Hair Loss Causes

The general hair loss causes are numerous like stress, infectious diseases, lack of nutritional supplements, and use of harmful synthetic hair care products and so on. Physicians around the world are attractive a closer look at hair loss causes and thinning and prescribing the hair loss treatments and medications that are more successful in treating the particular hair problems. But not every type of hair loss is subject to treatment as the normal shedding of hair is necessary for the cyclical process of hair re-growth.

Normal hair shedding can be divided under two broad categories. One of the normal hair shedding procedures involves randomly loosing some hair after reaching the theologian phase of the hair growth cycles. According to researchers it is absolutely normal to shed about 100 hairs each day.

The other normal cause of more hair shedding is an increase in age. It is quite normal to loose more and more hair with increasing age, but when some men and women start loosing hair at an early age it is a sure sign of concern. The cause of such premature hair loss is attributed to pattern baldness or Androgen tic Alopecia.

Though the pattern baldness or Androgen tic hair loss is more evident in men due to more hair loss in frontal hair line, women are prone to pattern hair loss that is manifested by thinning all over the scalp. Though the numbers of men and women suffering from pattern hair loss is different, the mechanism of premature hair loss or pattern baldness is similar.
