Hair loss causes

The fairly common hair loss causes are listed below.

  • Telogen effluvium: It is a temporary hair loss of up to a third of a person’s hair due to an insult to the body. It usually manifests two or four months after the incident. Common causes are crash diets, exam stress, big operations and pregnancy. It starts normalising after three to six months and after a year it’s almost always back to normal.
  • Nutritional disorders: The most common nutritional problems associated with alopecia are iron and zinc deficiency. In practice, these are probably the only ones causing alopecia.Hair loss is witnessed in people who consistently take in too much selenium. Taking too much of vitamins, nutrients, microelements etc. will do no good.
  • Chemotherapy: It is widely associated with hair loss, but this is a reversible hair loss in almost all cases.Hair loss canhappen during radiation therapy for cancer treatment. Radiation therapy harms cells that grow quickly such as those in the hair roots.
  • Birth control pills: Birth control pills mess with your hormone levels, causing them to fluctuate. In response, you might experience hair loss. Hormones can interrupt the natural pattern of the hair cycle, causing hairs to shed more quickly than usual.
  • Mental stress: Being stressed affects even your hair strands. Stress affects hormonal levels, specifically cortisol, which then causes hair loss.
  • Underlying illness: Periods of prolonged or severe illness can affect the hair. Diseases like diabetes and lupus can also cause hair loss.
  • Smoking: Nicotine (tobacco) negatively influences the micro-circulation of the scalp, leading to increased hair loss.
  • Dandruff: Dandruff is inflamed, flaky skin on the scalp, which hinders proper circulation and nutrition to the hair, thereby causing increased hair loss.
  • Medications: Drugs used in the treatment of gout, depression, arthritis, high blood pressure and heart problems can lead to increased hair loss.
  • Genetics: Hereditary hair loss is one of the most common hair loss causes. Male pattern baldness is the most common form of alopecia and is of genetic predetermination. If there is baldness anywhere in your family (on either on your mother or father's side), you will probably become bald too.
