Hair fall is a common hair problem and almost everyone has it. The only difference is some people have less hair fall while some have become bald due to the heavy hair fall. The normal cycle of hair growth lasts for about two to six years. Each hair grows about one centimeter per month. About 90% hair on your scalp grows with this rate at any one time while the remaining 10% are in the resting phase. In two to three months these 10% hair from your scalp start falling and new hair grow at their place. That is why you see hair fall even after you taking very good care of your hair.
Hence the hair fall is a normal part of the hair growth cycle and there is no need to worry about it at all. But in some people the hair fall is excessive and that is what makes them worried. As mentioned earlier hair fall is hair problem that can affect men, women and children. Any major illness or major surgery can be responsible for hair fall. The hair fall may be also due to stress and if it is related to stress then it will not lost longer. Hormone imbalance like overactive or under active thyroid gland can be also the cause of hair fall. Such people can get relief from the hair fall once they get treated for their thyroid disease.
In women the hair fall will be more after they have had a baby. This is also due to change of hormones that happen in every women post delivery. During pregnancy certain hormones are present in female body in high level and these hormones don’t allow the hair to fall as per the normal hair cycle. Once the pregnancy is over then the hormones come back to normal level and the hair falls out. After this the normal cycle of growth and loss of hair continues like it was before pregnancy.
If you are taking any medicines then these medicines also can be responsible for causing hair loss. Once you will stop taking these medicines your hair fall will also reduce to normal. Chemotherapy medicines, birth control pills, antidepressants and consuming increased amount of vitamin A tablets are all responsible for causing hair fall. If any infection happens to the scalp then also it will cause hair loss. This kind of hair loss generally happens in kids. With the help of antifungal medicines this problem can be cured.
Hair fall can also be a symptom of any major disease like diabetes or lupus. Hence make sure that you notice sudden hair loss a bit seriously and consult your doctor. This way you can control the diseases in the initial phase itself. If you will not take proper hair care, then it can also cause hair loss. Some shampoos and conditioner can harm your hair and scalp, more so if they are made using chemicals. Hence make sure that the products that you choose for hair care are natural and not made from harmful chemicals.
