People encountering hair loss are seeking for a cure—a lot of people try to disguise thinning hair by wearing hats, caps, wigs and scarves. They often try to hide the traces of hair loss in the public. The current strategies for hair restoration recommend medications such as minoxidil and finasteride which can have unintended and unpleasant side effects. Other strategies include hair transplantation.
The most common cause of hair loss is Androgenic Alopecia or male pattern baldness. This accounts for 96% hair loss in men and is usually genetic. Androgenic Alopecia is also the most common cause in women where it produces diffuse thinning.
Hormone disorders, such as thyroid disorders, pregnancy, autoimmune disease, nutritional deficits, such as iron deficiency and traction alopecia which is too tight ponytails or braids, along with certain medications can all add to hair loss. Hair loss risk factors include too little iron and protein, weight loss or weight gain, smoking, certain medications, physical or emotional stress and over-styling.
