Causes of hair loss

The causes of hair loss may be many. Very often some internal malady may be the root cause. This needs to be ascertained. Bringing into effect the proper preventive treatments can stop hair loss even before it begins by detecting the symptoms. Diseases like lupus or diabetes are a cause for hair loss. The hair loss serves as an early indication of the disease. The hair loss gets treated alongside the treatment of the disease.

Hair loss can also be the side effect of certain medication. When the administration of such medicines producing hair loss is discontinued the hair loss also stops.

Tips for Healthy Hair

1. Avoid over consumption of salt (most vegetables have their own natural sodium) and sugar; skip them entirely, if possible. 2. Same with alcohol and tobacco, also contributing causes of hair loss and dandruff.

3. Try headstands--or any position lowering your head below your body--several times daily (15 minutes each time). 4. Massage your scalp by hand, or with an electric vibrator.

5. Make a drink by blending bananas, honey, yogurt and low fat milk. This drink is rich in biotin and will help your hair to have strong roots.

6. Get sufficient sleep. Like a healthy body, healthy hair too needs a good night's sleep.

7. if you are dieting, you should be taking a multivitamin supplement. There are even supplements specifically designed for healthy hair (such as Nature's Bounty Vitamins for Hairâ,,¢).

8. Medications that can cause hair loss include Vitamin A, certain antidepressants, testosterone products, beta blockers, certain cholesterol-lowering agents, and chemotherapy.

9. The scalp must be kept cool, so protection from sun and washing in cold or lukewarm water are paramount. 10. Sound nutrition is key, so a hair-friendly diet should emphasize proteins, iron, zinc, sulfur, Vitamin C, Vitamin B-Complex and essential fatty acids.

11. Wearing you hair up or pulling up your hair in to tight pony tails is bad. Even barrettes can have an effect on your hair health and growth. Avoid using any restrictions on your scalp. Try to keep you hair as free as possible. The mechanical action can result in hair loss, hair is plucked out the skin leaving the bald patches. The condition is known as traction alopecia and trichotillomania.

12. Natural shampoos normally found in health food stores are a much better choice. Even with natural shampoos, be careful of the ingredient Sodium Lauryl Sulfate can strip away too much oil from the hair, causing shampoo residue to be left behind. Ingredients that have proven useful in shampoos are cocamides, Panthenol Pro-B, of course the previously discussed vitamins, aloe vera, sage, nettle, burdock, chamomile, chaparral, horsetail and rosemary. Also look for shampoos that contain keratin, the protein substance that hair is made of, or amino acids. This will help seal breakages in the cuticle.

13. Pollution of environment, chemical effects of inorganic fertilizers and insecticides in the food and consumption of contaminated drinking water is indirectly responsible for the problem.

14. Because of too much awareness with regard to beauty, hair and fashion sometimes people treat the hair in an unwanted and unhealthy manner which may also be blamed for hair loss.

15. Anti oxidants which may be obtained from fresh vegetables or fruits or from medicines may be taken, of course, after consultation and under supervision of a medical professional
