Hair Loss - Tip #1

Do NOT buy a hair loss ‘solution’ before you have determined what has caused the problem.

There are a number of possible causes for hair loss and a doctor is the best person to speak with to determine exactly which it is. As a general rule, ageing and a hereditary pre-disposition to early hair loss accounts for 95 % of all hair loss cases. If you have experienced severe stress, trauma or undergone medical treatments that could have caused your hair loss too, in which case the condition is in most cases only temporary. A final reason is that you could have developed an immune system disorder that has resulted in some or all of your hair falling out. The bad news is that treatments for one condition do not always work if you have another condition. The good news is that most types of hair loss can be treated with a successful outcome.
