Hair Loss
Hair loss and thinning hair (alopecia) is a common problem that both men and women experience3.
There are many causes of alopecia that go beyond heredity thinning and male pattern baldness.
While daily shedding is normal, people who notice their hair falling out in large amounts after combing or brushing, or whose hair becomes thinner, should consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Certain illnesses can cause hair loss including; hypothyroidism, lupus, polycystic ovary syndrome and trichotillomania. And some medication and substances have an effect on the health of your hair follicles as well, such as antidepressants, blood thinners and anabolic steroids5.
