Why is My Hair Falling Out?
While it is normal to lose about seventy-five strands of hair each day, many men and women wonder why they notice their hair falling out, at what seems to be a more noticeable rate. There are many reasons why hair falls out, including, but not limited to: normal daily shedding, genetics, stress, autoimmune disorders, and vitamin deficiencies. Fortunately, there are also methods of hair restoration that reverse hair loss when normal shedding becomes excessive.
Hair Shedding
Typically, shedding between fifty and one hundred strands of hair per day is normal. Anything beyond that is known as excessive shedding. Hair shedding can be categorized as telogen effluvium if it occurs for over six months. This type of shedding is generally reversible and usually has a particular cause – such as dramatic weight loss or stress.
Hair Loss
When shedding becomes excessive, hair loss can occur. It is important to consider all possible causes of hair loss and take the necessary steps to understand the cause in your own case. Information on the internet is vast and can be helpful, but we recommend seeing a hair loss specialist for best results.
Traditional causes of hair loss can be genetic or reactive. Genetic hair loss can be gradual and caused by hair follicles shrinking, which leads to shorter and finer hair. A personal event in one’s life can trigger reactive hair loss. This could be physical, such as pregnancy, or emotional, such as stress from a traumatic incident.
If you notice your hair falling out, it may be a sign of some type of deficiency. We recommend clients take the necessary steps to ensure they get the proper minerals, vitamins, and nutrients. Many of our clients have noticed improvements after treating deficiencies in iron, vitamin D3, vitamin B12, fish oil, and/or hormonal imbalances. We also offer a free consultation to discuss the best solutions for hair loss.
Hair Restoration
In some cases, treating the causes of hair loss will reverse the effects in and of itself. Most times, clients need a treatment to help restore hair after they’ve noticed their hair falling out. Considering all treatments available, there are many options to choose from. Most people don’t realize that many of the available treatments are not 100% effective, and often use unnatural methods. Many are extremely expensive.
If you’re looking for a drug to help with hair loss, there are over-the-counter medications available, such as Minoxidil, or prescription drugs, such as finasteride. These are also known as Rogaine and Propecia respectively. If you’re looking for a surgical treatment, hair transplants are available, and PRP is another medical option, but both can be extremely costly, painful, and are not guaranteed to work.
If you’re looking for a natural solution that has proven to be the most effective, we recommend Hair Follicle Rejuvenation Procedure™. This method is 100% natural and utilizes stem cell based cytokines to trigger hair growth.
Hair loss and hair shedding might be hard to differentiate. When you notice substantial hair loss or excessive shedding over a long period of time, you should seek medical attention. This way, you can be sure of the cause and proper treatment. Everyone’s situation is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution, especially when it comes to hair loss. Before recommending a solution for our clients, it’s critical to understand a person’s background. We like to learn about their history, when they noticed their hair falling out, and any existing medical conditions or diagnosis. All of these factors will have an impact on the treatment. If you’re interested, we offer a free consultation for first time clients.
