PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS AND CERTAIN
DISEASES
If you are losing so much hair than usual,
try to re-evaluate your health first. The best way to go with this is to check
a physician. There are certain types of hair loss that could be caused by a
pre-existing health condition or disease. For example, thyroid problems often
reflect on hair health, which can even cause excessive shedding.
Too much stress is also another health
concern that can lead to hair loss. This is due to the hormonal imbalance which
causes the hair follicles to be very sensitive making them vulnerable to
excessive hair shedding. So try to keep those stress levels in check and you
are well on your way to keeping your hairs rooted firmly on your head.
CHECK YOUR DIET
What you feed your body is eventually
reflected on how it functions. Your diet is one important aspect to look into
if you are losing so much hair. If you lack nutrients to nourish your body,
this can also affect the strength and vitality of your locks. Crash dieting and
diets that have very stringent restrictions can also weaken the hair, since
this also subjects your body to certain degree of stress.
DO THE SIMPLE HAIR TEST
If you think that you are losing so much
hair, you can simply run your hands through your hair or brush it forward using
a comb. Check how much hair the fall. Fifty to a hundred hair strands shed per
day is normal, beyond this would mean that you may already have a hair problem.
The type of hair loss experience by women is
different by those in men. The hair sheds on the central hairline in a diffuse
pattern. So try to check your middle hairline to see if it remained intact or
is it starting to part like the red sea.
CHECK YOUR HAIR CARE PRODUCTS
In some cases, the hair can shed
excessively because it is not compatible to any shampoo or hair product that
you are using. Usually harsh chemicals incorporated in the product can make
certainly be detrimental to hair health. The only catch her is that it may not
readily give you immediate answer, and may sometimes take weeks or even months
to find out.
