While Androgenetic Alopecia is the number one reason why individuals experience hair loss
it is not the only one. Medical conditions such as hypothyroidism
ringworm and fungal infections can cause hair loss. Certain medications such as blood thinners
gout medication
birth control pills and too much vitamin A can cause sudden or abnormal hair loss as can following a crash diet
sudden hormonal changes
chemotherapy and radiation. If you are taking prescription medications
talk to your doctor and find out if your medication is contributing to your hair loss.

At any given time 10% of our hair is in what is called a "resting phase" and after 2-3 months resting
hair falls out and new hair grows in its place. Some people
however
experience more hair loss than is normal.

Over here are some excellent resources on how to prevent further hair loss:

Avoid mega-doses of vitamin A. Too much vitamin A can cause your hair to fall out.

Exercise
do yoga
meditate or find some other practice that will help to reduce your anxiety and stress levels. If you wear pigtails
cornrows
use a curling iron
hair dryer or hot rollers
try changing your hair style to one that puts less pressure and stress on your hair and scalp.

If hot oil treatments or chemicals such as those used in permanents are causing inflammation to the scalp
discontinue their use
or reduce the number of times you are using them.

Use gentle shampoos and conditioners to avoid any unnecessary damage to your hair.

In men
herbs such as saw palmetto and licorice root help block the formation of DHT. The same holds true for supplementation with zinc. As an added benefit
studies show that these supplements can also help prevent prostate enlargement.

Massage your scalp with rosemary oil in an olive oil base. Both rosemary oil and massaging the scalp can stimulate the circulation in the scalp and promote hair growth. Again
if you are experiencing hair loss
check with your doctor to ensure that a more serious disorder isn't the cause.
