What Causes Hair Loss?

Who doesn’t want to have thick, glossy hair? I bet no one does. In my opinion, nothing could be more humiliating for a man or a woman than losing his/her hair. After all, our hair is our crowning glory. A few years ago, my brother suffered from a medical condition known as alopecia areata, sudden hair loss that results in bald spots in various areas of the scalp. That’s primarily because of stress; he was having a hard time landing a good job back then. He eventually had to seek treatment for his hair loss problem.

Have you ever wondered what causes hair loss? A number of factors can cause hair loss including heredity, stress, hormonal problems, thyroid disorders, major surgeries, and certain medications. It’s important to get to the root of the problem to find a cure for hair loss. In the case of my brother, the affected scalp skin was injected with steroids, and they worked! What about you?
