Hair loss

Hair loss is normally due to a combination of factors happening at the same time, and usually takes place over a long period, maybe years, but not always. In some cases alopecia can be attributed to a single factor that comes right out of the blue and plays havoc with your system resulting in 'over night' baldness.

Thankfully these occurrences are rare and generally manage to right themselves without any treatment involved. The main reason for hair loss is imbalance. Imbalance put simply is when your body is not coping with certain changes as it should; changes that may affect your hair and also
your health.

There are three main types of imbalances that cause hair loss:

a) Chemical Imbalance:

A chemical imbalance is when the body contains too much, or not enough of a particular chemical. An example of that is sebum; if too much sebum builds up in the hair it becomes oily. On the other hand, if not enough is secreted by the sebaceous glands the hair will become too dry and brittle.

Hormonal imbalances would also be placed under this category. The hair relies on certain types of hormones to stimulate and regulate growth. When they are not balanced, the hair may suffer.

b) Physical Imbalance:

This is typically related to hair maintenance and styling techniques and often is known as 'self harming'. Certain hairstyles such as cornrows or perms can cause damage if done frequently or incorrectly. Pulling the hair tightly causes strain and breakage; a simple example of this could be your hair parting. Always having the same style and same parting can lead to that area becoming thin and weak.

Using the wrong combs and brushes and using harsh shampoos or dyes can also cause hair fall. The chemicals contained in most products greatly harm the scalp and general condition when used over a long period of time.

c) Mental Imbalance

It may seem a bit extreme to say that a mental imbalance will cause problems but there is proof that stress has a damaging effect on the health of the entire body including the hair. Also traumatic events such as the loss of a loved one, an accident or bad illness are known to cause rapid hair fall.

If you already suffer with hair loss and then add stress into the equation your condition will become even worse because of the dual combination of your original hair problem and the new problem of stress - A double whammy!
