General: Hair is constantly going through cycles of growth,resting, shedding. When hairs that are lost are not replaced, orwhen more hair follicles go into the resting phase, hair lossbecomes noticeable. While there is ongoing debate regarding hairloss reasons, the list below shows many of the common contibutingfactors:

AgeingThe period for hair loss is between the 20 and 50 years of age.Some individuals arrive at the advance stages of hair loss soonerthan others although it becomes increasingly evident as peopleadvance in age.

Cosmetic ChemicalsParticularly bleaching, permanents, coloring.

Drugs/Medications/RadiationIncluded are anticoagulants, antidepressants, contraceptivepills, amphetamines, some arthritis medications, someantibiotics, some blood thinners, medicines for gout, drugsderived from vitamin-A, certain drugs for ulcers, beta blockerdrugs for high blood pressure. Cancer treatments such aschemotherapy and radiation therapy halt the growth phase of hairfollicles which results in a sudden hair loss as those folliclesall shed their hair at about the same time.

HeredityAndrogenetic alopecia is the term used to describe a geneticpredisposition in men and women for pattern baldness or patternhair loss. Although there is a dominant tendency for male patternbaldness, female members of a family can be transmitters as well.

Hormonal ImbalanceIf the male and female hormones, androgens and estrogens, are outof balance, hair loss may result. Also an overactive orunderactive thyroid gland can contribute to hair loss.

Illness and Severe InfectionsThese can include scalp fungal infections, Thyroid disorders,Hyperthyroidism, Hypothyroidism, Diabetes, Lupus.

Immune System DisorderAlopecia areata is an immune system disorder which causes hairfollicles to stop producing hairs. Advanced forms of the disorderare identified by the terms alopecia totalis when all head hairdisappears, and alopecia universalis which results in all bodyhair disappearing.

MenopauseDue to hormonal changes after menopause, some women find theirhair begins to thin. There are a variety of treatments availableinvolving hormone replacement therapy (HRT). There may be sideeffects in some cases and experimentation may be necessary underthe guidance of a physician.

Poor Blood CirculationPoor blood flow to the scalp, insufficient nutrients in theblood, or poor drainage of waste products through the lymphaticsystems can all contribute.

PregnancyThree to six months after delivering a child, many women notice adegree of hair loss as the hair goes into a resting phase becauseof the physiological impact of the pregnancy on the body.

PullingTraction alopecia is the term used to describe loss of hair fromconstant pulling, as with tightly braided hair styles such aspony tails. Also the improper use of curling tongs or rollers cantug the hair so it weakens.

Sebum BuildupSebum buildup in the follicles attacks the hair bulb, the roundedarea at the end of a hair strand which is rooted in the follicle.Sebum causes the hair bulb to shrink so the hair is not as wellrooted. After the hair falls out the new hair strand growing inthat follicle is weaker and thinner and the process is repeateduntil the hair follicle is so damaged it dies. (Sebum is a fattysubstance secreted from the sebaceous glands most of which openinto hair follicles.)

Stress and Nervous DisordersTelogen effluvium is the term used for a slowing down of new hairgrowth because of sudden or severe stress. The stress triggers alarge number of hair follicles to enter the resting stage, so afew months after the stressful event, those follicles shed hairat about the same time.

The onset of menopause can often lead to hair loss and has long been a part of aging that many women fear the most. These days many more women are also experiencing thinning and bald spots as they mature, and both men and women are reaching out for new solutions. Even though there is no real ‘cure’, there are many things that can be done to help.

Both hormones and genes are to blame for menopause causing acute hair loss, as is the aging process. Confirming the causes of your loss with a competent and experienced dermatologist is the first step in determining your best treatment options.

It’s possible to have temporary loss of hair caused by physical stress, emotional stress, thyroid abnormalities, medications and hormonal changes (such as androgens and estrogens during menopause) normally associated with females. Tension on the hair by prolonged use of hair weaving or corn rows can also cause permanent loss.

There are autoimmune disorders such as Alopecia Areata that cause patchy loss of hair often in small circular areas in different areas of the scalp. Alopecia Totalis is a total loss of hair on the scalp and is considered an advanced form of Areata. Alopecia Universalis is total hair loss of the entire body. People with diseases such as diabetes and lupus have also reported losing hair as a result.

It’s normal to shed some hair each day as about 90 percent of the hair on your scalp is growing at any one time during a normal phase that lasts for 2 to 6 years at one time. Some women notice they are losing hair about 3 months after delivering a child. This is related to a hormone loss and is usually temporary.

Several medicines have been known to cause hair loss such as blood thinners (anticoagulants), medicines used for gout and in chemotherapy to treat cancer. Also, the use of vitamin A, birth control pills and antidepressants has been known to cause hair loss.

Male pattern baldness is usually inherited from your genes. An over abundance of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is an active form of testosterone, within the hair follicle can create this type of hair loss. Current medications are aimed at slowing this common type of baldness including Minoxidil which is commonly called Rogaine and is available without a prescription. Both men and women can apply this product to the scalp. Another medicine, Finasteride, and called Propecia is available in pill form without prescription but is meant only for men. It can take up to 6 months in order to tell if these medications are helping.

Remember, the onset of menopause can often lead to hair loss and has long been a part of aging that many women and men fear the most. Even though there is no real cute, there are many things that can be done to help especially with Laser Hair Domes at home.
