Firstly let’s discuss the causes of hair loss. A number of things can cause excessive hair fall like
- Long illness or post surgery.
- Thyroid gland being overactive or under active.
- Having too much tea, coffee, deep fried food, spicy or sour food or smoking excessively can also increase acidity in the body and cause hair loss.
- Use of some medicines (especially without medical consultation) can cause hair loss too, as can some infections.
- Low blood circulation can also cause hair loss as the scalp does not receive adequate nourishment. Anemia and general weakness should be a telling sign.
- Typhoid and some other diseases can also cause sudden excessive hair fall.
- Stress, tension, anxiety are well-known causes.
- Heredity can also be an important factor.
- Hair loss can occur due to excessive shampooing and blow drying too.
- Hair loss can be caused due to habits like compulsive hair pulling (trichotillomania) or rubbing the scalp harshly.
- Inadequate intake of vitamins and food with high nutritional value.

HELP! allergists please…how might allergy to gluten affect hairloss?
would an allergy to gluten cause hairloss? this has been ongoing for several years and is still, even after some hormonal and thyroid treatment by so-called specialists…so i’m now exploring other possible causes of hairloss. help please
Hair loss associated with gluten would not be an allergy. It would actually mean that you have celiac disease which is an autoimmune disorder where your body cannot process gluten properly. It means that when you consume foods with gluten in them your body reacts to it as foreign and tries to attack it, ultimately destroying your villi (nutrient absorbing projections in your small intestine). The reason why celiac disease might result in hair loss is because your body is not receiving all the nutrients from your food like it should. When I was in high school, this is what happened to me. I just recently finally got diagnosed with celiac disease. Do some research online – just type in celiac disease, if you feel like you might have some symptoms, go to your Doctor and get the blood tests. They will eventually have to do a biopsy from your small intestines to diagnose you for sure, but the blood tests show them signs of needing a biopsy. The only cure for celiac disease is a VERY strict diet of no gluten. Gluten is found in everything: bread, pasta, soy sauce, most packaged food, canned soup, beer, some liquor…it is not easy, but it will save your life refraining from it, if you have the disease. Also, if you think you have symptoms of this – DO NOT get off gluten yet. You will have to be consuming gluten for the tests to show up correctly.
Hope that helped.
Do cancer medication cause hair loss?
And if so can anyone tell me what medications do besides chemotherapy?
Since cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells, chemo targets or attacks fast growing/dividing cells. Hair cells divide fast and are fast growing, and so are sperm cells, which is why chemo can make your hair fall out and render you sterile for a while.
I can’t tell you any other cancer medications off the top of my head, but I’d imagine that the same principle would apply. Cancer medications would probably be intended to slow down or halt the rapid, uncontrolled cell growth, and hair loss would be a probable side effect.
I’m 26 years old, it seems like my hair is thinning on top, what measures can I take to prevent hair loss?
My father, who’s almost 50 years old, said he started experiencing a similar situation around my age but he would rigorously massage his scalp when showering. He claims by doing so you’re allowing more oxygen to your hair thus keeping it from falling out. I bought a head massager which I began using. Also a bottle of biotin, and try to massage my scalp better when showering. Is there any other proven remedy? Thank you

Have you or anyone you know, had a successful hair transplant?
I’m wondering if they really work or not and how much would someone with moderate hair loss cost?
Im on day 5 after mine… It cost me $2400 and included 1000 grafts using the strip harvest method.. Obviously since its only been 5 days, I cant say if it works or not but I havent heard alot of stories of the hair not coming in to any large degree. When I was doing my research one of the big considerations was the texture of the new hair. The texture of the hair on the sides and back of my head is somewhat coarser than what (remained) on the front and back.. Something else that concerned me was that the little grey hair that I have (Im 28) is mostly located in the donor area and if its grey when its moved from the sides of your head, it will be grey when it comes in on the transplanted site. Again this depends on you and can be fixed with hair color.. One other thing the clinic told me is that sometimes younger individuals (ie under 25) jump the gun a bit and go looking for a transplant before they really should… I personally would not reccommend them for very minor hair loss (try Minoxidil first… its far cheaper… $18 for a 3 month supply at wal mart)… Basically it just depends on your circumstances.
Whats the best hair loss pill??
i was bulimic so my hair is really fragile and has thinned. is there a hair pill i could take that would fix or help my hair?
No, they’re all fakes and rip-offs.
Get back on a good diet with proper nutrients, take good care of your hair, and hope for the best.
Good luck.
Canine Prednisone Causing Hairloss?
My 1 year old boxer has been diagnosed with Aseptic Menengitis and has been on Prednisone treatment for the last 2 months and will continue dosage for another 3 to 4 months. He’s been losing hair over the past month or so and has a few bald areas and a few thinning areas, is this a side effect of the prednisone? If so is there anyway to help with the amount of hair loss? Will his hair grow back once his treatment is done? Thanks in advance.
Yes, one of the side affects is poor coat. My beardie was on prednisone and it affected his coat drastically. Whether or not your dog’s coat will go back to normal depends a lot on how long he’s on the prednisone. Relatively short term his coat should come back. Also, your guy is only a year old, my dog was quite old when he was on it so his coat wasn’t what it was when he was younger.
How to create a science experiment based on my research topic?
My research topic is:
Why does chemotherapy cause hair loss?
No, I don’t need specific info on THAT topic.
After the research paper is written we will have to create an experiment based on that criteria.
Could anyone give me any ideas based on that topic of what to do for an experiment?
Track chemotherapy patients before and after chemo and patients who didn’t have chemo in the same time. Find some way to quantify how much hair they have and compare.
Does biotin help hair grow faster as well at making it healthy ?
So I’ve been searching the web for different answers now my hair is short and i want it to grow fast and so i bought hair skin and nail will it make my hair grow fast as well and making it healthier ?I’ve only heard of it getting healthy not any longer.Some people also said to take Nourishair or Hairtopia? whats really going to work.Also is there such a thing as to much of it or the more i take the better ?.And one last thing will it help weight loss?
Yes biotin is good for the hair. There is a vitamin at walmart that is good for your hair, i forget the exact name but I believe its the only vitamin complex there that treats hair. I don’t think ANY thing that helps the hair would promote weight loss. There is also a shampoo & conditioner duo thats called F.A.S.T. By NISIM. Search for it on google. It helps, it made my hair grown half an inch a month. They also come with vitamins that help too.
