What are the causes of Hair loss?

My 17 year old daughter is suffering from it for 2 years, so far. Her hair is thinning out and she's losing too much hair at her age. What may be the cause of this? She has also begun to ';flake out';. Why is this happening? What could be done about it?What are the causes of Hair loss?
What causes excessive hair loss?



Stress from an illness or a major surgery



Hormonal problems



Childbirth



Medication (s)



Infection(s)



Underlying disease

I agree with taking her to doctor but these might be some reasons why she is losing hair :

1: lots of stress , causes hairloss , make sure she is not stressed .



2: bad hair care , does she use hair ions e.g hair straightners ? does she use hair drier most the time to style her hair ? these are very bad for the health of hair and should be avoided for daily use ! ( make sure she doesnt highlight her hair too often )



3: bad shampoo , she should try different shampoos and see which one is the best .



4: Does she take shower everyday ? , everyday shower is bad for hair , if this is her routine and she likes it tell her not to use shampoos every day , she may wash her body but washing her hair with shampoo daily is bad for her hair .





very important to pay attention to her diet , bad diet causes hair loss. her diet should contain protein.

';The hair is comprised mostly of protein. To encourage hair growth, adhere to a diet rich in protein. A recommended diet for this purpose includes calves liver, brewer's yeast, wheat germ, and two tablespoons of granulated lecithin. Along with protein, these foods are also high in B vitamins, an important nutrient for hair.( http://holisticonline.com/Remedies/Hair//a> )';





How about some hair care products ? I used to suffer from hair loss when i was her age but i started using hair care Oils ( snake oil , local product ) , Im sure there are good hair care products around , they might smell and look scary but they are very good for the hair !
Hair loss is caused by many reasons such as malnutrition, illness, tension and other health problems.It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of a cycle of growing new hairs and loosing some. Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp. Check out http://usefulinfo-hairloss.blogspot.com/ for more info.
Amazingl, you mentioned that her diet is good. I suggest you double check it again with info on this page just to be sure:

Good luck.
Stress... i' ve seen in TV that kind of situation.. the doctor advice him to have an exercise regularly preferably at the gym for him/ her to focus on the said activity.. but for more info go to doctor...
STRESS.

And maybe even she's pulling her own hair out.

I do that sometimes when im angry or stressed or feeling uncomtrable.



I dont know anything eles but go see a doctor and ask.

:D
take her to doctor

Is DHT (dihydrotestosterone) , the actual cause of hair loss in both male and females?

I'm confused. On the internet, whilst doing some research i read that DHT also occurs in women. I thought only men experienced this. Is this the root of what causes hair loss ? is DHT always present and always the reason why someone will lose their hair?



this is an article i found



';DHT develops when testosterone is combined with ';5-alpha reductase';, an enzyme that is produced by the hair follicles. The mixture of the already-present testosterone and the new enzyme cause the hair follicles to begin shrinking. The Di-hydrostestosterone, or DHT, remains present on the scalp, causing the hair follicles to shrink more and more. Eventually, the follicles are unable to continue producing hair';



-http://www.inhairit.com/female-hair-loss/a>







If this is the case then is a dht blocker able to prevent hair loss for life if used continuously? I'm a 22 year old female experiencing hair loss which has not resolved itself after the delivery of my son 2 years ago. Can i get a recommendation of a Natural and fairly cheap DHT blocker i can use to grow my hair and prevent future hair loss?Is DHT (dihydrotestosterone) , the actual cause of hair loss in both male and females?
The paragraph you quoted primarily refers to men. It also applies to women approaching their menopause.



women are more likely to suffer from thyroid problems,hair loss caused by birth control pills and stress induced hair loss.Especially if they are as young as you. these may ultimately lead to increased DHT but that does not mean DHT itself is the cause of your hair loss.



That article you linked to is misleading and playing with words. women do not lose hair in the same way as men and are more than likely to suffer from diffused hair loss, that is thinning all over the head. DHT is Not the main cause of hair loss in women.But that article says the main cause of baldness in women.How many women go bald? Anyway that whole article is a sales pitch aimed at a product so I would not pay too much attention to it..



