Why Hair Fall?

Nobody likes to witness the sight of his/her hair fall and yet everyone has to face this harsh truth at some point of their lives. The reasons for hair fall are different for different people. It is quite understandable to see hair fall and damage in people who fail to take care of their hair but what baffles many others is that despite following a proper hair-care regimen, they have to face problems of hair fall. Not many persons are able to find exact cause of this issue. There are specific reasons but some common reasons as well.

One of the common reasons for hair fall is hair products. Not every hair product is suitable for everyone. The chemicals present in the product (shampoo, gel, conditioner, oil etc) may not suit your scalp skin and that causes hair fall. The solution is to check other hair care products that do not have heavy chemicals like herbal hair products. Most of the herbal products tend to suit one’s hair.

Diet is also a major cause of hair damage. If your diet does not have enough nutrition value it can cause severe hair fall. In order to have strong and healthy hair, you must take proper diet full of vitamins, calcium and protein.

You are bound to face hair loss if you do not believe in taking proper care of your hair. Hair care includes, oiling your hair on a regular basis, and usage of shampoo and conditioner. Don’t apply comb on wet hair. Some of the other reasons for hair loss include pollution, stress, lifestyle related problems, ageing process, hormonal imbalance, beauty treatment, medication and drugs and diseases etc.

This can happen in both male and female cases. To treat this condition, one needs to go through available therapies like glucocorticoids, topical immunotherapy, anthralin etc. in some cases taking help of these therapies can restore the hair growing mechanism but achieving the peak level of hair growth will still be difficult.

Another reason could be taking place of andogenetic. It refers to thinning of head scalp. Hormonal imbalance could be one of reason behind this phenomenon. Pregnancy, birth control pills etc cause hormonal imbalance and that may further lead to hair thinning. One of the very common reasons is dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
