What Causes Hair Loss?

Losing hair is unbelievably distressing. Who hasn't panicked when the brush seems fuller than usual? So what causes obvious hair loss? Cell division slows when you reach your thirties, and each hair spends less time growing and longer in its resting phase. Some follicles may become completely inactive. So, by the age of 50, the number of active follicles in the scalp has virtually halved. Hair colour also plays a role - the blonder your hair, the more you risk losing it.

Stress is a significant factor in hair loss as it triggers the hormone testosterone, responsible for male "pattern baldness". Tension - especially in the neck and shoulders - restricts circulation to the scalp, and follicles may become weak and undernourished. Similarly, strict diets, periods of illness or medical treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, may cause hair to fall out.
Rough handling is also a prime factor, along with chemical abuse - straightening, over-perming and colouring - which is also the most common cause of hair damage. Sleeping in rollers that are too tight causes "patchy" traction hair loss, in which the hair tails out in clumps.
