Most women dream of having long luscious locks. But hair woes like hair fall, thinning and lifeless strands keep getting in the way of this dream. While it is okay to lose up to 100 strands of hair in a day, the problem arises when your hair doesn’t grow back at the same rate.
Facing a similar issue? DW, we’re here to help. Here are five sneaky reasons that could be causing you hair to fall out and how to treat them…
High levels of stress can tamper with your natural hair growth cycle. Hence, it’s necessary to destress and unwind from time to time. You can exercise, practise yoga or meditation or simply take a walk every morning to calm your mind.
Nutritional deficiencies
Protein deficiencies can result in hair loss. Hair growth requires protein, but when your body isn’t getting enough, it channels these proteins to other, more important functions. Include more protein-rich foods or supplements in your diet and watch your hair growth return to normal within a few months.
PCOD/PCOS
Do you have an irregular period cycle? Does your weight keep fluctuating at slightest change? If yes, chances are that you most likely suffer from PCOD or PCOS which affects the normal functioning of your ovaries. It causes hormonal imbalance, which leads to major hair fall. It increases the production of androgens or male hormones that shorten the life span of your hair growth cycle leading to hair loss.
Extreme weight loss
If your body notices sudden and extreme weight loss, it automatically treats this is a trauma situation and prevents the essential nutrients from reaching the non-essential tissues and, unfortunately, your scalp is one of them. This results in hair loss. Always follow a healthy weight loss program and avoid crash diets by all means.
Pregnancy or childbirth
Your hair usually looks really amazing all through your pregnancy because of the surge of all the good hormones. But chances are that you could experience some serious hair fall right after childbirth. This is a very common condition called postpartum hair loss and happens because of hormonal imbalance. You can include a hair growth vitamin in your diet for longer, stronger hair.
