5 Surprising that may be the Cause for Your Hair Loss

Suffering from hair loss? If yes, don't panic, you are not the only one. Hair loss is a common skin concern which affects almost 80% of individuals. People usually blame their genes for hair loss. 

However, there are several other reasons which may lead to your hair falling out

Below are 4 surprising

causes for hair loss which we usually ignore:

Every hair loss may not happen due to loss of the entire strand of hair. Some hair loss scenarios may actually result from hair breakage also. This may happen due to excessive hair styling and indirect heating. Hair appliances like blow dryers, flat straightening irons, curling irons, and other hair styling devices can cause the most damage to hair leaving the hair brittle and weak.

Are you having medicines? Yes, certain prescription drugs can also be a cause for hair loss. Medications related to blood thinners, vitamin supplements, some arthritis medications, antidepressants, gout medications, medications for certain heart problems, blood pressure medications, and birth control pills can be responsible for hair loss.

Have you just entered your teens? If yes, you may experience major bodily changes and one of them can be hair loss. Hormonal changes happen during teens, menopause, pregnancy, etc. Hormonal changes usually tamper with the levels of estrogen and testosterone. Alternation in the levels of these hormones can be a major cause of hair loss.

Physical and emotional stress can cause hair loss. The stress can be due to any recent circumstances in life or the daily grinding stress of life and work.  Stress induces significant hormonal changes that are responsible for the hair loss. Stress often leads to nervous habits like rubbing the scalp vigorously, twisting or pulling the hair, and these habits may also be responsible for hair loss.  Few people also are habituated to excessive hair-pulling and this is a form of impulse-control disorder. This condition is medically referred to as trichotillomania.

Everyone suffers hair loss and the cause can vary for every other individual. Hence, the condition requires a detailed evaluation by a dermato-trichologist and thereafter goes with the best possible treatment.
