Hair loss happens, and it is pretty much a fact of life for men and women. Not everyone will experience premature hair loss, or even significant hair loss. For those of us that are not as lucky, hair loss is bound to happen. But why does it happen? Several key factors play a role in why you are losing your hair.
One of the main reasons we lose hair is due to stress. Being tired, stressed, under pressure, and having a million things to worry about effects your hair and body drastically. You may notice a spike in testosterone, or a loss of certain hormones. Your body starts to work a bit slower when stressed, and things get out of control internally. As a result, your outer body such as your hair, begins to lose nutrients and proteins that it needs. You can prevent this by doing yoga, running, or any sort of activity.
Cookies, donuts, processed sugar, trans fat, saturated fat, and other food ingredients can all play a huge role in your hair loss. If you have been continuously eating a terrible diet of McDonalds and junk, your hair will become dull and brittle. Your body doesn't get enough vitamins, and it can be that simple. Take a multi-vitamin and eat a lot of fresh foods to prevent this from happening. If you are already on the wrong track, get back on the right one to reverse that problem.
If you were recently prescribed a medication of some sort and started experiencing hair loss, go to your doctor, or read the side effects lists. Many medicines cause hair to fall out, and it will stop shortly after you discontinue the medicine.
Genetics is also a major key ingredient in hair loss. If someone on your mothers side, female especially, has hair loss, you might have it too. However the gene could have skipped you altogether. Regardless, your genetics cannot be changed. If you have hair loss due to your family history then medications and hair loss products can help.
The environment is also a major playing card in your hair loss pattern. If you are in the sun more than what is recommended, you might see your hair falling out. If you live in a polluted city, or with smokers, you might notice poor hair quality and hair loss. It is important to keep your insides healthy as well as the things outside of your body and around you.
