What Causes Hair Loss?
Causes
Men and women can begin losing their hair in patches or through thinning or shedding. It happens for various reasons, and some cases, hair loss is harmless.
Hair loss may be the effect of underlying health conditions like diseases, nutritional imbalances, hormonal changes, pregnancy, weight loss, or stress. Medical hair loss may be due to conditions like lupus, alopecia areata, a dysfunctional thyroid or trichotillomania. Or it may be the result treatments for diseases, as is the case with chemotherapy and radiation therapies.
Nearly 50% of men and women suffer from androgenic hair loss or Androgenic Alopecia (AGA), also known as Male or Female Pattern Hair Loss. It is caused by androgens in genetically susceptible people. It is characterized by progressive loss of terminal hair of the scalp any time after puberty.

Many men and women find that nutrient deficiencies can cause hair loss. Eating a healthy diet can help to alleviate thinning hair. Often, these deficiencies can be monitored by your physician and addressed through diet changes, along with the use of appropriate supplements.
Telogen effluvium hair loss happens when the hair begins to stop growing prematurely. The strands of the hair fail to grow as they should, resulting in very fine, straggly hair along with areas of thinning. It is caused by various factors such as stress, trauma, pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss, medicines, and hormonal changes. Once the cause of this hair loss has been diagnosed and treated, the hair loss can be reversed, and normal hair regrowth and hair recovery will occur.
Trichotillomania hair loss occurs due to external factors such as hair spinning and hair-pulling. These activities can damage the hair to the degree that it fails to regrow.
We offer a private and professional environment with one-on-one service to educate and assist our clients with identifying the best hair loss solutions to help them look and feel like themselves again.
