The Root Factors of Hair Loss
While genetics do play a large role in hair loss, there are many other factors that could be behind your thinning hair. Don’t immediately blame your grandpa for your receding hairline or sudden hair loss, as it may be due to one of the following causes:
- Inadequate nutrition
If your diet lacks a sufficient amount of iron and protein, you might experience premature hair loss. Crash diets, fad diets, illnesses, and eating disorders can all contribute to poor nutrition, and can ultimately lead to unwanted hair loss.
- Medications
Certain prescription drugs can cause hair loss, such as medications used to treat gout, arthritis, depression, high blood pressure, and heart problems. Some women might also experience thinning hair from taking birth control pills.
- Medical treatments
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy both lead to significant hair loss. Hair generally starts to grow back after the treatment is over, but in some cases hair may grow back thinner and flatter than before the treatment.
- Hormonal changes
Any type of hormonal imbalance or sudden change in hormone levels can lead to hair loss. Pregnancy, childbirth, and the discontinuation of birth control pills can cause hair loss in women, although hormonal changes can also lead to temporarily fuller and more luxurious hair.
- Damaging hair treatments
If you regularly subject your hair to harsh chemicals such as those found in hair dye, bleach, or straightening solutions, your hair can become severely damaged and ultimately fall out. Reduce your risk of hair loss by avoiding hair products containing damaging chemicals.
