-the 7 H's of hair loss-
Hereditary
The most common cause of hair loss is genetic. This can be inherited from either side of the family and effects both men and women. It is a progressive condition caused by genetic disposition and the hormone DHT, which causes the hair follicles to shrink and reduce over time.
Hormones
Hormonal changes from life events such as pregnancy, menopause or conditions such as PCOS can significantly impact hair growth. Estrogen and progesterone are crucial for hair growth, a sudden drop in these hormones can trigger significant shedding as the hair follicles enter the resting phase all at once.
health
Your hair is a barometer for your overall body health. Underlying health issues, autoimmune diseases, or even sudden illness can trigger excessive hair shedding. Certain autoimmune conditions cause the body to attack healthy tissues, including hair follicles. This can include alopecia areata, lupus, and thyroid disorders.
Hassle
Acute or chronic stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle and cause temporary hair loss known as telogen effluvium. This happens when a significant shock to the body or mind forces a large number of haiprematurelyrs to enter the resting phase. This can be caused by events such as: sudden, drastic wight loss, childbirth, severe illness or high fever, major surgery and emotional trauma or psychological stress.
hunger
A lack of essential vitamins, nutrients and protein in your diet can starve your hair follicles, leading to shedding and thinning. Hair follicles are highly active and require a steady supply of nutrients; a lack of these nutrients can lead to hair thinning or shedding: iron, zinc, biotin, vitamin D and protein.
Healing
Certain medications, including those for high blood pressure, cholesterol, anti depressants or chemotherapy can have hair loss as a side effect. These medications can cause the hair to shed and go into the resting phase as well abruptly halting the diversion of hair cells which are responsible for hair reproduction.
Hairdressing
Over styling, tight hairstyles, harsh chemical treatments, and over exposing the hair to heat can lead to breakage, hair shedding, and an appearance of thinning strands.
