Causes of Hair Loss

Stress, illness, high fever, chemicals, traction, self-manipulation, endocrine malfunction, PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), hair coloring, malnutrition, lack of vitamins, poisoning, and many more. Basically, anything that affects the body may affect the hair. Remember, we can live quite happily with no hair at all. Although many would potentially disagree with that statement, the physical fact is true. Mentally, this is another issue.

Who is affected?

It affects all ages in many different ways with varying severity. Furthermore, many conditions recover with time. In contrast, many will benefit from treatment. Did you know that Hair Loss itself is not a disease? It is a side effect of a disease within the body. Therefore, it’s the disease that needs to be established. When one hears the word disease it’s scary. Disease simply means that the body’s ease had been affected. So, when discussing hair loss, we must look at the bigger picture and examine the reasons why one would potentially suffer hair loss.
