We often browse online looking for remedies to prevent Hair fall but seldom do we try to understand the causes for hair loss. Those who are already suffering from hair fall / Alopecia can’t do much about it but those who are in the initial stages of hair loss can benefit by working on the causes of hair loss rather than looking for ways to prevent hair loss.

Here is a list of possible reasons resulting in hair fall:

1.       Tension or stress at work: Believe it or not tension or stress is a major reason for hair loss. Work over load, stress and friction can result in hair fall. So try and stay away from stress and tension. A good massage once in two to three weeks can help a lot in relieving tension.

2.       Poor diet: Second on the list is poor diet. Inadequate protein and vitamins can also effect you hair growth so take care to intake adequate proteins and vitamins. Lack of biotin is a major cause for hair fall, so do include plenty of green leafy vegetable in your diet. Other sources of biotin includes, cow’s milk, goat’s milk, walnut, almond, carrot, egg, strawberries, raspberries and vegetables such as onion, cabbage, cucumbers and cauliflowers.

3.       Exposure to Sun: Over exposure to sun can also be a major cause for hair loss. The UV rays can damage your hair and make it dull and brittle.

4.       Illness: When you are sick the body doesn’t get the required supply of vitamins and proteins which can cause hair fall.

5.       Use of Colorants/ dye: frequent use of colorants can also cause hair fall. 

6.       Bleaching of hair: In the modern world everyone wants to look trendy and stylish. You bleach your hair, you use coloring agents but all these can cause permanent damage to your hair roots. So avoid bleaching of your hair if want it healthy and long for years to come.

So these are the major reasons for hair loss, so work on it now instead of searching for ways to prevent hair loss later.
