Hair loss causes

Do you know that a cause of hair loss may be:
1. sudden physical or emotional stress that is one-half to three-quarters of the hair throughout your scalp to shed (called Telogen effluvium). You will notice hair coming out in handfuls while you shampoo, comb, or run your hands through your hair. You may not notice this for weeks to months after the episode of stress. The hair shedding will decrease over 6 - 8 months.

2.High fever or severe infection
3.Childbirth
4.Major surgery, major illness, sudden blood loss
5.Severe emotional stress
6.Crash diets, especially those that do not contain enough protein
Also a number of medications, including retinoids, birth control pills, beta-blockers, certain antidepressants, NSAIDs (including iburpofen) and calcium channel blockers



Some women ages 30 - 60 may notice a thinning of the hair that affects the entire scalp. The hair loss may be heavier at first, and then gradually slow or stop. There is no known cause for this type of hair loss.