I would work on finding the root cause of your hair loss.It could be a number of things.sometimes you can be under lots of stress without even knowing it.



you may be suffering from Telogen Effluvium which can be triggered by childbirth and can take long a time to clear up. Sometimes years.



Most hair loss supplements with DHT blockers are only for men.The only one that I know of that is for women and does actually work is provillus.



P.S DHT tests in women are inconclusive and not very reliable. The reason is because of the very low levels of DHT compared to men. Tests carried out on women can and do report DHT as being normal even though it is causing hair loss.Is DHT (dihydrotestosterone) , the actual cause of hair loss in both male and females?
There are many reasons for hair loss including hormone imbalance, stress etc....

it would probably be better to go to the doctor so they can determine the cause.I think they can do test whether DHT is the cause nowadays?
  • microdermabrasion
  • Could it be that stress is the cause of hair loss/falling hair?

    Yes indeed! Have had that happening to me. I cut my hair, which was past my butt, because it was falling out so much and wanted the length to be shorter since it was. It's still falling out, but not as badly. I'm sure it'll even out eventually, not bald yet!Could it be that stress is the cause of hair loss/falling hair?
    that is the symptoms or stress


    these are the other symptoms of stress.........


    chest pains,


    constant tiredness,


    constipation or diarrhoea,


    cramps or muscle spasms,


    craving for food,


    dizziness,


    fainting spells,


    lack of appetite,


    nail biting,


    feeling sick,


    frequent crying,


    nervous twitches or muscle spasms,


    pins and needles,


    restlessness,


    sleeping problems, and


    a tendency to sweat.Could it be that stress is the cause of hair loss/falling hair?
    MECHANICAL DAMAGE





    Damage to the hair can be self inflicted either by intentional or unintentional means. Some people going through stress continuously pull at their hair until it comes out. Styling hair by bleaching, braiding and straightening can also cause damage and results in hair being lost.
    yes it could. also if you have a problem with your teeth. or you need vitamins. my little sister's hair falls off when she is stressed and/or have a problem with her teeth, so that could be it. better check with a doctor though, could be something more serious
    Yes. I have a friend whos hair fell out in patches when he was going through a divorce. About a year later, it all grew back.
    it's also called living. hair grows to it's terminal lenth, falls out
    Yes*
    yeah babeh

    Unintentional cause of hair loss on thigh area?

    Ok, so this might sound just a little bit comical but true story none the less.


    So , I pretty much ran out of roomy boxers a while ago and I had to wear some kind of underwear right?


    So, I wore my older, much less spacey boxers for about two weeks until I bought new ones.


    They constricted my thigh but not my hamstring area.


    Sometime later (.I'm not one to endure discomfort for long)


    I noticed that the hairs on my thigh were not as thick and long.


    The hair growth recedes right from the point where my boxers would fit..


    What exactly happened or is my imagination rampant?Unintentional cause of hair loss on thigh area?
    If you go to the tool section in Home Depot you'll find buffing discs made of cotton and other seemingly harmless fibers.


    But they polish off a lot.





    I took a lipadary class and the buffing discs--even for semi-precious stones--were soft cotton, some of them! They weren't just to clean them up again--they actually


    put the final polish on dull, mat stones.


    So don't underestimate little things--there are no little things.





    Your boxers may have even had some polyester content, making them even more abrasive.





    When a fabric is woven (non-stretchy) instead of knitted (stretchy),


    it will create more abrasion upon friction and movement.





    My husband has little hair where his denims rub his knees (--it's funny, but I can't bring myself to put him in a dress).





    It's a lesson and a half though, no? Little things add up!

    Kindey problem, a cause of hair loss?

    is it?Kindey problem, a cause of hair loss?
    Your question is not at all clear so I have no idea what you really want to know but, yes, kidney disease can cause hair loss though it is not common. Usually, hair loss is not seen until the patient is in kidney failure.

