Condition of Premature Hair fall and its Causes?

To begin with a remedial measure for hair treatment understanding the cause of hair fall is very important. All thinning mane problems or baldness are not the same. They may have been caused by various factors and to assess this is quite important for the success of the treatment.

The common condition where in a person experiences extreme hair fall condition is known as telogen effluvium. At times, he can see handful of hair in telogen effluvium condition. This is commonly seen post pregnancy, surgery, chemotherapy, stress, lack of proper diet, physical trauma, thyroid problems, chronic illness and hormonal deficiency too.

Telogen effluvium is caused due to:

Hormonal imbalance - this is quite evident in pregnant women, menopausal condition, birth control oral contraceptives etc. These hormonal imbalances may be corrected by what is known as the hormonal therapy.

Stress can be two types: emotional and physical stress. Both are bad for your mane problems and may cause changes in your weight too. Emotional factors include mental disorder, death in the family, medical surgery and other illness.

Thyroid problems - these also bring about hormonal imbalance and lead to similar conditions. Baldness and weight gain are common symptoms of people suffering from thyroid problems.

Crash diet: Not providing your body the essential nutrients such as protein, iron and other essential minerals may be the cause for baldness and thinning mane problems. Avoid such crash diet and supplement food rich in minerals, iron and protein. Green leafy vegetables, fruits and iron tablets must be consumed regularly.

Hair growth occurs in a cycle which is divided into three phases: a growth phase, a regression phase and a resting phase. In case of telogen effluvium it prematurely goes to resting phase. It appears to affect more women than men because more of the precipitating event such as childbirth are experienced by women.

Hair fall is more than normal and most noticeable when you wash your hair. However, your scalp and the remaining hair look healthy. You will not have patches of hair loss (bald patches), but rather a generalised thinning.

One of the keys to caring for and protecting your hair is first understanding how it's structured. When you use ironing machines it loses it natural bonding and in order to rebond them and to prevent them from getting brittle, you must use a serum post ironing. This is not advisable at all for those already suffering from hair fall problem, ironing is meant for those with normal tresses.
