What produces hair loss?
The general medical term for hair loss is "Alopecia". This disease has many
different causes. Normally human hairs have different
phases of growth. The growing stage of hair is called "anagen”, while the sleeping stage is called "telogen"
The total amount of hair in the human scalp is divided into 2 groups: growing hair (about 80%) and sleeping hair (about 20 %)
An average human scalp normally contains about 100 thousands
hairs. Normally the amount of hair that can be lost daily is about 100.
Hair growth doesn't depend on additional factors like shaving
or menstruation.

There are several general types of hair loss. For the purposes of our
discussion, we will dwell on a question of male-pattern hair loss. It usually begins
in the 20s or early 30s by gradual loss of hair, mainly on the top
of the head. Male-pattern hair loss is the
most frequently encountered type but the exact mechanisms are still unknown.
Most likely the responsible reasons are inherited factors
and male hormones effect on the hair.

Does stress causes hair loss?
Stress isn't a factor for hair loss— but it can make your situation worse.

, however, temporary factors and returns completely.

How is DHT involved in hair loss?
DHT stands for dihydrotestosterone, the active form of the male
hormone testosterone. Scientists have ascertained that high DHT levels in
genetically predisposed hair follicles initiate baldness. Finasteride (hair restoration products) blocks the
formation of active testosterone. It allows the hair which is predisposed to
inactivity to become active again and make new hairs.

Does hair loss depend on genetics?
Genetics plays an important role in male-pattern hair loss. This influence is
polygenic, that means that there is more than one factor at work. Scientists still don't know
who can predispose descendants to greater risks - an affected mother or an affected father.

What is known about young adults hair loss?
Male-pattern hair loss typically
begins from the 20s and early 30s, but it can occur as early as 15. If the parents have had problems with hair loss at an early age, it may increase the risk for this to occur
in descendants. Two other forms of hair loss, alopecia areata and telogen effluvium, can occur in one year old children.
There are also several other precipitating factors that may be involved.

What is the reason of a sudden loss of a large amount of hair?

Do any hair products like shampoo cause hair loss?
Hair loss may be caused not by shampoo but an allergic reaction to any constituent in shampoo. Additional hair products like Caustic hair dyes or straighteners can certainly cause inflammation of the
scalp which will result in hair loss.

What hairstyle can contribute to hair loss?
Certain hairstyles can cause hair to fall out, for example styles
involving tight braids or pull-backs. This problem is called
traction alopecia. This type of alopecia occurs when the hair is pulled back tightly and
fastened at the base of the skull, or braided into tight braids or rows.
If you keep this type of hairstyle over long periods, this can result in a
scarring alopecia, with no potential for regrowth.
