Hair loss is a common problem and it affects many people today. An individual loses fifty to hundred hairs daily which is considered natural.  But if the number starts increasing rapidly then it is a matter of concern. There are many factors attributed to the rapid loss of hair notable among them are: hormonal imbalance, exposure to chemicals, stress, lack of proper nutrition, medication etc.

Androgen DHT, or Dihydrotestosterone are the hormones considered responsible for hair loss, they make hair thin and equally affect both men and women.  Intake of medicines for the treatment of depression, arthritis, high blood pressure, heart problems are also considered to be the cause.

High intake of vitamin A, deficiency of iron and fungus infection is the other reasons.  Psychological problems such as stress also results in the loss. Many people when trying to give a stylish look to their hair use chemicals to soften their hair, the reaction may also result in the hair loss.   Thyroid in the body should be in proper amount, if it is excess or deficient then it also affects the hair adversely.

If you have been suffering from diseases like fever, flu or there are deficiency in your diet then also you become prone to losing hair. Using chemotherapy weakens the hair and it breaks very easily.
