• 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.

I have a client with hair transplants. He first did it 2 years ago and he added more 3 months ago. He spent $5,000 the first time and $2,000 the second.

Here goes…

(1) It depends on what clinics you go to.

Some clinics charge $5 some $6 and some $7 per hair that they transplant. If you are in a late stage of hair loss then, you’ll probably have to transplant more hair. Sometimes up to 1,500 hairs.

(2) Occasionally, if the doctor is not that experienced you’ll have hairs that won’t "stay" in your head.
Hair usually does though. And after about 2 to 3 days you’ll feel better, no discomfort etc.

(3) Hair loss is caused mainly by this thing called 5-Alpha Reductase which strangles your hair at the root and kills it. Blocking it is one way to stop hair loss, you do this by using 5-AR blockers. Or, if too many of your hair has been killed off, then you’ll have to consider hair transplant.

Chemotherapy was designed to kill off any and all fast growing cells in the body . . since the majority of normal cells grow slowly and replace old cells continuously, the idea was that chemotherapy would target and kill fast growing cancer cells. Unfortunately the body has a few other fast growing cells . . hair cells grow fast and some cells in the intestinal track also grow fast . . the chemotherapy cannot tell the difference between these few ‘normal’ fast growing cells and cancer cells so it destroys all of them.

The reason for the hair loss is because the chemo will kill off cancer cells as well as hair cells. The good news is that the hair cells will grow back after the treatment is over . . so hair loss is temporary. The loss of hair temporarily is a small price to pay for your life.

If the medicine you are taking for your thyroid is making your hair worse. You should stop taking it and switch to alternative herbal medicine such as Kelp, a sea vegetable that has a rich source of iodine and vitamin K. It also promotes healthy thyroid function. It helps me and I am not taking any conventional medicine. Keep taking Biotin, it keeps your hair on your head. Also Vitamin B6 is thought to prevent hair from falling out and help create melanin in the hair. Eating right for your blood type and super food such as raw vegan will help bring your thyroid back to normal. I’ve done it and it works.
