The brushes that you use may also damage your hair. Not everyone has the same texture hair so when you brush your hair with a flair styler brush it may leave your hair frizzy or pull at the ends causing tangles or even dead ends that will split. If you use a cushion brush you will find that if your hair is healthy you will not notice the static or the frizzy. The vent brush is good to use as well if you don't have too many split ends. If you do have split ends it may cause more damage to the hair at the end which will result in frizzy and unmanageable hair. Combs are good to use as well as long as the hair is not damaged too much.

Now let's examine additional causes that are involved with hair loss

1. Family Genetics

With advances in genetic research, scientists have gained new tools with which to learn about the genetics of hair loss. Heredity plays a big role when it comes to hair growth problems. If your direct relatives experience thinning or balding hair, you can expect to have the same experience.

Even with your genetics planned out, there are still plenty of options available to you that can help prevent hair loss. Just work out a preventative treatment plan to keep the hair you have and even grow new hair. Have this plan up and going before any real effects begin to show.

2. Hormones

Hormones are also a factor on why people lose their hair. It's not necessarily hormones themselves but more fluctuations in hormone levels. Like when women are pregnant, their hair is thicker, healthier, and more beautiful than it ever will be. But after childbirth, their hair will usually begin to fall out in large amounts. This hair loss is normal due to their hormones. Eventually the hair thinning will cease once the hormonal balance is brought back into alignment.

Some people only need to check and adjust any hormonal imbalances to help prevent hair growth problems. The one thing to undertake before anything else is to talk with your doctor concerning your specific case of pattern baldness. He or she will be able to do some blood work and see if any imbalances or other possible medical justifications, that may cause hair loss, can be ruled out. Also, any causes found by your doctor will quite often stop once it is properly treated.

3. Medications or Drugs

While illegal drugs certainly do damage to your hair, including sudden hair loss, a number of legal prescription drugs may also cause sudden hair loss in some women. Research has mentioned quite often certain drugs that tend to cause abrupt women's hair loss in which hair falls out in clumps or patches. These include Nexium, Accutane for acne, and a host of anti-convulsants for seizure disorders. Others are the majority of anti-coagulants containing Wafarin, and most anti-depressants.

This reaction is rare, but experiencing abnormal hair loss or thinning while on one of these types of medications, you may want to contact your doctor. Your doctor will decide whether to reduce your dose or change your prescribed medication entirely if they believe it has a direct link to the hair loss you are experiencing.

4. Environmental Factors

Pollution in the environment is a major cause of estrogen production in the body. Unless you migrate out of the city and into the green countryside, then you will need to improve your body's ability to neutralize the pollution before it causes the production of estrogen. To do this, ultimately you will need to detoxify your liver. There are many liver cleanser products available, and I advise you to avail yourself of these and do a liver cleanse on a regular basis.

5. Nutritional Deficiencies

Nutritional deficiency is another big reason some people lose their hair. This is definitely seen in anorexia and bulimia for hair loss is one of their many symptoms. However, your deficiency severity doesn't matter. You will still see a difference in your hair even if you only have a minor amount of nutritional deficiency.

Supplements have been designed just for hair health based entirely on nutritional deficiencies. Feeling like you aren't deficient in any nutrients doesn't mean you can't do more. These supplements are available to provide additional help in accelerating growth and increasing the strength of your hair. The kinds of food you are eating must also be taken into consideration. Food these days have plenty of unhealthy chemicals that can cause estrogen production. This negative production can have an impact on whether or not you notice a case of excessive hair loss. Making sure to involve a low carbohydrate/high protein diet,for this will help combat hair loss. A consistent liver detox will also aid in subsiding the chemicals found in food, but a much better way is to start eating more organic foods. This will rule out artificial chemicals completely.

For taking care of your hair you probably will need to use a natural approach, rather than a medical one, to keep from having follicle inflammation or damaged hair and scalp. For example lemons can be used for hair highlights, olive oil for moisture, aloe vera for a conditioner. You will be able to locate all the other pure natural products available at health food stores. Of course, if you think your hair is thinning a little more than it has in the past, or you are beginning to see abnormal hair loss, a doctor visit should be the very first thing you do. You will need to make sure that your hair thinning, or loss, is not the result of a medical condition. This is also the perfect time for you to discuss the best treatment option for your individual case. There are plenty of ways to aid in reversing your hair loss. These options include the use of natural supplements, topical formulas, doctor-prescribed medication, hair transplant and much more.
