Healthy What causes hair loss?

Why is my hair falling out?

It can be the result of heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions or a normal part of aging. There are so many things that cause hair loss and it can happen to anyone. 

Here are 10 most common causes of hair loss

1. Genetics / Family History (Heredity)
Hereditary hair loss means hair loss that runs in families. It is most often found in men but also in women. Hereditary hair loss affects your scalp the most, but it can also occur in other parts of your body. Your genes affect how sensitive your scalp is to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which shortens the growth phase of your hair. Your hair follicles also become smaller in response to DHT and you subsequently produce fewer and finer hairs.
2.Hormone Imbalance

Hormone imbalance hair loss can happen to everyone, but it’s more likely to happen to women. Caused by fluctuations in hormones, hair loss hormone imbalance is common during pregnancy and menopause.

3. Childbirth

Postpartum hair loss is normal and temporary. Postpartum change that is unrelated to breastfeeding. Most women will return to their usual hair growth cycle between 6 and 12 months after birth. Many new moms notice hair loss around three months postpartum.

4. Stress

Can hair loss be related to stress? Answer is yes. However, the good thing is that stress-induced hair loss is usually temporary. If your hair loss has been triggered by stress, managing your stress could be the key to returning to a healthy rate of hair growth.

5. Medical Conditions
Thyroid disease, lupus, diabetes, iron deficiency anemia, eating disorders, and anemia can cause hair loss. Most times, when the underlying condition is treated, the hair will return unless there is scarring as in some forms of lupus, lichen planus or follicular disorders.
6. Hairstyle and Treatments
Such as shampooing too often, perms, bleaching, and dyeing hair can contribute to overall hair thinning by making hair weak and brittle. Tight braiding, using rollers or hot curlers, and running hair picks through tight curls can also damage and break hair. However, these procedures don’t cause baldness. In most instances hair grows back normally if the source of the problem is removed. Still, severe damage to the hair or scalp sometimes causes permanent bald patches.
7. Iron Deficiency
It can also be caused by a lack of nutrients. When you don’t have enough iron, your body can’t produce the hemoglobin in your blood. Hemoglobin carries oxygen for the growth and repair of cells in your body, including the cells that stimulate hair growth.
8. Weight Loss
Hair loss after weight loss is usually associated with a condition called Telogen Effluvium. Fluctuation in the Body Mass Index causes physical stress, which signals the hair follicles to move into an inactive stage.
9. Smoking
Smoking can potentially damage your hair follicles and increase your risk of developing hair loss. The researchers found that 425 out of 500 smokers had some degree of hair loss while only 200 of 500 nonsmokers showed signs of hair loss.
10. Drug
Including chemotherapy drugs used in cancer treatment, blood thinners, beta-adrenergic blockers used to control blood pressure, and birth control pills, can cause temporary hair loss.
