01/11Tired of hair fall? Here's what might be causing it
You've tried using 5 different shampoos, a gazillion hair oils, multiple hair masks and probably even tried hair spa but that hair loss just won't stop? Well, that's because hair loss isn't always caused due to dandruff or an oily scalp. There can be multiple reasons for it, some that you might not even be aware of. Normally, we lose about 50-100 strands of hair a day and that might seem like a lot but it actually isn't. However, if you're losing hair at a rapid rate and much more than you normally should, then you really need to start paying attention to the reasons why it's occurring. Here are some things that could be causing all that hair fall.
02/11Anemia
Iron deficiency is the main reason many women between the ages of 20 and 49 suffer from anemia. This may cause you to lose a lot of hair fast. Get a blood test to find out what kind of anemia you are suffering from. Symptoms of this condition are pale skin, cold hand and feet, headaches and exhaustion. You could try taking iron supplements to rectify this issue.
03/11Insufficient protein
You may be suffering from hair loss issues due to lack of protein. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, insufficient amounts of protein in the body can disrupt the process of hair growth. The best way to tackle this issue is by adding more eggs, fish, and meat to your diet.
04/11High intake of vitamin A
The American Academy of Dermatology reveals consuming vitamin A in excessive amounts, whether it is through food or medication, maybe the cause of hair loss. Consult with your doctor to know if this may be the reason you are suffering from hair loss. It will also help you determine whether or not you should reduce the amount of vitamin A you consume.The Daily Value for vitamin A is reportedly 5,000 International Units (IU) for adults.
05/11Lack of exercise
Were you aware that not doing exercise could have adverse effects on your scalp too? If your body doesn't get enough oxygen, blood circulation won't be as good as it is supposed to and this can lead to hair fall.
06/11Sickness
Even being sick can contribute to hair fall. Your body is really vulnerable at this point which is why you need to be extra careful about your diet. Take a few supplements and those should help reduce the hair fall you're experiencing.
07/11Pregnancy
Pregnancy can completely throw off your hormonal balance. Post pregnancy, women might notice that they're experiencing hair fall but this is just something that is temporary and with a few supplements things should be back to normal in a few months.
08/11Hormonal imbalances
More often than not we end up with some sort of hormonal imbalance which throws pretty much everything off in our body. Certain hormones can lead to hair loss without the person even realising that it's the cause for all that hair fall. Even thyroid imbalances can cause hair fall.
09/11Stress
Yes, this is true. Stress can actually lead to hair fall. One of the best things you can do is to apply some calming oils to your scalp and massage gently. Not only will it help reduce your stress levels but it will also improve blood circulation while ensuring that your hair follicles are also stimulated.
10/11Genetics
Sometimes hair fall is due to genetics and genetics only. If your parents have really fine hair then chances are that you'll end up with the same type of hair. Try to meet a hair expert as soon as possible and start getting treated for it early on as this may prevent it from getting any worse.
