Hair Loss - The most common cause of hair loss is a shift in the growth or life cycle. In other words, some of your is growing, and some of it has ceased growing completely. Most hairs have a life expectancy of three to six years. These hairs will go into a resting stage for three months then fall out, and then new hair is produced from the same roots. A certain amount of hair loss is normal, for example, cats and dogs shed hair everywhere without going bald.

We normally will shed 50-100 hairs every day. There are a whole host of life events that can cause changes in your hair, for example, in women birth control pills, pregnancy, and the menopause. These can all affect hair loss or growth conditions, as can rapid weight loss, severe dandruff, iron deficiency, and lack of proteins as mentioned above.

A lack of these will also cause hair loss, just as a serious physical illness or stress can trigger a dramatic loss of hair. In most cases this is usually only temporary, and only occurs in extreme cases. However, hair loss, particularly when it occurs at the crown is usually genetic, but contrary to popular belief, hereditary baldness is not only a male problem, as women can inherit this hair loss problem from their parents as well.

Hair loss takes such an emotional toll on people, especially women, although both women and men usually invest a great deal of time on their appearance. Although hair loss is not something that we are going to die from, it really can affect our self-esteem considerably.

To date there is not a complete cure for hair loss and baldness, but paying attention to diet and eating the proper nutrients can contribute greatly to slowing hair loss down. As well as looking after your diet when it comes to your hair, you should also get your hair trimmed regularly.

This will help to make your hair look thicker and more groomed. Have your hair styled to suit your features and remember never to be afraid of experimenting with change. At worst, if you do not like the new style it will grow out fairly quickly.

It is always better to go to the hairdressers with some idea of what you want, and it could help to take pictures of styles you have seen in a magazines. The hairdresser will thank you for this, as he or she is not psychic and cannot read your mind.

I am thinking particularly of the ladies here, but for men I would suggest that if you are losing your hair, or have balding patches, it is best to keep it as short a possible.
