Hair loss nad Remdies

What Causes Hair Loss?The most common causes being hereditary, some debilitating illness, side effects of certain medications, problems in the scalp and hair shafts, as well as from psychological imbalances.
GENETIC CUASE:The most common cause of baldnes is genetic predispositon.In these persons a group of hormones, called androgens, interferes with the natural hair growth cycle.These hormones are made in men's bodies in large amounts, and in women's bodies in small amounts.These hormones, over time, causes the hair follicles to begin shrinking, which in turn alters the natural resting and growth phases of the hair. Some of the follicles eventually die, while others are rendered incapable of producing or maintaining healthy hair growth. The end result is the hair loss -a condition that is medically known as androgenic alopecia.
MEDICAL CAUSES:A number of factors can cause excessive hair loss,
Severe illness
Hormonal Imbalance.
Autoimmune disorders.
After delivery.
Local inflammatory conditions.
Low serum ironCERTAIN MEDICINES.Some medicines can cause hair loss. This type of hair loss improves when you stop taking the medicine. Medicines that can cause hair loss include,
anticoagulants
anti- gout,
chemotherapy to treat cancer,
vitamin A (if too much is taken),
birth control pills
antidepressants.
CERTAIN DISEASES:Like un-controlled diabetes, anemia, lupus.IMPROPER HAIR CARE.If you wear pigtails or cornrows or use tight hair rollers, the pull on your hair can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia . If the pulling is stopped before scarring of the scalp develops, your hair will grow back normally. However, scarring can cause permanent hair loss. Hot oil hair treatments or chemicals used in permanents (also called "perms") may cause inflammation (swelling) of the hair follicle, which can result in scarring and hair loss.
OTHER CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS:include mental stress, poor nutrition, especiall lack of proteins and iron, high grade fever for long time.

SOME REMEDIES
Egg yolk and Olive oil:Massage the hair and scalp with raw egg yolk and 2 table spoons of olive oil (alter the quantity according to your hair thickness) leave it for an hour than wash well. Repeat once a weak. This is a well known natural cure for baldness.
Castor Oil
Apply castor oil to the roots of your hairs and scalp, massage gently and leave for some time. (Some good hair oil can be added to increase the bulk) Castor oil promotes the follicles to give you healthy hairs. This was among most popular home remedies for hair loss in old Egyptian civilization. It can also be used to promote healthy eye lashes.