    What is the cause of hair loss?????

    is it stress or the frequent change of shampoo brands?What is the cause of hair loss?????
    According to an article I read the causes for hair loss are many and varied. Genetic 'Pattern Baldness' is the most common, but there are other very common causes such as Hormonal Imbalance, Illness, Poor Diet, Poor Hygiene, Drug Abuse and Stress. Read this article, http://myhairloss.googlepages.com/thecau/a>What is the cause of hair loss?????
    I think by using conditioners, because long time ago I used conditioner and I had lose a lot of hair.
    Strees is one of them. Heritage is another.
    There are numerous reasons, here are just some:



    Heredity, age, stress, pregnancy, eating disorders, malnutrition (specifically lack of folic acid in diet), wearing hats too often (clog the hair folicles with oil and such), colouring or other treatments of hair products too often.
    one way is if u wear baseball caps all the time
    its most likly stress, i don't think that shampoo brands will change ne thing about your hair.
    Genetic is 1 common way
    or just baldness
    There are many reasons for hair loss. I am not sure why I have it, but I know what helped me. My doctor told me that women who took spirolactone had new hair growth. This a fluid tablet. He said this was one of the side effects. I was already taking a fluid tablet and he changed it to spirolactone. Within just a couple weeks, I could tell the difference. I now have much more hair, and it is one the top of my head, not one my face and chest as my daughter predicted. I do not know if this is helpful. Just like to pass on things that work.
    Like firestarter said genetics and also enviornment and exposure to certain chemicals.
    stress n wat u wash it with
    Because your scalp stinks and the hair is jumping overboard.

    What are the causes of hair loss?

    i'm 24 and i'm already starting to noticebly loose hair ... what are some of the causes of hair loss ? anything I can do to slow it down ?What are the causes of hair loss?
    Hair loss is caused by all kinds of things, but mostly it's a hereditary thing. If you want to see what you'll look like in about 20 years, check out your dad's and mom's hair. If your family history shows significant hair loss, there is still hope, but you need to act quickly.





    There are all kinds of medical remedies available. If you're serious about remedying hair loss, see your doctor. You can also take steps to preserve the hair your have. One easy thing, only comb your hair from roots to ends. Anything else tangles and then pulls out hair in the detangling process. Follow this pattern also when you wash and condition your hair. Also, keep your hair cut short as weight will also increase fallout. Finally, Mane and Tail shampoo seem to help, and some judicious use of hair gel will make the hair you have seem thicker. Finally, don't sweat it. Many ladies find guys attractive with little or no hair.What are the causes of hair loss?
    Hereditary, diet, injury, stress, thyroid, etc. Supposedly Grondin's Hair Salon has shampoo that helps. Check with your doctor to rule out medical problem, but if your dad has hair loss, you probably will too.
    Unlike the last answer: Hair loss comes down the mother's line. Check your uncles on your mother's side to get an idea if your problem is genetic.
    go to a doctor first to rule out any medical problems.


    if you are losing more than 200 hairs a day,it is to worry about.


    diet,lack of vitamins,stress,medications,


    certain diseases(like thyroid).......etc

    What are the cause of hair loss?

    Some think it is hereditary, so it runs in families, also if there is a severe burn the hair will not grow back because the layer of skin in which hairs follicles grow will be destroyed as well from constant rubbing in one area can cause the hair to stop growing in certain spots has to do with proteins and stuff!!What are the cause of hair loss?
    one is believed to be too much testorone.What are the cause of hair loss?
    There can be many different reasons for hair loss but one of the biggest reasons is stress!
    Genes is the big reason. if you have any one in your family who has hair loss most likely you will too. But one trick i know is to wash your hair with cold water to close the pores in your head that holds the hair, instead of using hot water because it will open the pores.
    stress and genetics (genes)
  • microdermabrasion
  • Is using a blowdryer a cause of hair loss.?

    i wouldnt have thought so... hair loss is usually due to stress..





    maybe your stressing yourself to get your hair right every day..


    maybe you have other work related stresses


    maybe its something that you wouldnt think of.. like, rushing around, money worried, friendship worries ect...





