Top Reasons For Hair Fall You Should Know

Hair loss or hair fall is a major beauty concern faced by almost all of us these days. Surprisingly, men and women who are below the age of 20 are also losing hair.

Losing up to 100 strands of hair is considered as healthy. However, a basic hair care regimen should do the trick for you in not losing more hair strands than that.

If you are losing more than that, there is definitely a need to take an immediate action to stop hair loss. Excessive hair loss leads to baldness.

Therefore, necessary measures have to be taken and one should also know the root cause that is causing excessive hair loss in him/her.

There are many reasons that can lead to hair fall or hair loss. It differs from person to person. No two people can have a similar cause. Once we get to know the cause or reason, the treatment gets easier for it.

Some of the common reasons include dandruff, hair treatments, medications, usage of harsh chemicals, eating junk foods and the list goes on.

Therefore, in this article, we at Boldsky will be listing out some of the reasons for hair loss. Read on to know more about it.

 Heredity

Heredity

Most of the times, hair loss occurs due to heredity. If you have a history of losing hair in your family, then genes are to be blamed. However, with proper hair care regimen and essential diet hair loss can be combated easily.

 Stress

Stress

Stress is another major reason for hair loss. Stress is directly associated with hair loss. Greater the stress, more will be the hair loss. When the stress levels comes down, hair fall also decreases. Consuming stress-fighting and anxiety-fighting foods also helps.

Hairstyling

Hairstyling

Various hairstyling methods such as blow drying, ironing, straightening and smoothening lead to excessive hair loss. They also make the hair dry, brittle and damaged. Therefore, minimising on the use of heat styling could be beneficial in treating hair loss.

 Chemical Treatments

Chemical Treatments

Chemical treatments like hair dyes aggravate the hair loss condition in both men and women. Chemicals and harsh products used in these treatments can make the hair texture rough and dry.

 Hormonal Changes

Hormonal Changes

Hormonal changes in the body can also lead to hair loss and hair fall. Pregnancy and menopause periods also can lead to hair loss. Along with that, thyroid imbalance can also contribute towards hair loss.

Junk Foods

Junk Foods

Junk food is the culprit behind many health disorders such as obesity, high blood pressure and hair fall. Therefore, keep a check on your junk food intake and replace them with fresh fruits and vegetables instead, as they promote hair growth.
