What Can Cause Hair Loss?

Hair loss in either men or women can be caused by a range of different things. These include environmental factors such as exposure to harsh ultra violet light (including sunlight), chemicals, illness or physical trauma to the hair or scalp!.

More often, hair loss is caused by changes in hormone levels, brought on by aging, stress, pregnancy or breastfeeding. The major hormone responsible for hair loss is a testosterone and this is why men tend to be more likely to suffer from balding than women.

It can actually affect men as early as in their twenties which needless to say can be very distressing and embarrassing for a young man to endure.

Most men are constantly on the lookout for new and effective hair regrowth formulas, often with minimal results until they find the one that works for them.

Hormone levels are to some degree genetically pre-determined, so the chance of you suffering from early hair loss will be greatly increased if you have parents or grandparents who were also affected, especially if they were on your mother’s side of the family.

However even with a genetic link, the pattern of hair loss as well as age of onset can be difficult to predict and can vary significantly between individuals.

Other causes of hair loss to be considered are excessive shampooing and blow-drying or the overuse of chemical colorants or perming solutions.

Especially over a period of time, this can cause both hair loss and slowed growth, so especially for people who have a high probability of hereditary hair loss, care should be taken to ensure that this process is not worsened by misuse of hair products.

Similarly men and women who work in a high stress environment, or who are undergoing chemotherapy (even low-dose) should take care to minimise the chance of hair loss by careful selection and use of products designed to foster hair growth.