    stress is a terrible thing and can cause all sorts of problemsIs using a blowdryer a cause of hair loss.?
    I don't think it is, but the best advice that I can give you is to not put conditioner on your roots. Conditioner is made for the ends of your hair. My mother is a hairdresser and I told her about losing my hair. She told me to not use as much conditioner and to only keep it on my ends.....it's worked. I no longer lose as much hair.Is using a blowdryer a cause of hair loss.?
    YES it does..... after taking a hot bath your skin expands as does your scalp... this makes roots sit loser then normal and when you blow dry it your literally ripping some of your hair out simply because your roots have been loosened by the heat... the same goes with cold water if you haven't noticed your skin contract making it feel tight..... heat does the opposite... so my advise to you is maby wash your hair with loop warm water or cold if your gana blow dry your hair
    no, but if overused it can cause dry hair, that is brittle and will break off. this gives you horrible split ends. if your using a blow drier then leave a little conditioner or product in your hair to keep it conditioned.
    No, but it can make it thinner. And it will damage your hair with frequent use. Treat your hair regularly with leave-in conditioner and vitamin shampoo, like Pantene or Garnier.
    Actually, it does affect your brain as the hair dryer emits electro-magnetic waves that enter at least 2-inches deep in your brains. ask california Edison to send you a free brochure on electromagnetic waves and see the reality!!
    It could be..it depends how often you use it.


    Try to air dry your hair for a while...or set it in curlers and let dry.





    Too much heat on hair will damage it.
    absolutely not..but it does cause heat damage to your hair.. so i suggest that you use some kind of hair lotion our leave in conditioner after blow drying
    the heat is the cause of the hair loss. it causes drying of the hair and scalp
    no, there are tons of people who use them but still have a full head of hair
    Not usually...some causes are alopecia, stress and ill health but not hairdrying.
    no, not unless you set it in the scalp and it burns the hair off.
    Nope, never heard of that one.
    nope.


    but if you use it too much it can cause damage to your hair!
    no, but it damages your hair alot if you do it frequently
    nope, unless you use it so close to ur head it burns ur hair off.
    Hope not.
    Naw.
    Not unless you are wearing a wig!
    no but everyday you lose hair
    wearing head gear is the cause,,
    I haven't lost hair that way.
    maybe b/c of the heat.
    if your hairs thin , then yes.
    no.
    no as long as you dont do it to much
    i sure hope not... everyday user lol

    Masterbating can be cause of hair loss?

    Hey every one.


    I have lost hair of in front of my head. Hair lossing from past year make a very thik hair. But now dramatically controlled by a hair oil. Some told me that it can be cause of masterbating becuase I am msterbating to from past one year.





    Is he true. please advise me. Is there any natural way to grow my hear faster then fast like any fruits tonic etc.








    thanksMasterbating can be cause of hair loss?
    No Masturbation is the least of your worries. Whoever told you that it was probably just wanted to have you over-react!





    I'm going to explain to you the reason why people have hair loss, treatments, and things to ask your doctor!





    Each hair grows in cycles鈥攊t grows, rests, and then falls out. Usually, this cycle repeats approximately yearly. At any time, about ninety percent of a person's scalp hair is growing, a phase that lasts between two and six years. Ten percent of the scalp hair is in a resting phase that lasts between two and three months. At the end of its resting stage, the hair goes through a shedding phase.





    Causes and Risk Factors of Hair Loss


    High fever, severe infection, major surgery, significant life stressor. From four weeks to three months after a person has a high fever, severe infection, major surgery, or significant life stressor such as death in the family, he or she may be shocked to see a lot of hair falling out. This condition usually corrects itself but may require treatment.





    Thyroid disease Both an overactive and underactive thyroid can cause hair loss. The hair loss associated with thyroid disease can be reversed with proper treatment.





    Inadequate protein in diet. Some vegetarians, people who go on crash diets that exclude protein, and those with severely abnormal eating habits, may develop protein malnutrition. When this happens, a person's body will help to save protein by shifting growing hairs into the resting phase. Massive hair shedding can occur two to three months later. Hair can then be pulled out by the roots. This condition can be reversed by eating the proper amount of protein.





