In fact, a recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.health.com\/health\/gallery\/0,,20727114,00.html\">article<\/a> on Health.com, <em>21 Reasons Why You&rsquo;re Losing Your Hair, <\/em>breaks down the many reasons men and women lose hair, from temporary shedding, to male pattern<br \/> baldness. Whatever the extent of your hair loss, it is important to identify the cause to be able to effectively manage it. Here is more information on the top 5 most common reasons you&rsquo;re losing your hair.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. &nbsp; Male-pattern Baldness or Female-Pattern baldness<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/hair-loss\/basics\/causes\/con-20027666\">Mayo Clinic<\/a> names male-pattern baldness or female-pattern baldness, also called androgenic alopecia, as the number one cause of hair loss. This hereditary condition caused by a combination of genetics and male hormones is very common, affecting more than 3 million people each year.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2.&nbsp; Telogen Effluvium<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The second most common cause is likely Telogen Effluvium; a loss of hair while it is in the telogen (resting) phase of the growth cycle. While little research has been done up to this point on the condition, The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanhairloss.org\/types_of_hair_loss\/effluviums.asp\">American Hair Loss Association<\/a> defines it as &ldquo;a change in the hair follicles growing hair &rdquo; resulting in shedding. The cause is some type of physical trauma to the body, such as giving birth or a high fever. The hair becomes noticeably thinner in severe cases, but the condition does not result in complete baldness.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3.&nbsp; Medications<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/skin-problems-and-treatments\/hair-loss\/drug-induced-hair-loss-1\">list of medications<\/a> that can cause hair loss, including steroids, birth control pills, and many drugs prescribed for a healthy heart, is large and continues to grow. The reasons vary by medication but in the case of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.evolutionary.org\/steroids-cause-hair-loss\">steroids<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanhairloss.org\/women_hair_loss\/oral_contraceptives.asp\">birth control pills<\/a>, the hair loss is due to higher levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body, a hormone that interacts with the hair follicles to inhibit hair growth. For more on the science behind DHT, visit Revivogen MD&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/revivogen.com\/the-science\/\">web page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4.&nbsp; Over Styling<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>That sleek ponytail or those extensions may look great but overstyling and too tight hairstyles can result in a form of hair loss called traction alopecia, which translates to hair loss caused by pulling. The good news is, you can avoid this type of hair loss altogether.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5.&nbsp; Alopecia Areate<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Alopecia areate, or autoimmune related hair loss, is a disease that causes the immune system to attack the hair follicles, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/dermatology-a-to-z\/diseases-and-treatments\/a---d\/alopecia-areata\/who-get-causes\">American Academy of Dermatology<\/a>. Genetics play a significant role in this type of hair loss, which causes the hair to fall out in round patches on the scalp and sometimes elsewhere on the body.<\/p>\n<p>So if you are experiencing hair loss, you should make an appointment with your doctor or dermatologist to discuss possible causes and remedies. Once you know why you are losing your hair, you can start making changes in your life to improve your condition.<\/p>\n<p>If you suffer from thinning or shedding hair due to high levels of DHT, our hair loss products are here to help.
