Causes Of Hair Loss

 

Although the causes of hair loss are not the same for everyone, some common causes increase the level of hair loss.

1. Natural causes: 90% of the hair on our head is long or curly and the remaining 10% is at rest. These hairs basically fall out. If hair falls out due to this natural reason, new hair grows there. According to experts, it is normal to lose 100 to 150 hairs every day.


2. Nutritional reasons: The health of the hair depends on the nutrition and vitamins of the body. Eating too much sugar or fatty foods and processed foods can cause hair loss due to deficiency of any one of the ingredients. Therefore, protein, vitamins, meat, sugars, minerals should be added to the daily food list.

3. Due to hormones: Androgenic hormones are one of the major causes of hair loss in men and women. As the amount of this hormone increases, more hair falls out. In addition, low or high levels of thyroid hormone can cause hair loss. This problem is more common during pregnancy and after childbirth.

4. Use of shampoo in hair care: One of the reasons for hair loss is not using proper products. Frequent shampoo or oil changes can also cause hair loss. That's why it's important to know the ingredients before buying oils and shampoos. If necessary, appropriate shampoo or conditioner should be used with the advice of a doctor.

5. Giving extra heat to the hair : Drying the hair with a hair dryer makes the hair brittle. Therefore keep the cooling switch on while using the hair dresser. The best way is to dry the hair in the air of a normal fan. Hair dyeing or chemical use is one of the causes of hair loss.

6. Therapy or drug side effects: Chemotherapy to treat cancer can cause hair loss. However, new hair grows three to four months after the last dose of therapy. Hair loss can also be caused by side effects of certain medications. It can also be caused by anti-biotics after major surgery. Therefore, taking a long rest and increasing the level of protein in the diet can solve the problem. In addition, anemia, typhoid, jaundice, malaria, diabetes, etc., even after hair loss.

7. Combing : Combing the scalp can also be one of the causes of hair loss. The dirt in the comb increases the germs and bacteria. This causes itching, infection and fungus on the scalp. This creates the possibility of hair loss. For this, regular cleaning of the comb should be done by mixing vinegar in hot water and soaking it for 20 minutes. After that, if you wash it in cheese with love, the comb will be free from bacteria and germs. Combing wet hair also increases hair fall rate.

8. Fungal infections: Dandruff due to fungal infections increases the rate of hair loss. In that case, using anti-fungal shampoo can solve the problem of dandruff.
