
There are a number of other possible causes for female hair loss including the use of antidepressants, blood thinners, birth control pills, chronic diseases, over-styling, using harsh chemicals on your hair and, of course, just simple aging. Best thing to do? Simply do what you can about the things you can manage, and not worry about the rest!
