Those who have it are lucky. Those who don’t have it are out of luck. Those who lose it do everything possible to keep it. Of course, we are talking about hair. Although many men blame genetics for their bald scalp, the problem lies much deeper.

Of course, genes play a huge role in hair lossbut there are many other factors that will ensure you lose your hair prematurely.

Reason #1: Tight braids and tails

Some hairstyles that were previously considered purely feminine are becoming popular among men. Tight tails, braids and dreadlocks can also cause hair loss.

Constant «tightening» of hair leads to its weakening, and then to its loss. This phenomenon is more noticeable along the hairline. The same can be observed in people who like to wear hats. Hair covered with a hat weakens and begins to fall out.

Reason number 2: Constant combing and stroking

Are you one of those people who are constantly combing their hair with their fingers? Maybe now it’s just a habit, but over time you may develop bald spots.

If you get rid of this habit in time, the hair will grow back. But if you do not stop, bald spots will become your constant companions. Maybe it’s time to get a new habit?

Reason #3: Problems with the thyroid gland

The thyroid gland is very small and is located in the neck. It plays a huge role in the production of hormones. If it does not produce enough hormone, hypothyroidism occurs, that is causes hair lossand not only on the head.

Hypothyroidism can be congenital, the result of surgery or disease.

Reason #4: Autoimmune diseases

Very rarely, autoimmune diseases do not cause hair loss. In autoimmune diseases, the immune system destroys healthy cells. When it begins to kill the cells responsible for hair growth, hair begins to fall out and bald spots appear.

Reason #5: Infections

There are many infections that can cause hair loss. And many of these infections can be prevented by keeping your hair and scalp clean.

Reason #6: Chemotherapy

Cancer cells divide much faster than healthy cells, which is why chemotherapy is so effective.

Unfortunately, chemotherapy, together with cancer cells, also destroys healthy ones, which also divide a little faster than others, for example, cells in hair follicles. Chemotherapy almost always causes hair lossbut the good news is that the hair will grow back!

Reason #7: Medications

Not only chemotherapy, but also other medications can cause hair loss. This list also includes birth control pills, drugs for the treatment of the thyroid gland, epilepsy, and the cardiovascular system. If you notice that you are losing more hair than usual, review the frequency and dosage of drug use.

Reason number 8: Lack of vitamins and minerals

There are many reasons for the lack of vitamins and minerals: improper diets, change of season, starvation … But whatever it is, it causes hair loss. The good news is that you can fix this problem yourself.

Make sure your the body receives a sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals and soon the situation will improve significantly.

Reason #9: Stress

Several physical or psychological stresses can have strange effects on the body. They cause the production of hormones that affect different people in different ways. One of the reactions is hair loss.

Reason #10: Male pattern baldness

There is no way we can decide the most common hair loss problem.

Male pattern baldness occurs when with age, the hair follicle changes and dries up. There are many ways to prevent baldness, but none of them gives the desired effect. So, in the end, we are all victims of genetics.
