It is a natural fact of life that we will loose hair. There is a certain amount of balding that is natural, all mammals shed. There is hair thinning that is not natural though and can signify problems. Balding reflects your current general health. Catching the hair problems as soon as possible and addressing the cause is the best way to stop and prevent further hair loss.
Health and Hair Loss
A person's hair is a general reflection of their current over all health. If you find that you are losing hair this can be a good indication that there could be a health condition that needs to be addressed. Hair thinning can be caused by a sudden illness, ailments, psychological or physical stress.
There are temporary reasons a person may be losing hair. Life situations such as giving birth, ending a pregnancy, starting or stopping birth control pills, taking dieting drugs and therapy. Keep in mind that it can take months before you notice the hair loss from these events, and it can take a few months for it to stop.
There are also permanent health conditions that contribute to hair growth problems These ailments include hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. If you have diabetes or systemic Lupus you are also at greater risk for hair loss.
Hair loss and Diet
Understanding how important a proper diet is to every aspect of our beings is vital. Good nutrition can help us deal with stress, psychological problems and other diseases. We know that when we are stressed or ill our body is being depleted of the needed minerals and vitamins that are important to our daily function.
Making sure that you have a diet that includes B vitamins will help combat premature balding that is triggered by stress. Anti-oxidants are also important because they help rid our body of free radicals. Free radicals basically destroy our body, causing poor circulation, premature baldness, cancer and many other health conditions.
We all deal with stress everyday; it is a natural part of life. Making sure that we are well protected on the inside with proper diet and nutrition will help us be able to face and deal with stress more effectively.
Combating Hair Loss
The best way to stop hair growth problems is to address it as soon as you notice that you are losing hair. The longer it goes untreated the more difficult it is going to be to stop. There are medications that can be taken to help restore hair. There are medications for men and women. Talk to your doctor at the first sign of hair loss.

I was having lunch with my Dad one afternoon when he mentioned a product he was using had stopped his hair loss. A few weeks earlier, he was having a little problem with dandruff and decided to see a dermatologist about it. This doctor recommended an over the counter product called "Scalpicin" to help control his flaking. After a few weeks of usage my Dad could find little to no hairs in the brush he regularly used. He knew this would be of interest to me since I was having my own struggles with keeping my hair.
After using this product myself for a few weeks, I notice my scalp was feeling healthier, my hair became softer and the fallout had slowed considerably. I was shocked. Up to this point I had tried many products, both prescription and natural, in my search for a product that would stop my hair loss. On looking into this further, I found that the active ingredient responsible for this wonder is called by the name of "Salicylic Acid".
Now this is as technical as this short writing will get, but "Salicylic Acid" is what they call a beta-hydroxy acid derived from the bark of the willow tree. Salix is Latin for willow tree. It is chemically similar to the active ingredient of aspirin, and has been used as an anti-inflammatory since ancient times. It exfoliates layers of dead skin, causing the cells of the skin to shed more readily and prevent pores from clogging up. It is often used in commercial lotions to treat acne, psoriasis, calluses, corns and warts. Because of its effects on skin cells, Salicylic Acid is also used in several shampoos used to treat dandruff. Neutrogena T-Sal is a very popular example.
After having used this product for over a year now, I am of the opinion that the salicylic acid found in Scalpicin will not block the DHT your body produces but is excellent in keeping your scalp clean. I have gone back to shedding again, although much less before using Scalpicin. Having said that, I have found nothing as effective as this product for maintaining a clean and healthy scalp. This product has also served to help my anti DHT product better absorb into my scalp. It can be purchased at any major chain store for about $8. a bottle. That's a pretty good deal for the money.
Another little gem I have found after dumping so much money into so called "hair loss shampoo", is Walgreen's own T+Plus 3% Salicylic Acid Shampoo. This is one of the best shampoos I have found, and I have tried a lot of them. It is also very reasonable at only around $8. a bottle. Give them a try; you will be glad you did.

