Anyone who is suffering from hair loss is always worried about the causes and hair loss reasons. He always finds out ways for preventing the condition from worsening. There are rare cases wherein hair loss occurs due to health problems. However, this reason is very rare. Sometimes Diabetes is the reason for hair loss.
However, there are several less dangerous reasons due to which hair loss may occur at some point in life. Listed below are some common reasons:
Stress
Stress is the main reason that causes temporary hair loss in women as well as men. If the amount of stress is high, the ability of the body for growing the hair is altered. This results in falling out or thinning of hair. Sometimes when stress occurs in high amounts, people especially women tend to pull out their hair. This psychological disorder is called trichtillomania. However, when the stress is reduced, the lost hair comes back.
Nutrition
If the right foods are not eaten, one can suffer from hair thinning and this results into hair loss ultimately. However, this is uncommon and it might be possible that the right amount of vitamins and nutrients are not absorbed by the body for growing the hair correctly. As a result, one starts losing hair. But if right nutrition is obtained, the problem can be solved very quickly.
Age
Age is also one of the common hair loss reasons. Age also contributes to hair loss. However, it is not as much as the weakened hair which fall out. When one gets older, it is common that most of the body parts do not work very efficiently. The process for growing hair is not different. Androgenetic alopecia is also caused as one gets older. This is mainly due to excess levels of DHT in the scalp. Due to these, the hair follicles are struck.
DHT
This is also a very common reason for hair loss. This needs to be treated surely before it worsens and becomes permanent. This is a hormone which the body overproduces. This can contribute a lot to hair loss and can become permanent. It mainly affects the men with genetic predisposition to hair loss. This is mainly due to DHT. Over 60 percent of the males in America are affected by DHT according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
Thus one must know the hair loss reasons very well.
