Good Vitamins for Hair

Let's look at some potential causes for hair loss and some available options:

Hair Loss and Its Causes

• Stress from an illness or major surgery can cause hair loss
• An overactive or under-active thyroid can cause hair loss
• Male or female hormones out of balance can cause hair loss
• Women may notice hair loss about 3 month after giving birth - high levels of hormones during pregnancy cause the body to keep hair that would normally fall out.
• Some medications - such as blood thinners, gout treatment medications, chemotherapy medicines, birth control pills, antidepressants and Vitamin A (if too much is taken) can cause hair loss.
• Some infections can cause hair loss, i.e. fungal infections of the scalp.
• Hair loss might be caused by an underling disease such as diabetes or lupus.
• Poor nutrition - having in adequate protein or iron in your diet and poor nutrition in other ways may lead to hair loss
• Fad diets - with all the crazy diet programs out there it?s possible you could have poor nutrition which can lead to hair loss.

Improper Care of Your Hair Can Also Lead to Hair Loss

• Pigtails or cornrows put stress on the scalp due to the pulling. Scaring of the scalp can occur it the pulling is too much. Scaring of the scalp will cause permanent hair loss.
• Chemicals used in dyeing, tinting, bleaching, straightening or perming can cause hair loss. Typically they may cause swelling of the hair follicle, which may result in scaring and hair loss.
