Common Causes of Hair Loss


Losing hair is normal. According to WedMD, a person can lose up to 50-100 strands daily. However, if you start noticing your hair thinning on your temples and crown, you may be losing more hair than normal.

Hair loss is caused by many factors we face, are exposed to, or are born with.  The following categories are the main components of hair loss in men and women.

v  Hereditary- Hereditary hair loss is common within individuals who have a family history of hair loss. One of the most common types of hereditary hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, commonly known male or female pattern baldness.

v  Medical Conditions- Medical conditions like thyroid disorders, polycystic ovarian syndrome and even pregnancies can cause hair loss. Usually with most medical conditions there is an imbalance of hormones which causes your body to react.
§  For most women experiencing hormonal imbalances, the body over produces testosterone, the male androgen hormone responsible for facial and body hair. Too much testosterone in the body cause the hormone to convert to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks the hair follicles and stops them from growing.

v  Hair Essentials- Hair essentials like the products we use or the hairstyles we try can cause hair loss.
§  Simple products like the shampoos or conditioners can be highly concentrated with sulfate, a chemical that can dry and damage hair follicles. Most hair products don’t contain the valuable vitamins and minerals necessary for hair growth.
§  Hair styles are also a big contributor to hair loss, especially if they’re styled tight. Traction alopecia or the pulling of hair is common with tight hairstyles such as pony tails and braids.