It is a little known fact that every single one of use loses around 100 strands of hair per day. Hearing this may sound alarming but do not despair - it is perfectly normal! A normal head of hair contains around 100,000 follicles each of which can grow around 20 individual hairs in a lifetime. The lost strands of hair are therefore replaced naturally by hairs that grow out of the follicles. Permanent hair loss occurs when the follicle is damaged or lost. Baldness occurs when the follicles die and are unable to produce replacement strands of hair.
The most common form of baldness is called androgenic alopecia or pattern baldness. This is considered a progressive hair thinning condition which varies in severity between suffers. The nature in which the hair is lost also varies greatly from case to case.
Some of the common types of hair loss are; male and female pattern alopecia, alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis. Pattern alopecia is the most common of all the types of baldness and is said to affect men more than women. Alopecia totalis refers to loss of hair from the whole of the head. Alopecia universalis refers to the loss of all the hair from all parts of the sufferer's body. There are a wide variety of causes of baldness these causes include:
Traction alopecia
Traction alopecia is a type of hair loss that typically occurs with people with long hair. These people often have ponytails, cornrows or dreadlocks. The loss of hair occurs when they pull on their hair too vigorously. The excessive force will cause the loss of hair. Typically this type of hair loss is not permanent as the lost hair is replenished with natural growth.
Telogen effluvium
Telogen effluvium is a type of hair loss that occurs rapidly often as a result of a trauma. The hair follicles enter a stage of rest at the same time. This can result in some really dramatic experiences of hair loss. Examples of the types of stress that bring telogen effluvium are severe stress, puberty, childbirth and chemotherapy. The condition can affect people of all ages. In most cases this type of hair loss corrects itself and the hair grows back normally. However there is a chronic version of this type of baldness that repeatedly causes hair to fall out.
Iron deficiency
A lack of Iron in the diet causes loss of hair. It is a common reason for mild hair loss. Usually this only results in hair thinning as opposed to complete baldness. Unlike other types of baldness it does occur in any specific areas of the head or in any pattern. It results in a regular hair loss but can be reduced by increasing the intake of iron in a person's diet.
Child birth
During pregnancy the increased levels of circulating oestrogens result in a thicker set of hair. After birth the levels of oestrogen drop and the additional hair growth reverts to normal levels. This can mean that women experience hair loss that can be worrisome and traunmatic. Fortunately it does not result in complete baldness but rather a mild thinning. The fertility stimulating drug clomiphene can also cause thinning of the hair in women.

Hair loss in the animal kingdom can be considered a point of pride. In some primate groups hair loss signifies status and maturity to the group. Female Gorillas have been seen to favour the member of the social group that has the largest forehead as a result of hair loss and as a result many male gorillas have been seen to encourage hair loss by rubbing their foreheads against abrasive surfaces. This trend seems to correlate with responses to baldness from humans.
One study that was conducted revealed that humans saw bald men as older than men with a full head of hair. Bald men and bearded men were considered more aggressive and as a result were considered better sexual partners but were also considered to have less social maturity. The report concluded that bald men could represent enhanced social status with a reduced physical threat and as a result they are more likely to secure reproductive partners.
The social response to baldness is extremely varied between men and women. Baldness in men is widely accepted but because of its rarity baldness in women causes a great deal of anxiety. Many women celebrities have opted to shave their heads and baldness has become the preferred choices for some women. Singers Sinead O'Conner, Britney Spears and Meshell Ndegeocello have all opted to shave their heads.
Many celebrities have also lost their hair due to chemotherapy and other treatments. Kylie and Gail Porter are other women that have famously become bald and used their celebrity to try and reduced the stigma attached to female baldness.
Baldness is surrounded by many myths and old wives tales and it can be difficult to differentiate between the fact and fiction. The most common folklore is that bald men are more virile than men with a full complement of hair. This idea has not been fully endorsed by scientists but neither has it been disproved. Scientists agree that baldness is strongly related to the levels of testosterone and DHT in the person. Bald men are therefore more likely to have higher levels of testosterone and as the theory follows that they therefore have a greater sex drive. However sex drive is determined by a great deal of factors.
Another commonly held belief is that frequent masturbation can cause baldness. Scientists believe that frequent ejaculation can cause a raised or lowered level of plasma testosterone but there is little credible evidence to suggest that this results in baldness. The belief that sexual activity has an effect on the likelihood of becoming bald is viewed with scepticism.
Many believe that sexual frustration can cause baldness. The truth is that stress can be a contributing factor in hair loss and because sex is a recognised method of reducing stress lack of it can result in higher levels of hair loss. Stress related baldness only occurs in genetically susceptible people. The military have conducted tests into the effect of sleep deprivation and have found that it is unlikely to raise the levels of DHT (which causes male pattern baldness). Therefore lack of sleep is not likely to affect the likelihood of becoming bald.

