So, what are the causes of Hair Fall?

Hair Fall can be due to many reasons:

Hormonal Imbalance:

Women can suffer hormonal imbalance at any stage and age of her life. Especially after childbirth, women suffer major hormonal imbalance which leads to Hair Fall. Menopause in women is another reason that is responsible for Hair Fall.

Nutritional deficiency:

Hair is also a part of our body and like all other body parts to function, Hair also needs nutrition like Protein, Calcium, Vitamins, Zinc and Magnesium. When these important essential nutrients are missing from our daily diet, it leads to deficiency and that leads to Hair to start falling. The deficiency of Vitamin D is another major contributor that leads to Hair fall so make sure to soak up some sun to avoid Hair Fall.

Thyroid issues:

When the Thyroid glands which are in the front of our neck produces excessive or an insufficient amount of thyroid hormone, the Hair growth cycle gets impacted.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS):

Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome suffer from a hormonal imbalance that creates higher levels of androgens than normal. This condition leads to thinning of hair.

Birth control pills:

Birth control pills are another reason that can cause hair fall. Birth control pills contain hormones that suppress ovulation that can cause hair fall. In some women, the hair fall starts when they stop taking Birth control pills. So, it’s better to consult your doctor before you start taking the birth control pills.

Stress:

Stress is one big contributor to Hair fall without any second thoughts. Stress can be caused due to many reasons. The best solution is to minimize stress by making some lifestyle changes like exercising, meditating, yoga and massage.

Hairstyling products:

Over-treated hair like Hair coloring, Hair Straightening, Hair curling contains harmful toxic chemicals and dyes which harm hair follicles. Most of the commercially available shampoos and conditioners contain Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) that affects the immune system and has been proven to corrode hair follicles and impede hair growth. It is always advisable to use natural shampoos for your hair.

Weather conditions:

Change in the weather conditions also leads to Hair Fall which is temporary.

Some and very important Tips for controlling Hair fall that I want to share with you

Shampoo:

It is very important to know your hair type before you decide on the shampoo routine for your Hair. Yes, you heard it right, shampoo routine for your Hair. The shampoo routine here I mean is that you need to understand your hair type. If you have dry hair then shampooing the hair thrice a week, can make the hair extremely dry and lead to hair loss.  At the same time, if your hair type is oily then you need to shampoo your hair at least twice a week to keep your hair clean and oil-free and remember clean Hair tends to break less.

Conditioner:

Again, it is important to apply conditioner to your hair after hair wash. A good Hair conditioner works wonders for your hair. The conditioner contains Amino Acids that help lock moisture to the Hair, repair damaged hair, and helps keep it smooth and manageable.

Diet and exercise:

A balanced diet plays a crucial role in maintaining good hair health. Hair needs to be supplied with essential and vital nutrients like proteins, calcium, minerals, vitamins, and zinc. Along with a healthy diet, exercise and meditation are also required for the Hair to maintain its vitality. Exercise increases blood circulation in the Hair follicles thereby reducing Hair Loss. Meditation helps reduce stress and thereby reduce hair loss.

Chemical treatments:

Exposing Hair to rigorous hair treatments like hair color, straightening, and curling of the hair causes a lot of stress to your Hair. Further use of blow dryers, curling iron rods, damages the hair follicles and leaves them brittle and weak.

Oiling:

Oiling the hair increases blood circulation on your scalp. Hair oil is a conditioner to your hair so ensure you oil your hair before every wash to make it less dry. Make sure you massage your hair at least 1 hour before Hair wash, cover your hair with a shower cap and wash your hair with a mild shampoo.
