Article for causes hair loss

You might be surprised to learn that many people are unable to untangle fact from fiction when it comes to hair loss. Some of the blame lies with the many companies and individuals exploiting hair loss myths in order to sell bogus hair products. Other myths may linger because people with hair loss
particularly women
are reluctant to talk about an issue that remains sensitive and sometimes emotional. The timing and pattern of pattern baldness is also different in men and women.

While men tend to start losing hair in the 30s and 40s
hair loss begins in the 40s or 50s in women
though it can occur as early as the 20s. And while men first lose hair in the front and at the top of the head
women’s hair thins diffusely throughout the scalp.

Until recently
women have been reluctant to seek treatment
but hair restoration surgeons say that women make up more and more of their practices. In reality
hair loss is just as common in women as it is in men
though the degree of loss tends to vary by gender. ‘By the age of 50
over 50 percent of men have significant hair loss.’ Dr. McAndrews says.

‘For women
about 25 percent have significant hair loss by the age of 50
though it may be less apparent because women are more conscientious about hiding it than men are.’ For most people
hair loss is a result of a genetic predisposition. For some
however
hair loss may result from a condition called telogen effluvium. Telogen effluvium is a condition where a lot of hair may fall out in a relatively short period of time.

The most common causes are childbirth
high fever
severe illness and even high stress. In most cases this type of hair loss is temporary. Other common causes are like inadequate protein or iron in your diet
or poor nourishment caused by fad diets or an eating disorder. Chemicals used for dying
bleaching
straightening or perming hair as well as excessive hairstyling or hairstyles that pull your hair too tight can also cause gradual hair loss.