    Medications. Prescription drugs can cause temporary hair shedding in a small percentage of people. Examples of such drugs are blood thinners, some drugs used to treat gout and arthritis, acne, or psoriasis, and some medications for heart problems.





    Low serum iron Iron deficiency sometimes produces hair loss. Low iron can be detected by laboratory tests and corrected with iron pills.





    Alopecia areata. In this type of hair loss, hair usually falls out, resulting in totally smooth, round patches about the size of a coin or larger. This disease may affect children, women or men of any age.





    Androgenic alopecia. This is the most common type of hair loss and is often called ';male- or female-pattern baldness';. The hair usually thins out first in the front of the scalp and moves progressively to the back and top of the head. It tends to be progressive. This type of hair loss also runs in families.





    Treatment of Hair Loss


    If hair loss is caused by a temporary situation such as medication, stress or insufficient iron, however, however, the hair loss will stop when its cause ends. Hair loss due to infection may require oral antibiotics or antifungals. Alopecia areata can be treated with injections of steroids such as triamcinolone into the area. For all of the causes, early treatment works the best.





    For hair loss caused by androgenic alopecia, there is no cure, although many treatments are available. Finasteride (Propecia) is a prescription hair loss treatment that is prescribed for men only. Minoxidil (Rogaine) is rubbed directly onto the scalp and works for both men and women. It usually works best for hair loss at top and back of the scalp, where there is still some remaining hair. This is available over the counter at most pharmacies.





    Well chosen hairstyles can often hide hair loss effectively. Partial hairpieces or wigs are recommended if hair loss is severe.





    Finally, hair transplantation has improved dramatically over the last several years. During a hair transplant, healthy hairs are harvested from an area of the scalp with normal hair growth. Individual hairs are then placed into areas of hair loss. When done well, the result is extremely natural appearing.





    Questions To Ask Your Doctor About Hair Loss


    What is causing the hair loss?





    Is this due to a temporary cause that will correct itself?





    Is it related to any medication I currently take?





    How can the problem be corrected?





    Is it diet related?





    If so, what needs to be changed in the diet?





    How can the hair damage be repaired?





    Should I consider taking medication?Masterbating can be cause of hair loss?
    NO UR STUFFED U BALD PRICK!!
    The only link I can think of is stress. Stress causes hair loss, and you may be subconsciously masturbating more to try to alleviate some of that stress.





    Masturbation will NOT cause hair loss.
    Complete utter bs. Nothing sexual you do will make your hair fall out. However not taking care of yourself might make your hair fall out.
    Relax!


    The hair your losing on your head, will soon grow on your palms.





    Cheers!
    masturbating will not make your hair fall out....so relax over that one.





    You don't say your age..it is commen to loose your hair more at certain ages..also stress has an effect on your hair.


    If it is a real noticalbe amount you have lost..you really should go to a Dr to make sure it is not a sign of something serious
    stop masterbating .
    masturbating can cause hair loss its true..pubic hair loss.

    for your hair loss, go see a dermatologist...i just hope you don't have alopecia...it's a common symptom of having an auto immune disorder. better, have a blood test too to verify if you have that blood disorder.

    If you don't want to see hairloss progress than you need to do something about it now, because once the follicles have shrunken and closed for over 2 years or so it will be forever impossible to bring that hair back.



    Consider Finasteride or Propecia, both of which come in generic versions which are available cheaper from international pharmacies (order online). Consuming lots of soy also helps somewhat, it is a testosterone atagonist to some degree. Be aware that balding is essentially an effect of testosterone, and as such any means to combat it will involve hormonal altercation which runs the (small but very real) risk of diminished sexual drive and/or function.



    Topical Minixoidil (Rogaine) will help hair follicles open up and discourage shrinking but it alone is not enough to reverse balding, it will only slow it or enhance the effects of Finasteride/Propecia.What is the cause of hair loss in one spot then another spot away from the first spot? what can you do for it?

    Alopecia areata is hair loss of unknown cause, characterized by round patches of complete baldness.





