  Hair Loss Causes:
Age:
 

Age is the factor that is found to affect the hair growth in lot of men. Old and middle age men are found mostly to be suffering with the hair loss problem. But, nowadays even the cases of hair loss are being noted to be increasing in young men. Still in comparison to the old men the chances of hair loss in young men are less. Nearly 70% of the old and middle age men suffer with the problem of the male pattern baldness. Generally the hair loss is noted after the age of 30 years. Age is the main factor that influences the hair growth, after 40 years of age the hair growth of the person is slowed downed a lot.

   
Hormonal Imbalance :
 

Hormonal imbalance causes hair loss in men. Hair growth is dependent upon the testosterone levels in the body. If you are having the insufficient amount of the testosterone in the body, then it is certain that you will face the hair loss problem. One of the major reasons for the testosterone deficiency in the body is the disturbance in the production of the testosterone due to the some abnormal health problem. Other reason for presence of less testosterone in the body is the conversion of the testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This happens due to the activity of the enzyme alpha 5 reductase that is present in excessive amount in the body. Hormonal imbalance is the reason for maximum hair loss problems observed

   
Hereditary :
 

Hereditary disorder is the problem that is inherited from one generation to another by the genes. Hair loss is noted to be hereditary problem as per the research studies. If your father is bald then you are double the times prone to the hair loss problem. Many scientists have claimed through the research studies that hair loss is dependent on certain genes that switch the trigger of hair fall once a person reaches certain age. Genes responsible for the male hair loss have been mapped, but the genes particularly responsible for the male pattern baldness for transfer from one to another generation are not being trapped. But, no need to worry about hereditary hair loss problem because there are treatments available to cure the hair loss caused by any reasons.

Prolonged illness :
 

Prolonged illness has been associated with the baldness in men. Specifically the diseases like cancer, diabetes, and even typhoid have been linked to the hair loss problem in the men. These disease cut down the nutrient supply to the hairs; this makes the hairs thin and results in the breaking of the hairs. Even new hair growth is retarded as the no adequate amount of the food supply is available. Even heart diseases problem is being related to the hair loss problem in men. Majority of the times it has been noted that any prolonged illness affects the hair growth in men.

Skin diseases :
 

Some skin disease, specifically those caused by the bacteria affects the hairs considerably. The inflammation caused by these infections damages and scars the hair follicle. This way the hairs grip from the basement weakens and they start falling. Even the new hair growth is being retarded. Skin conditions like lichen planus and lupus erythematosus damage hairs a lot. You need to take care of your hairs properly in order to stay away from hair loss due to these skin diseases. Complete baldness can occur due to these skin infections within the short span of time. Scalp infections such as ringworm destroy the skin of your scalp. This leads to the hair loss.

Excessive hairstyling :
 

When you hairstyle your hairs it is done through some process. In this method of hairstyling involved is the straitening of hairs or pulling of hairs. This type of pulling of hairs weakens the hair grip and promotes the hair loss. Even the permanent damage to the root of hairs is noticed due to the excessive hairstyling. This type of male pattern baldness is termed as traction alopecia. The chemical used for dying, coloring, or styling the hairs also are hazardous the scalp. The hair loss is triggered due to these chemicals. Non-repairable damage is caused through these type of chemicals overuse.

Poor nutrition:
 

Nutrition must be proper for the good hair growth. All the body functions are dependent on the amount of the nutrition in the body; hair growth is no exception to it. If you are having the lesser amount of the proteins or iron in the body then you are certainly suffer with the hair loss problem. Poor nutrition is the most underlying cause of hair loss. To any treatment to be affective for the hair loss treatment, the first thing would be to improve the nutrition otherwise you may fail to see the hair regrowth effect.

Severe radiation :
 

If you are getting exposed to the too much of the radiation on daily basis, then your hairs are no longer stronger. This will give rise to a hair loss problem. The men who work continuously on everyday basis in the sun face the problem of hair loss very easily. Sun light contains some ultraviolet radiations that are harmful for the hairs. These harmful radiations burn the outer coating of the hairs and make them dry. Sometimes even the hair becomes grayish, which later on break very easily. Hair loss is caused prominently in the men who roam in sunlight much, so avoid making unnecessary trips specifically in the afternoon as sunlight is really very strong during this time.

Unnecessary oiling of hairs :
 

Oil is good for hairs, but using it in excess cause the harm to hairs. You need to understand that unnecessary oiling of hairs damages the hairs. Excessive oiling of hairs blocks the pores of scalp and thus reduces the hair growth. This makes the hair roots asphyxiated. Thus, the new hair growth is retarded. You need to remove the oil properly form the hairs otherwise it becomes wax-like. This clogs the pores on the skin and creates the problems in the hair regrowth. Only few hairs manage to grow out of these pores. This way the hair loss is promoted and bald areas are formed.

Stress and Tensions :
 

Stress and Tensions leads to the hair loss in the person. If you are suffering with the stress problem then it is certainly going to put the impact on your overall health. Stress and tensions affects the nervous system of the person. The nervous system fails to provide the nutrient supply signal to the brain this way the hairs become weak and they start falling. The effect of stress and tensions is not seen immediately on hairs, you will notice the effect may be after 3 to 4 months. Due to the stress the hair growth phase of the body is retarded or disturbed that leads to the problem in the hair growth.

This method is recommended only to those who can afford it and to those who have failed to achieve hair regrowth from all other hair loss treatments.
