Excess Hair Loss Problem Doesn’t Always Mean You’re Balding (Here’s Why)

Hair loss is a condition that plagues hundreds of thousands of men and women. Losing your hair is not the same as going bald. Baldness is a genetic condition whereas other types of hair loss can be caused by any number of factors.
Your hair loss problem may be the result of a poor diet, a side effect of medication, a scalp infection, physical trauma, and/or significant and rapid weight loss. There are numerous reasons why you may experience hair loss, so before you turn on that buzzer and shave your head, consult with your doctor about other possible reasons for your hair loss problem.

Skin Disorders That May Have Caused Your Scalp To Suffer

There are several skin disorders and infections that may lead to a hair loss problem. These include but are not limited to:
  • Psoriasis
  • Yeast infections of the scalp
  • Ringworm of the scalp
  • Dandruff/dry skin on the scalp
  • Severe sunburn leading to flaking
  • Folliculitis – a skin condition that leads to an inflammation of the hair follicles
There are many other skin conditions that may lead to a hair loss problem, be sure to consult with your doctor about what may be leading to yours.

Stress Is Getting The Worst Out Of You

Stress is a leading cause of hair loss and hair thinning. When the human body gets stressed, it may attack itself in varying ways. One of those ways is attacking the hair follicles, leading to fragile hair that breaks and leads to balding.

In order to determine if stress is the cause of your hair loss problem, you’ll need to take stock of your current mental state and work on reducing your stress each day. Over time, you should see hair regrowth if the stress was the culprit.

Physical trauma

Any kind of head trauma can lead to hair loss. Whether the trauma is accidental (such as a severe fall) or purposeful (such as brain surgery), you may experience hair loss due to the trauma. Hair growth should restore during healing.

Dramatic Weight Loss Over A Short Period Of Time

Dramatic weight loss often results in the body being depleted of essential vitamins and minerals that it needs in order to sustain itself. These vitamins and minerals often affect hair growth and the health of your scalp. When a significant amount of weight is lost, you may experience a hair loss problem. Hair growth should occur upon regaining of healthy weight.
If you’re experiencing hair loss, don’t break out the scissors and clippers quite yet. Whereas hair loss can be the result of balding due to genetics, it’s best to rule out other factors such as weight loss, physical trauma, a poor diet, or a skin infection first. Most hair loss is reversible, consult with a doctor to determine the cause of your hair loss.
