Hair loss…what’s the story?

Hair loss can happen to anyone – men, women and children.  Some people may allow their hair loss to run its course while others may use scarves, hats or medical interventions to deal with it. Excessive hair loss from the scalp may result in baldness.

Prevention Hair loss that is caused by medicines, stress, lack of protein or iron, or hair care may be prevented. Avoiding certain medicines, reducing stress, getting adequate protein and iron in your diet, and using hairstyles that do not damage your hair may reduce or prevent hair loss. Inherited hair loss cannot be prevented.  images courtesy of: - mommyadventures.net - alotofduffysfilms.com - sunnyhealth.blogspot.com - belgraviacentre.com
