Hair Loss Cures

Everyone loses  hair
every day. Losing up to 100-150 hairs a day is normal.



But if hair loss runs in your family, you could lose a lot
more hair.



Other factors, such as diseases and medicines, also can
cause you to lose more hair than normal.



Although hair loss is fairly common, it can be a tough thing
to live with, especially when it changes how you look. But there are ways you
can treat your hair loss.



 



Common causes of hair loss include:



 



1.Heredity. In most cases, hair loss is inherited, which
means it’s passed down from one or both of your parents. This is called
male-pattern or female-pattern hair loss.



2.Stress, including physical stress from surgery, illness,
or high fever.



3.Damage to your hair from pulling it back too tightly,
wearing tight braids or ponytails, or using curling irons or dyes.



4.Age, since you grow less hair as you get older. Hair also
gets thinner and tends to break more easily as you age.



5.Poor diet, especially not getting enough protein or iron.



 



Your symptoms will depend on what kind of hair loss you
have.



 



If your hair is thinning, it happens slowly over time, so
you may not notice the hairs falling out. If your hair is shedding, then clumps
of hair fall out. You may lose hair all over your scalp, which is called
general hair loss. Or you may lose hair only in one area, which is called focal
hair loss.



 



With inherited hair loss, men usually get bald spots around
the forehead or on the top of the head, while women have thinning all over the
scalp.



 



When your hair loss is inherited, your hair won't grow back naturally.
Treatment can help some hair grow back and prevent more from falling out, but
you probably won't get all your hair back. And treatment doesn't work for
everyone.



When medicines, stress, or hair damage cause you to lose your hair, it often
will grow back after you take away the cause. If this doesn't help, you may
need other treatment.



If you're unhappy with how hair loss makes you look, treatment may boost
your self-esteem. It’s natural to want to like the way you look.



But keep in mind that treatment, especially medicines and surgery, can have
some side effects and risks. Be sure to discuss your decision with your doctor.



Home treatment for hair includes hair care and hairstyling techniques that
may help you cover thinning or bald spots on the scalp. This may be easier for
women because inherited hair loss, causes a general thinning that is usually
not as severe as it is in men. Hair sprays, dyes, and perms can help make the
hair appear fuller.



In women with inherited hair loss, hair care and the occasional use of
grooming products, hair sprays, hair color, teasing, permanents, or frequent
washing will not increase hair loss. However, if your hair loss is caused by
hair care, then perms and dyes may contribute to more hair loss.
