First let us see what is the normal hair growth & hair loss cycle. The normal cycle of hair growth lasts for 2 to 6 years. About 90 percent of the hair on your scalp is growing, & the remaining 10 percent of the hair on your scalp is in a resting phase. Then after around 3 months, the resting hair falls out & the new hair starts growing in its place. However, some people do face a much excessive hair fall.
There are many reasons which can cause excessive hair loss. One of them, it can be after a major surgery or operation you have had to undergo, which is because of the stress & is temporary. Hormonal problems are also one of the reasons. Also, just 2 to 3 months after delivering a baby, many women notice hair fall, which is hormonal. Intake of some medicines can also cause hair fall, some of which include blood thinners, medicines for gout problems, those used in chemotherapy, excessive intake of vitamin A, & even certain antidepressants. Even dandruff can cause hair fall. Lastly, hair loss may also occur as part of a disease that you may be suffering, such as diabetes. It is important to find the cause so that it can be treated since hair loss is usually an early sign of a disease. These can mainly be prevented of regular oiling of hair, & also cleaning it regularly by using some safe shampoos. If there is some infection, then visit to some skin specialist can help. I hope these above causes & tips will help you take care of your hair well, & prevent your hair from falling.
