What You Need to Know About Hair Loss

If you feel that you are losing too much hair, don’t worry. You’re not the only one who feels this way.

Even if you do see tufts in the bathroom drain, experts believe that what is happening is totally normal.

The reason for this people lose anywhere between 60 to 100 hairs a day, according to experts.

It really depends on the length of your locks. Often, longer women with longer strands feel as if they have lost most hair than those with shorter locks.

Here are 2 reasons why hair tends to fall more than otherwise:

1: Health and Climate

If you’re ill – say with a high fever or a stomach problem – this can cause excessive shedding about six to 10 weeks later. This applies to when you are going on a diet as well. Of course, if you recover and continue to take care of yourself, then there is no reason to panic. A number of women would have noticed that more hair tends to fall in the late summer than in winter.

 2: Chemical processing

Hair color, bleaching and straightening don’t impact hair growth. But what they definitely do is damage the hair’s protein structure to a certain degree. This will weaken the hair shaft and cause breakage ultimately. By itself, breakage isn’t true hair loss but it will reduce the thickness of your hair. Biotin hair supplements, a sulfate-free shampoo and a deep conditioning hair mask are excellent ways to restore hair health.

Which begs the question: when should you be concerned?

If excessive hair shedding takes place for more than three months, then seek the advice the trichologist and dermatologist. It is an indicator that something isn’t right internally. In fact, this can mean deficiency in iron, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. This could also mean hypo or hyperthyroid complications too.
