Hair Loss Reasons

Causes of Hair loss

Anyone that suffers from hair loss is likely very worried about the possible causes, and how to prevent the condition from worsening. In very rare instances, hair loss can be due to an underlying health problem. But these reasons are extremely rare - so much so, that when they do occur it is likely something you knew may be coming. For example, diabetes can cause hair to fall out, but you will very likely know you have diabetes long before it affects your hair.

However, there are a variety of less dangerous reasons that may affect you and your hair at some point in your life.

What Are Some Possible Reasons for Hair Loss?

There are many possible reasons, but far fewer common ones. The most common reasons that men lose their hair are:

  • Stress - Stress can cause a temporary loss of hair in both men and women. A high amount of stress can alter your body's ability to correctly grow your hair, resulting in its thinning and possibly even falling out. In addition, high amounts of stress may cause people (especially women) to pull out their hair with a psychological disorder known as Trichotillomania. Typically, lost hair due to stress will return once the stress is reduced.
  • Nutrition - If you do not eat the right foods, you can suffer from hair thinning and, ultimately, hair loss. While it is uncommon, it is possible you do not get the right amount of nutrients and vitamins that your body needs in order to grow hair correctly. As a result, you will start to lose your hair, but if you get the right nutrition, that problem will be solved as well.
  • Age - Age does not necessarily cause hair loss so much as weakened hairs that may fall out. When you get older, it is not uncommon for a lot of your body to not quite work as efficiently, and the process to grow your hair is no different. Additionally, the older you get, the more likely that androgenetic alopecia, caused by excess levels of DHT in the scalp, with strike your hair follicles.
  • DHT - This is by far one of the most common hair loss reasons, and ultimately the only one that needs to (and can) be treated before it becomes permanent. DHT is a hormone that can be overproduced by your body, and it can cause loss of hair that will become permanent. Men with a genetic predisposition to hair loss caused by DHT are the ones most affected. The American Academy of Dermatology estimates that over 60% of males in the U.S. will suffer some level of DHT-related hair loss in their lives. DHT is the main culprit that most treatments for men target.

Stress and nutrition can be easily addressed and your hair will ultimately grow back. There is very little you can do about aging. But if, like the majority of men, your thinning hair is DHT-related, you can stop it before it becomes permanent by using a product known as Procerin.
