Hair loss occurs when an individual loses more than 100 stand of hair per day. You must determine the cause of hair loss before you can treat it accurately. You will find a wide range of potential causes below:
#1 Heredity
Genetics are a major cause of hair loss. If male pattern hair loss runs in your family then you’re likely to suffer from it also. Hereditary factors cause shrinking follicles, gradual hair loss, and overall thinning in men and women. Usually, most of the people who inherit hair loss begin to see its effects by the age of 50.
#2 Stress
Both physical and mental stress could potentially cause you to have hair loss. If you are suffering from stress caused hair loss then you should find a way to reduce stress or get rid of the cause of your stress as soon as possible. High fever, surgery, or sickness might be the cause of your hair loss.
#3 Improper Hair Care
Having tight braids, hair weaves, and tightly pulled back hair could potentially cause you hair loss problems that appear around the edge of the hairline.
Some flatirons, dyes, and some relaxers might also cause hair loss. It’s common for your hair loss to stop once you’ve fixed the problems with your hair care habits.
#4 Age
Over time, your ability to grow hair will decrease. In old age, hair tends to fall out much easier.
#5 Disease
Certain diseases will cause you to have hair loss. Lupus, cancer, syphilis, and diabetes are conditions that could potentially cause you to have hair loss.
#6 Medications
Hair loss is a fairly common side effect of many different medications. If you suffer from hair loss after taking a particular medication you should consult your doctor immediately. There might be a more serious problem with your overall health that might’ve caused you to lose your hair.
#7 Poor Nutrition
Not getting the proper nutrients is another reason why people lose their hair. If you get your nutrients in absorbable forms and you get enough silica in your diet (for nutrient absorption) then you should be fine.
#8 Hormones
Birth control pills, pregnancy, and menstrual cycles all have an effect on hair loss in women. In men, an increase in testosterone might affect hair loss.
#9 Ringworm
Ringworm is another cause of hair loss, often seen in children.
#10 Trichotillomania
Is a compulsive disorder where people actually pull out their hair. Noticeable hair loss is often the result.

Hi! Ainie and Wendy,my dermatologist told me the same that my hair loss caused by eczema or dandruff and she gave me steroids what will never help because it will only clear the symptoms,so we need to treat it internally,perhaps with avocado,aloe vera,etc. Also o colon cleanse very helpful. But food allergy can cause the same symptoms too,like dandruff and eczema.
Im using grape seed oil mixed with aloe vera and tea tree oil,it cleared my eczema in 1 week fully from my scalp…unfortunately my hair is not growing on the top of my scalp (yet) but im having this battle over 9 years now and im 27.
I swear these doctors know nothing,i needed to force my doctor to do hormone tests for example to see whats going on and send me to a dermatologyst (what was useless again,o well). So i decided i need to do it on my own and help myself,so im reading alot and learning alot and hope one day i can go to the doctor and prove that they r so useless and should educate themselves alot more (of course there r some good ones but they are hard to find). So Wendy for dry scalp i can tell from experience,that greap seed oil and almond oil are very good,massage it on ur head every night before going to sleep and leave it on overnight,wash it off in the morning and repeat this every day until ur scalp gets better!
I am experiencing hair loss For three months already. I loss more than 100 strands a day. I am hesitant to consult a doctor for check-up because I prefer to take some home remedies that are natural and has no side effects. Right now I put on my hair and scalp natural coconut oil and aloe- vera. I’ve noticed that there are plenty of new hair that grows but still my hair loss doesn’t stop and even some/few of my new hair also falls.
9 months ago i undergo ceasarian operation of my first baby. Do you think the hair loss that i have is part of my medical history? What should I do? Please advise..thanks.
HI every one,
I have same problem and am losing my hair day by day, I have tried all types of shampoos and oils ,even then it is continuing hair loss every day 20-30 hairs.
I per my opinion there are two things to be controlled. First one is stomach and live stress less ,Always take foods and fruits full of nutrition like pulses , Dalia ,amla juice, almond , orange juice ,
left the spicy and fried foods ,just to keep stomach clear .massage hair daily with ayurvedic oillike shesha oil ,almond oil thats it. .
I am doing so but there is no effect ,what is the main problem i don’t decide ,
PLEASE SUGGEST GOOD ONE SOLUTION SOON
THANKS
