Common Causes of Hair Loss And What You Should Know!

Shedding hair is a natural process and allows for new hair growth on the scalp. For men worried about excessive hair loss, the barbers and professional stylists at Classic Barber Shop in Carmel, Indiana can help you understand common causes of hair loss.

While genetics can play a role in hair loss, stress is also a common reason for increased hair loss.Research is ongoing to discover the exact mechanism of how stress impacts normal hair growth. Scientists say it may be linked to the network of nerves that surround hair follicles and any disruptions in normal nerve cell signals trigger changes in hair growth.

Thyroid hormones also play a major role in hair growth. Disruptions in thyroid levels can be a cause of hair loss. Either too little or too much thyroid hormones can switch hair follicles into a dormant state, slowing hair growth.

Poor nutrition is another cause of hair loss. Without the proper vitamins, proteins and other nutrients, normal hair growth decreases and leads to hair loss. A healthy diet includes protein rich foods like meat, eggs, fish and natural oils. If you or your barber or stylist detects a noticeable change in your hair loss see a doctor.