Many theories suggest that male pattern baldness results from sexual selection. Many suggest that bald men are more virile or sexually active than men with full heads of hair. Although there is yet to be comprehensive evidence either way scientists have agreed that the levels of testosterone and DHT have a significant influence in hair loss.
Many primate species also experience baldness after puberty. In some species the male will encourage frontal hair loss and it appears that frontal balding conveys increased status and maturity to the social group. In humans the response to baldness is extremely variable. Although widely acceptable for men it can be a point of stigma for women.
Fortunately the advancement in hair replacement techniques has made it possible to manage the condition to a certain extent and recover a more socially acceptable head of hair. Here is a look at a number of causes of hair loss.
Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania occurs when the person suffering from the condition compulsively pulls out their own hair. It is classified as an impulse control disorder in which the person pulls out their own hair. This can be the hair on their head, eyebrows, eyelashes, facial hair, nose hair, pubic hair and other body hair. This typically results in noticeable bald patches.
Typically the condition begins in people as young as twelve and it has been recognised in people as old as seventy. In this type of baldness the hairs are not absent from the scalp but are instead broken and not visible. This suggests that they can grow back if they are given the opportunity.
Radiation
Radiation can cause hair loss. Typical examples of this are people that receive radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer. Typically the hair at the point where the treatment is administered can become bald. The area can also become irritated but it can be a type of hair loss that will eventually replenish itself. After treatment the affected area can recover and achieve normal levels of hair growth.
Fungal infection
Some fungal infections can result in massive cases of hair loss. Caused by contact with a yeast or fungus this type of baldness can result in itching that develops to patches of hair loss. The affected area can turn red and experience weeping before losing hair. In this case the hair loss is not permanent as the follicles still exist to produce the hair. As a result when the infection is treated the hair is likely to grow back. This type of hair loss is common in children.
Autoimmune disorder
Alopecia areata is a type of hair loss that causes baldness in patches of hair. Also known as 'spot baldness' it can affect just one area of the body or in some cases every hair on the entire body. It usually affects the scalp and causes patches of baldness.
The spots of baldness may be slightly tender and it may tingle. In a very small number of cases it spreads to affect the whole of the scalp. It occurs in both men and women. It is not contagious but there are suggestions that it is hereditary. Many people that have alopecia areata have relatives that suffer from autoimmune disorders.
Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is a disease in which the sufferer experiences an insufficient production of the thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland. This can result in hair loss. The thyroid hormone is involved in an enormous range of the body's functions therefore if it falls out of balance it can result in a wide variety of symptoms. The hair loss that it causes often occurs at the front part of the scalp and the outer edge of the eyebrows.

Many theories suggest that male pattern baldness results from sexual selection. Many suggest that bald men are more virile or sexually active than men with full heads of hair. Although there is yet to be comprehensive evidence either way scientists have agreed that the levels of testosterone and DHT have a significant influence in hair loss.
Many primate species also experience baldness after puberty. In some species the male will encourage frontal hair loss and it appears that frontal balding conveys increased status and maturity to the social group. In humans the response to baldness is extremely variable. Although widely acceptable for men it can be a point of stigma for women.
Fortunately the advancement in hair replacement techniques has made it possible to manage the condition to a certain extent and recover a more socially acceptable head of hair. Here is a look at a number of causes of hair loss.
Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania occurs when the person suffering from the condition compulsively pulls out their own hair. It is classified as an impulse control disorder in which the person pulls out their own hair. This can be the hair on their head, eyebrows, eyelashes, facial hair, nose hair, pubic hair and other body hair. This typically results in noticeable bald patches.
Typically the condition begins in people as young as twelve and it has been recognised in people as old as seventy. In this type of baldness the hairs are not absent from the scalp but are instead broken and not visible. This suggests that they can grow back if they are given the opportunity.
Radiation
Radiation can cause hair loss. Typical examples of this are people that receive radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer. Typically the hair at the point where the treatment is administered can become bald. The area can also become irritated but it can be a type of hair loss that will eventually replenish itself. After treatment the affected area can recover and achieve normal levels of hair growth.
Fungal infection
Some fungal infections can result in massive cases of hair loss. Caused by contact with a yeast or fungus this type of baldness can result in itching that develops to patches of hair loss. The affected area can turn red and experience weeping before losing hair. In this case the hair loss is not permanent as the follicles still exist to produce the hair. As a result when the infection is treated the hair is likely to grow back. This type of hair loss is common in children.
Autoimmune disorder
Alopecia areata is a type of hair loss that causes baldness in patches of hair. Also known as 'spot baldness' it can affect just one area of the body or in some cases every hair on the entire body. It usually affects the scalp and causes patches of baldness.
The spots of baldness may be slightly tender and it may tingle. In a very small number of cases it spreads to affect the whole of the scalp. It occurs in both men and women. It is not contagious but there are suggestions that it is hereditary. Many people that have alopecia areata have relatives that suffer from autoimmune disorders.
Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is a disease in which the sufferer experiences an insufficient production of the thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland. This can result in hair loss. The thyroid hormone is involved in an enormous range of the body's functions therefore if it falls out of balance it can result in a wide variety of symptoms.
