There are several causes for hair loss; here are some of the major causes of hair fall.

Family ancestry can also be a reason to hair loss because of heredity. Another major reason for hair fall would be because of Hormonal Imbalance. This happens if we do not consume nutritious food like fresh fruits and vegetables, high protein grains etc. There are certain situations when you would even start losing hair due sudden illness and infectious diseases too.

It is also proven that smoking could increase the level of major androgenic hormones in the body, such as DHEA, androstenedione, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone most closely linked to hair loss. Therefore the rate at which hair falls off is increased due to smoking.

Consumption of red meat on a day today basis can also increase the rate of hair loss as they contain Black grams since these are DHT activators and therefore induce hair loss.

We tend to use hair dryers, hair gel, hair spray and several other cosmetics to our hair which causes a great damage to our hair. If such cosmetics are applied our hair would lose it natural form and would be prone to breakage easily. Any hairstyle that’s puts a lot of pressure on the hair like tight ponytails, curlers and if elastic bands and hair clips are tight over your hair strands could also affect your hair and damage them.

These are some of the ways by which you could lose your hair. Take proper care and if needed, even consult a dermatologist for further help.

The reason as to why we lose hair during summer is because we sweat a lot during summer, the pores on the surface of the skin spread to release sweat. Our hair becomes weak at that time and is more prone to falling off. Along with hair loss you might also experience itching and irritation on your scalp. This could make you scratch your head which could cause hair fall to get much worse.

So, there are a few procedures that you could follow to prevent hair loss during summer. One of the simple things that you could do is take a shower every day. Whenever you get back home after a long day’s work make sure you take a shower and rinse your hair and scalp, so that the dirt gets removed from your scalp completely. But make sure you use a mild shampoo and hair conditioner because if you wash your hair a lot, it might cause breakage and your hair might lose the natural oil produced by the oil gland.

And another way of preventing hair loss is by protecting your head or hair from getting into contact with sunlight. You could simply do this by wearing a cap; women could get stylish umbrellas too or they could even wear a scarf.

Summer season could trouble you by causing a lot of hair fall, but it is proven that during summer your hair grows at a faster pace. During summer the blood circulation in our body is much more efficient than in winter or any other season. The reason is because of the warm weather our body heat increases and our body needs to work at a faster rate to reduce the body temperature. And when our body works at a faster pace, the cells in our body also develop quickly. Similarly, the cells in our hair also develop at a faster rate and thus, hair growth is improved.

Make sure you take the required precautions to avoid hair loss. Hair growth during summer could be impacted in both, good and bad ways. It is a natural process that takes place and we could reduce the damage done by taking proper care.
