Hair Loss: Stress just one of the causes of thinning follicles
In a society where tresses are a high focal point of any complete look, thinning hair and hair loss can be a source of fear and anxiety for many.
Dr. Jennifer Smith, a dermatologist at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, said hair loss is most commonly related to recent changes in health such as illness or stress.
“The first thing they should do is look at their past few months of medical history and see if they noticed any changes in their health at all,” Smith said.
Childbirth, new medication and sudden weight loss are all health changes that could cause people to suffer hair loss, according to Dr. Smith.
“The hair loss won’t happen until several months after the fact,” Dr. Smith said, “due to the growth cycle of the hair.”
Aalon Salon owner Tommy Talley has encountered a good number of people suffering from hair loss in the 23 years he’s been styling hair.
“Typically, the first time I see somebody I won’t come right out and say it,” Talley said, “but if they’ve been coming to me I’ll casually bring it up. You know, ‘I notice you’re kind of thinning on top. Is it something that bothers you or are you comfortable with it?’”
From what he’s seen, Talley said men’s hair loss mainly stems from DHT or Dihydrotestosterone.
“What that does is, it builds up in the follicle and starts choking the hair off,” Talley said, “and then it falls out and the next hair that comes in is not quite as thick.”
For women, Talley said the main causes of hair loss have been stress-related.
“With women it can be environment, medication, thyroid problems, and excessive weight loss,” Talley said. “Really, I’d probably say more than anything else, stress is probably the main one.”
Unfortunately, there’s no magic trick to avoid hair loss.
“There’s not really a lot of prevention,” Dr. Smith said. “If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen.”
She said the best thing people can do, as far as prevention goes, is to follow a good diet and take a multi-vitamin with biotin.
However, for those who have already begun to notice thinning of the hair, it can be hard to decide which product might work best.
Put quite simply, products work differently for different people, Dr. Smith said.
“For men, there’s Propecia, which is a pill,” Dr. Smith said. “Women’s treatment is a little more difficult.”
According to Dr. Smith, this is a result of how different hormones interact with hair growth. Treatments that work for men just aren’t as effective for women.
Talley said professional hair products such as Nioxin, Biogenal and Rogaine do work; they just might not work the same for everyone.
“I’ve had clients that have actually used the products,” Talley said, “and I’ve seen definite improvement.”
For those who are suffering from more serious hair loss, there are other options, such as hair transplant surgery, which Dr. Smith said could be successful in the proper patient.
According to the American Hair Loss Association, a hair transplant is performed by harvesting DHT resistant hair from the back of a persons scalp, and then transplanting it into the balding areas.
“They would need to go see a certified hair transplant specialist to decide if hair transplant surgery is right for them,” Dr. Smith said.
The nearest hair transplant surgeon certified by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery is located in Dallas.
Talley said he has had clients who have undergone hair transplant surgery, each with differing results.
“The first guy it didn’t work very well at all and then another one of my clients did it and it worked amazing,” Talley said. “I mean it grew back and it looked healthy and everything.”
Ray Beair, owner of Apollo Hair Center in Lubbock, said Apollo does not do hair transplant surgery but is aimed towards those who have already suffered major hair loss.
“Apollo is more for the people who have already lost a significant amount of hair,” Beair said. “We do more cosmetic answers.”
According to the company’s website, Apollo has various hair-loss solutions, such as Apollo Cosmetic Reconstruction, that is said to restore thinning or balding areas on the head without giving up any existing hair.
Dr. Smith said many people could save a trip to the doctor, however, if they follow a good healthy diet, take control of stressors and stay aware of their medical history.
“Surgery, illnesses, and pregnancies can trigger hair loss,” Dr. Smith said, “that can save them a lot of worry and a trip to the doctor and that will fix itself. It will get better.”
If a person hasn’t experienced any recent health changes, Dr. Smith suggests going to a doctor and getting blood work done to see if the hair loss could be stemming from a more serious issue.
There are tricks for hiding thinning hair such as tucking hair behind the ears or blow-drying it 80 percent before putting any product in it, Talley said, but when it comes to hair loss products; he doesn’t recommend store bought ones.
“It’s hard to recommend anything that’s store bought because all they’re doing is mass producing for the masses,” Talley said. “Professional products go through a more rigorous testing and refining of the products so they’re more expensive because it cost more to make it.”

According to me, Stress, smoking, not eating nutritiously diet and also not doing exercise could be the reason of hair loss. Avoid using hair products with harmful chemicals.
Hair Loss is caused due to the so lots of reasons.Like in the event you have the stress or tensions,Some nutritive deficiency,Insufficient sleep,Some Hormonal changes,Dandruff.So you need to first find out the issue & then go for the treatment & regarding cares.
Hair loss does not mean you have no style options. However, make sure you do nothing to aggravate the situation or you will lose any control hair loss.
There are many artificial treatments that can be undertaken but they are not fool proof and cannot be banked upon. Therefore, other options like drugs medications can be taken such as propecia. You can avail propecia online at suitable prices.
Hair accident may action if macho or changeable hormones, alleged
androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. Correcting the hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss.
There are products on the market that promise to magically improve hair
in an instant, but actually contain dangerous chemicals that damage
hair. Not only are significantly useless and dangerous

The helmet will only make your hair fall out, if it
is so strong that cuts off circulation to the scalp. Not sure if it
could cause pain in the neck, but, perhaps, if it is heavy and is
carried by a prolonged period.
Hormonal problems may cause hair loss. If your thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped by treatment thyroid disease. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. Correcting the hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss.
Many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they've had a baby. This loss is also related to hormones. During pregnancy, high levels of certain hormones cause the body to keep hair that would normally fall out. When the hormones return to pre-pregnancy levels, that hair falls out and the normal cycle of growth and loss starts again.
Some medicines can cause hair loss. This type of hair loss improves when you stop taking the medicine. Medicines that can cause hair loss include blood thinners (also called anticoagulants), medicines used for gout, high blood pressure or heart problems, vitamin A (if too much is taken), birth control pills and antidepressants.
Certain infections can cause hair loss. Fungal infections of the scalp can cause hair loss in children. The infection is easily treated with antifungal medicines.
Finally, hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes. Since hair loss may be an early sign of a disease, it is important to find the cause so that it can be treated.

Oral medications such as Propecia and Rogaine are available to treat hair loss. Propecia has some side effects, such as defective from birth, and therefore is not recommended for women. Currently, this drug is recommended only for men.
There are lots of cause of hair loss. It is due to cosmetics is usually the result of improper use of treatment chemicals, the hair is delicate and needs good care, hair damage consistent and natural is the way we use our hair after bath hair try not to use the comb directly, even if you use conditioner and anti-tangle potions.

The main cause of hair loss is lack of vitamins and mineral. To prevent these problem always eat healthy and nutritious food diet. Take sufficient sleep and massage your hair with coconut oil daily. Avoid taking stress.
Hormonal problems may cause hair loss. If your thyroid gland is overactive or deficient, your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped by treatment thyroid disease. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, called androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. Correcting the hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss.

Hair loss is mainly because of eating unhealthy food, using harmful hair products, taking so much tension and makor reason of genetic history and changing hormones in teen age.

There are many things that can causes the problem of hair loss. There are also some medicine that cause hair loss,it occurs when you stop taking the medication of medicine. The Hormonal problems may cause hair loss. Correcting the hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss.
The primary reason (not specific cause) for hair loss is definitely heredity. Sure, hair loss can result from a variety of issues related to your health and environment as well, but those issues only account for a very small percentage of cases. Using chemical based products can and often does damage hair, but it in no way causes hair loss.
