Hair loss isn’t a recent problem. Rather, it has existed since ancient times. It has also been one of the very first problems that individuals and groups have tried to solve over the years. Men and women have the same hair loss causes, which are illustrated by several factors, some of which include:
Family history (heredity):
Genes are the most important causes of hair loss in men and women. There is still no radical solution to end the genetic defects that cause hair loss. These genes aren’t necessarily inherited from the latter generation, but they could be from the former one. The human could be a carrier of these genes, but they are inactive so they pass them on to their children.
Food:
Like other parts of the body, hair needs a variety of nutrients to be healthy and grow, and regulate the body’s metabolism. Therefore, the quality of the food and nutrients that are consumed play a crucial role in keeping the hair healthy, thus a nutritional diversity must always be maintained.
Vitamin deficiency or ischemia:
The nature of the human body may not be able to absorb important vitamins and minerals, so they supplement one’s diet by taking pills, vitamins, plasma injections or using a specific sort of shampoo rich in natural nutrients. Shampoo is a cure for hair loss, but it doesn’t make progress after losing all the patient’s hair.
Chemicals:
Chemicals, whether in the air as a result of pollution or in some hairdressing preparations and shampoos, can have damaging affects to the hair.
Hormonal imbalance:
Hormonal imbalance is one of the most major causes of hair loss in men and women. High levels of testosterone in men and women lead to rapid hair loss. High levels of testosterone do not impede performing a hair transplant. However, hair loss can sometimes result from general imbalance of hormones, therefore it is not recommended to perform the procedure unless the patient has been treated of their condition.
