Hair Loss Causes – 5 Specific Types of Hair Loss Uncovered

It's like clockwork, people shed anywhere from 50 to 100 hairs a day. Although this might sound like a lot, it really isn't much when you think about it. Your head has well over 100,000 hairs on your head, so these 50 to 100 hairs usually go unnoticed. When these hairs fall out, new ones begin to grow in their place. There are many hair loss causes that could affect you, but the thing you should worry about is when it leads to baldness. This usually occurs when the amount of hair being shed is more than the amount that is growing back. This article is going to cover 5 specific types of hair loss causes that could be affecting you.

Here are the 5 specific types of hair loss:

1. Androgenic Alopecia (Pattern Baldness). This is the most common of all the hair loss causes. It is usually hereditary, so if someone in your family has it your chances of getting it are higher.

2. Cicatricial Alopecia (Scarring). This is a permanent type of balding in which inflammation scars the hair follicle and prevents new hair from growing.

3. Alopecia areata. This is an autoimmune disease that to this day, we do not know what causes it. It is also hereditary, meaning that your chance of developing this disease is greater if you have a family history of it.

4. Telogen effluvium. This is usually caused by a sudden change in your normal hair cycle. It can be triggered by both emotional and physical distress. This condition is not permanent but it will take a few months to correct itself.

5. Traction alopecia. This condition is caused by excessive hairstyling to your hair that constantly pulls and puts strain on your roots. This causes the hair to fall out but it will usually grow back.

So, go ahead and put this information to good use. Remember that in order for you to treat the problem; you need to first determine what is causing it in the first place. So I ask you to strive to make your life better and don't just settle for what it is. Do your due diligence and research your problem to determine the possible solutions to your problem. Once you find a few possible solutions you should at least try them to find out what works. Without action nothing can be accomplished. I hope that this article has helped you identify possible hair loss causes that you could be facing and how you can deal with them.
