The genetic causes of hair loss are usually permanent, while non-genetic are temporary.

The genetic cause of hair loss could be:

  • The inability of the organism to determine hair growth quickly, so the hairy sleeps too soon and then it falls. The Androgenetic Alopecia isn’t caused by a disease directly, but it depends on age, on the organism testosterone level or heredity.

The non-genetic causes of the hair loss are:

  • Anagen Effluvium: it may be caused by the internal administration of some drugs which produce “the poisoning” of hair follicles which are in the stage of growth. The drugs which could cause hair loss are: those for gout, those prescribed for cancer, those for fluidization blood, antidepressants, big amounts of vitamin A, drugs for blood pressure and even contraceptive pills.
  • Nutritional factors: dissociated diet, spontaneous, a treatment plant or chronic food deprivation (such as starvation or alcoholism) could determinate hair loss. Stopping them is usually enough for helping hair to grow in the same place. If the daily regimen of nutrition does not contain iron and zinc, it is recommended taking vitamins.
  • Physical or emotional stress, serious diseases, surgeries, births, high fever, Thyroid disorders, scalp skin problems, polycystic ovarian syndrome, sudden decrease in weight or diabetes are some others causes/medical conditions which could determinate hair loss.
