Hair can enhance a person’s beauty and is considered the best and most convenient way to refashion one’s looks. Our tresses are as important as our five sensory organs and losing them can be quite a harrowing experience. Contrary to popular belief, hair fall can not only affect adults, but also children and adolescents. Science has progressed quite a lot and over the years trichologists have discovered many causes of hair loss. A few causes are stress, incorrect eating habits, and pollution.

Scientists have found a certain hair loss pattern among men and women. Men start losing hair near their temporal area, which results into a receding hairline while the pattern in women can vary. Women tend to lose hair more uniformly and as a result can get thinning hair.It is normal to lose 80 – 100 strands a day, however losing more than that can be cause for worry. It is important to see a trichologist and identify the correct cause. Excessive chemical treatments done to the hair can result in hair loss. It is important to maintain a gap of 3 months between each chemical process.Blow drying can also cause hair loss and should be usually avoided except of course in case of emergencies. It is always good to get one’s hair naturally dried instead of resorting to artificial procedures. If blow drying is absolutely essential the heat should be set on a low temperature. Ceramic straightening irons should be used instead of aluminum ones to avoid excessive hair loss.

Hair colors can be another cause of hair loss and it is important to use one that is free of ammonia. It is great to use natural henna to color one’s hair. It also strengthens the hair giving it a natural sheen. It is always important to eat the right food, which is healthy and nutritious. Almonds are a good source of vitamin E, which strengthens the hair. It is advisable to consult a professional in matters of hair loss.