    The specific cause of alopecia areata is unknown. A family history of alopecia is present in about a fifth of all cases. Alopecia areata is occasionally associated with autoimmune diseases.





    Alopecia may also occur as alopecia totalis with complete loss of scalp hair or as alopecia universalis with total loss of all body hair.





    The primary symptom of alopecia areata is roundish patches of hair loss on the head, with smooth, hairless scalp in the affected areas. Alopecia totalis involves the complete loss of all scalp hair, and alopecia universalis is characterized by the complete loss of all scalp and body hair.





    No fully effective treatments are available. Typical therapy includes:





    Topical corticosteroids (medium to very high potency)


    Subcutaneous (under the skin surface) steroid injection


    Ultraviolet light therapyActual cause of hair loss on the back side of my head %26amp; precise treatment for it?
    Skin specialist will not be able to help you. If it is hereditary, you will have to live with it. Otherwise, you need constitutional treatment. Consult a homoeopath.

    WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF HAIR LOSS AND BREAKAGE OF HAIR FROM THE ROOTS AND IS THERE ANY TREATMENT FOR THIS?

    Somehow I feel that this is female hair loss related so here you go.



    When new hairs do not replace the old or when hair is coming out in clumps or sections, there is definite cause for concern.Female hair loss comes from a variety of causes some temporary, some permanent.



    Temporary causes include pregnancy, anxiety and stress, too many strong treatments (coloring, bleaching), too much manipulation, illness, disease, and infections of the scalp. Fortunately, regrowth occurs naturally when as these causes dissipate.



    Permanent hair loss occurs as a result of heredity and hormonal changes and unfortunately is not reversed naturally. Women usually see hair loss begin at areas of parts, where parts become wider. Female pattern baldness occurs primarily in the frontal areas; then, there is general overall hair loss, resulting in a continual thinning of the entire head with the scalp becoming more and more visible.WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF HAIR LOSS AND BREAKAGE OF HAIR FROM THE ROOTS AND IS THERE ANY TREATMENT FOR THIS?
    Hormones place a large role in woman鈥檚 hair loss and it can be caused by an overactive thyroid, menopause, pregnancy or other hormonal changes.



    There are three basic types of woman鈥檚 hair loss: 1) androgenic alopecia, 2) Telogen effluvium and 3) alopecia areata. There are less common causes of the condition as well. The most common cause of treatment of androgenic alopecia are those directed at hormonal alterations in the system.

    Usually it is genetics or stress. Go to a physician and get a shot of steroids.
    Pulling hair too much, may be from braids, gel up for sticky hair look or used too much chemical elements on hair.
    Such hair loss is always due to genetic inheritance, said to be mainly from the maternal family side. Keeping to a good well-balanced diet and regular exercise for optimum blood circulation helps to minimise the loss.
    How young are you? When I was just 10 years old, my hair started falling out and when I told my mom, she kept thinking that I was brushing it too hard, scrubbing it too hard when I washed it, etc. She wouldn't take me seriously. When I woke in the mornings, my pillow was covered in hair. I developed a bald spot on my crown and my mom started pulling my hair back into a ponytail to cover it up. I was in school one day and the elastic broke and my hair came down and all the children in my class started laughing at my big bald spot. I was devastated! I put my head down on my desk and cried in humiliation for the rest of the day. When I went home, I announced to my mom that I would not be returning to school. My mom realized finally that I needed to see a doctor. Next day, she took me to the doctor and we found out that I had a thyroid gland disorder. I was prescribed some pills and within a few weeks my hair started growing back in and I took the pills for about 6 months and never had the problem again. As well, I had a bed-wetting problem that was also devastating and even though this was not mentioned to the doctor, I stopped wetting the bed and never had that problem again, either. So, my suggestion is that you go see the doctor. It could be your thyroid gland is out of whack - either hyperactive or hypoactive. The thyroid gland controls a lot of things. Have this problem checked out and do not accept it as hereditary or lack of vitamins. Worth seeing the doctor about. Good luck!
    consult a trichologist
    stress....lower the stress level
    Hair loss is always hereditary and comes from the mother's side of the family.
