As a part of our life some hair shed every day. Some people experience a high level of hair loss and later it result to baldness. The pattern of hair growth and loss in men and women is different. The different factors affect the loss of hair. Some causes for the loss of hair is the hormonal imbalances.  If the thyroid gland is overactive or under active it will lead to hair falls. If the number of hair that we loss in a day is about 100, then there is no problem. If it is more than that then we have to take care of it.

If the male and female hormone is out of balance then it also will cause hair loss. The level of androgen and estrogens in human being should be in correct level. In women’s after the pregnancy there is some variation of hormones and after 3 months from child birth their hair start falling excessively.

Sometimes the medicines also cause hair fall. But when we stop taking the medicines it stops and start growing normally. The medicine used for gout, blood pressure, birth control pills etc will affect the growth of hair. They contain drugs that reduce the growth of hair.

 The over styling is another cause for hair loss. Hair coloring, hair straightening and perking give a negative effect, because these treatments use chemicals and excessive heat. Chemicals and over heat will affect the normal growth. In youngsters because of the tension and stress we can see hair loss. When we are under tension the hormones will produce excessively and affect the growth.
Some infections also cause hair loss. The fungal infection causes hair loss in children these diseases can be treated with antifungal medicine. The dandruff is another cause for the hair loss. The proper care of hair will reduce the amount of hair loss. We have to nourish the hair for active hair follicles. This will prevent the hair loss up to some extent.
