If you are wondering about the causes
for losing hair, this article may be for
you. Here you will learn what hairloss
is, some of the common causes of hair
loss, what ways in which this may occur,
and how common it is.
What is hair loss?
It is normal to lose between sixty to one hundred hairs each day
through showering or brushing your hair.
When scalp hairs begin to thin and more
hair is lost through normal shedding
than the scalp is able to recreate,
this is hair
loss, and is something happens to
many people, both men and women, as
they get older in years.
What causes hair loss?
There are a number of factors that
may determine why you are experiencing
hair fall. One of the main factors is
through genetics. Usually, the real
cause of hair loss is hereditary. If
your father experienced hair loss, and
his father experienced the same, chances
are that you could end up experiencing
it as well. Other common reasons that
may be causes of hair loss loss for
you are thyroid problems, childbirth,
a protein or iron deficiency, and cancer
treatments. Certain medications also
may cause thinning hair in men and women.
What ways is hair lost?
There are two ways in which hair is
lost. The first way is patchy hair loss,
in which hair is lost in well defined
and evident areas. The rest of the scalp
will have a good amount of hair which
it does not lose. If you notice certain
areas in which your head appears to
be balding, or your hair seems to be
thinning,
chances are that you are experiencing
patchy hair loss - the cause of which
is generally not pattern baldness or
genetics related. The second way which
in which you hair may be lost is generalized
hair loss. This is when there is a complete
thinning of the entire scalp. There
will be absolutely no areas that appear
to be experiencing normal hair
growth. If your entire head seems
to be losing hair, with no patches of
normal growth, then the causes of hair
loss for you is likely due to generalized
hair loss, caused by a temporary situation.
How common is hair loss?
Unfortunately, it is probably more
common than you think. About two out
of every three men experience complete
pattern
balding as they get older. Since
a major cause of most hair loss is the
attack of hair follicles by DHT over
age, it makes sense that people would
begin losing more hair on average after
the age of 30. An even higher percentage
of men and women experience some type
of hair loss at some point during their
lives. If you feel embarrassed because
you are losing
hair, this is not necessary. There
are more people out there who experience
hair loss than those who do not.
