Reasons of Hair Loss

Nutritional Deficiency:- 

Poor nutritional intake is a reason behind hair fall. Studies show that the absence of zinc, iron and protein in the food can lead to hair fall. Proper nutrition diet is necessary for maintaining hair growth normal.

MPB:- 

MPB or male pattern baldness is covered 95% of men. The reason behind MPB varies from population to population. MPB is related with the genetic background. MPB is characterized by hair receding from the lateral sides of the forehead (known as a "receding hairline") and a thinning crown (balding to the area known as the ‘vertex’).

Infection:- 

scalp infection can lead to hair fall. It can be a fungal infection.

Drugs:- 

Temporary or permanent hair loss can be caused by several medications, including those for blood pressure problems, diabetes, heart disease and cholesterol. Any drug which affects the hormones balance in the body can lead to hair fall i.e. side effect of the drug.

Trauma:- 

Traumas such as childbirth, major surgery, poisoning, and severe stress may cause a hair loss. Traction alopecia is most commonly found in people with ponytails or cornrows who pull on their hair with excessive force. In addition, rigorous brushing and heat styling, rough scalp massage can damage the cuticle, the hard outer casing of the hair. Chemotherapy treatment also affects hair’s growth phase with the result that almost 90% of hairs fall out soon after chemotherapy starts. Similarly, Radiation to the scalp, as when radiotherapy is applied to the head for the treatment of certain cancers there, can cause baldness of the irradiated areas.

Pregnancy:- 

The hair is actually thicker during pregnancy due to increased circulating oestrogens. After the baby is born, the oestrogen levels fall back to normal pre-pregnancy levels, and the additional hair foliage drops out. A similar situation occurs in women taking the fertility-stimulating drug clomiphene.

Hair treatments to recover hair loss have limited success. They typically work better to prevent further hair loss than to regrow lost hair. It is better to look on your diet and eat nutritional food.
