Anyone knows what are the causes and prevention of hair loss?

Excellent answer to xxiangel.





There are 6 reasons for hairloss/thinning. The problem of thinning hair may be caused by a genetic predisposition that comes from a family history of thinning hair. Health problems such as Hyperthyroid or Hypothyroid conditions; medications such as chemotherapy, any hormone replacement medications including birth control pills are culprits often overlooked. Thinning hair can also be attributed to stress and trauma that can cause constriction of blood supply and poor vitamin assimilation to the scalp and hair. Or, simply from poor nutrition and diet that can include a high consumption of animal fat, high protein and fad diets. Even external environmental toxins and pollutants, such as chlorine, metals, minerals and water pollution cannot be ignored. All these factors can be causing the increased number of hairs in your brush.





Nioxin is a product line that offers a complete, natural hair care system that addresses the appearance of thinning hair. I've seen it do some amazing things for my clients! The trick is to go to a salon that has had training in it, and knows how to properly diagnose your situation and what correct products you would need. That will determine a lot of your results!Anyone knows what are the causes and prevention of hair loss?
most hair loss is genetic. if you really want to try something there is a shampoo called noxium that some friends of mine and my dad use. its worth a shot.Anyone knows what are the causes and prevention of hair loss?
If the men on the woman's side of the family experienced baldness, it is supposed to be almost certain that her sons will as well. Hopefully in the future they will invent better prevention methods... I don't really know of any currently though.
genetics and certain scalp related diseases. try rogaine or other hair shampoos that prevent and halt hair loss
because u were stressed out..thinks too much is not good,to prevent,then u go to holiday..
heredity. Nothing you can do so don't worry about it.
bad eating habits.. you should eat a balanced diet
take care by oil and shampoo n dont keep ur hair open for a long time
Lots! Heridity. Poor diet. Hormonal Imbalance. Stress. Poor maintenance... the list goes on. eat lots of iron and other nutrients. Oil your hair at least twice a week and use a safe shampoo. check your thyroid hormone levels and testostrone count. and heridity matters too. Last but not the least if your hair is still thining just accept that you look good anyways!!!
Stress is a big one. There's also your hormone level, or your thyroid. It could also be in your family history of hair loss. You might want to get your blood checked and talk to your doctor about it. or try rowgain (I don't think that's how you spell it though sorry) It's normal for a person to lose about 100 strands of hair a day also.
think its just herditary!!
Sometimes it's just genetic ... but physiological conditions can cause hair loss
A number of things can cause excessive hair loss. For example, about 3 or 4 months after an illness or a major surgery, you may suddenly lose a large amount of hair. This hair loss is related to the stress of the illness and is temporary.





Hormonal problems may cause hair loss. If your thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped by treatment of the thyroid disease. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. Correcting the hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss.





Many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they've had a baby. This loss is also related to hormones. During pregnancy, high levels of certain hormones cause the body to keep hair that would normally fall out. When the hormones return to pre-pregnancy levels, that hair falls out and the normal cycle of growth and loss starts again.





Some medicines can cause hair loss. This type of hair loss improves when you stop taking the medicine. Medicines that can cause hair loss include blood thinners (also called anticoagulants), medicines used for gout, medicines used in chemotherapy to treat cancer, vitamin A (if too much is taken), birth control pills and antidepressants.





Certain infections can cause hair loss. Fungal infections of the scalp can cause hair loss in children. The infection is easily treated with antifungal medicines.





Finally, hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes. Since hair loss may be an early sign of a disease, it is important to find the cause so that it can be treated.





Can my doctor do something to stop hair loss?


Perhaps. Your doctor will probably ask you some questions about your diet, any medicines you're taking, whether you've had a recent illness and how you take care of your hair. If you're a woman, your doctor may ask questions about your menstrual cycle, pregnancies and menopause. Your doctor may want to do a physical exam to look for other causes of hair loss. Finally, blood tests or a biopsy (taking a small sample of cells to examine under a microscope) of your scalp may be needed.








Is there any treatment for hair loss?


Depending on your type of hair loss, treatments are available. If a medicine is causing your hair loss, your doctor may be able to prescribe a different medicine. Recognizing and treating an infection may help stop the hair loss. Correcting a hormone imbalance may prevent further hair loss.





Medicines may help slow or prevent the development of common baldness. One medicine, minoxidil (brand name: Rogaine), is available without a prescription. It is applied to the scalp. Both men and women can use it. Another medicine, finasteride (brand name: Propecia) is available with a prescription. It comes in pills and is only for men. It may take up to 6 months before you can tell if one of these medicines is working.





If adequate treatment is not available for your type of hair loss, you may consider trying different hairstyles or wigs, hairpieces, hair weaves or artificial hair replacement.
Causes are genetics, health, and medication. Prevention would be specific for each cause. For genetics, nothing (Rogaine will slow it down, not stop it.) For health, eat properly, get enough rest, exercise, and drink plenty of water. Medication, I guess if you dont want the hair loss, dont take the medication. Chemotherapy causes hair loss, would you choose to keep your hair over chemo?
Minoxidil and finasteride are the olnly proven treatments that have been proven to increase hair growth are are approved for that purpose. Under normal circumstaces we all will all loose some hair every day. But loosing more is considerd a abnormal medical condition. There are many kinds of hair loss and there are many treatments that you could use. Minozidil is applied to the surface of the body twice a day and has been proven to stimulate air growtyh and it is sold over the counter as a non prescripitio drug. It does not have any side effects. Finasteride is an oral prescription tat is for men only. there are also sergical options transplants or hair plugs. I can also recomend wigs toupees hair weaving and hair extensions.


I would recomend that you see a medical profesional about your hair loss if its something that seems severe. And to let every one know that genetics have nothing to do with baldness there are studies showing that to this day.
If your mother or father had thin hair, chances are you will have that too, or hair loss. Also, check to see if you are taking certain medications that have a tendency to thin your hair or cause hair loss. Don't brush or comb too hard in the meantime, and use a good shampoo.
