Losing Hair Too Fast?

When you notice a clump of hair on your comb or on your pillow, when you wake up in the morning, which is more than your daily hair fall, you may possibly be suffering from excessive, sudden and rapid hair loss.  The two main reasons that cause excessive, sudden and rapid hair loss are stress and genetic problem.

Majority of the sudden hair loss are found to be hereditary. It happens gradually but in large chunks. In this hereditary hair loss, the child inherits the genes responsible for the cause of excessive, sudden and rapid hair loss. Science also suggested that a child has greater chances to inherit the genes causing excessive, sudden and rapid hair loss from the mother.

Stress and anxiety also plays a major role in causing excessive, sudden and rapid hair loss. When a person suffers from stress or anxiety, the body experiences hormonal changes, which often leads to hair loss. Once the imbalanced hormonal changes has been balanced, normal growth of hair will return back to its natural form. In some cases, excess of DHT in our body also cause excessive, sudden and rapid hair loss. DHT is a chemical formed by the reaction of 5-alpha-reductase enzymes and testosterone hormone. The increase in level of DHT causes hair loss. This problem can be fixed by using DHT blocker available in the market. DHT blocker comes in the form of pills as well as shampoos. It works in such a way by preventing the reaction of 5-alpha-reductase enzymes and testosterone hormone.

Excessive, sudden and rapid hair loss is also found in cancer patients, who are undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Certain drugs used in chemotherapy acts on the new growing cells, which include hair follicles. This results in the damage of hair follicles, which in turn leads to loss of hair. There is no treatment for this kind of hair loss until the chemotherapy treatment is over. But in most cases, patients put ice pack on the scalp to reduce the circulation of blood, which they believed slowed down the speed of hair fall.

It is always necessary for a person to consult a doctor if he or she experiences excessive, sudden and rapid hair loss to determine the cause. Taking nutritious food also helps to cure excessive, sudden and rapid hair loss. The intake of biotin enhances the growth and development of hair.
