What Causes Hair Loss... And What You Can Do About It (other than buying a Corvette)

Are there any agreed upon factors on what causes hair loss? Causes of hair loss are natural shedding, health and genetics. Once you understand the reasons for your hair loss and have identified which one is the most likely culprit, it becomes easier to identify the correct treatment.

From there you can determine if Bio-Fen Plus™ capsules, Bio-Fen™ Revitalizing Shampoo, and Bio-Fen™ Stimulating Conditioner are good choices to maintain healthy looking or feeling hair.

Causes of Hair Loss Explained

Primary Causes of Hair Loss: Natural Shedding

Daily hair loss happens to all of us. It's a natural function of being human. Every day, we shed 100 – 200 hairs through brushing, combing, washing, styling, or just plain gravity.

In most people, those lost healthy-looking hairs are replaced by an equal number of brand new strands emerging from the hair follicle. But if hair re-growth is weak or the follicle is damaged or blocked, your hair gets thin and sparse. That's when you need to dig deeper to find the "root" causes of hair loss & hair damage.

Secondary Causes of Hair Loss: Health Factors

Environmental or health factors may be temporary causes of hair loss. They include things like surgery, pregnancy, drugs (such as chemotherapy), stressful work or family situations, dietary changes, sudden weight loss and hormonal fluctuations.

Hair loss due to temporary causes usually resolves once the casue is removed and hair growth usually returns to normal. So while these reasons for loss of healthy looking hair are very real, they are not a primary or permanent cause of baldness.

Tertiary Causes Hair Loss: Genetics

This is the biggie – the main cause. This hair loss can be traced to heredity. It starts even before you're born, when your genetic structure determines whether your follicles will eventually lose their ability to generate new hair growth.

An enzyme called 5-alpha reductase converts free testosterone into DHT, which inhibits hair production in the follicles over time, which leads to thinner and more fragile hair as you age.

This condition is known as androgenic alopecia (AGA), also called male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness. 5-alpha reductase causes hair loss.
