Welcome to the Hair Loss Advice Guide

Nearly six out of ten men have the problem of hair loss. Every person can have this problem irrespective of age and sex.

But in some people, after hair falls it doesn’t re-grow giving rise to hair loss and finally baldness. Hair loss is mostly seen in men, but can also affect women. There are several causes of hair loss.

Hormones are mostly the reason for hair loss. In men the reason for baldness is generally due to abnormal secretion of thyroid gland hormones. Abnormal androgen and estrogen levels cause hair loss in both sexes. Generally these causes are treated with steroid or hormone injections.

Hair loss takes place mainly due to stress and mental tensions. Hair loss in men is generally hereditary and generally leads to baldness. Hair can be regained again with proper medication and surgery. Baldness doesn’t occur at the first stage itself. At first the hair becomes thin, stops growing and after that leads to baldness.
