GENERAL DISEASE INFORMATION

While there are some types of hair loss that not preventable, such as inherited male pattern baldness, there are other types of hair loss that are responsive to hair loss prevention efforts. There are numerous reasons that people experience hair loss, and some of those ways are fairly simple to address.

Hormonal changes and nutrition are two things that have a great effect on hair health and loss. In many cases, if hair loss is related primarily to these factors, hair loss prevention is possible. Therefore, the first thing to do in such circumstances is to visit your health care provider and rule out illness, infection or disease, all of which can also cause hair loss. If an in-depth examination does reveal hormonal problems, there are medical options available to address the situation and your health care professional can help you choose the best course of action.

Nutrition is another thing that can have a serious influence on hair, more so than many realize. In fact, a diet that is consistently lacking in the proper nutrients can result in hair loss in and of itself, leaving aside the affect that nutritional deficiencies have on hormone production and vulnerability to illness and disease. Eating well is an important part of hair loss prevention.

Understanding proper hair care is another aspect of hair loss prevention. There are many styling techniques that are detrimental to the health of hair, such as chemical processes, including coloring, perming and straightening. Using quality hair care products does make a difference.

Hair loss happens for a variety of reasons. The action taken for hair loss prevention stands a better chance of being successful if you can directly address your specific hair loss circumstances. However, there are things you can do before hair loss happens to help prevent it, unless, of course, you are destined through genetics to go through the experience. Among the most important of these means of hair loss prevention is diet and hair care.
