REASONS FOR HAIR LOSS:
Hair is formed in tiny pockets in the skull known as follicles. The upgrowth from follicle is called the papilla. Papilla with the help of a specific group of cells that turn amino acids into keratin, produces hair. Keratin is a type of protein that makes hair. Higher the rate of production of keratin, more will be the hair growth.
The rate of production, in turn, depends on the vital nutrients supplied through the diet of a person. If vitamins and other nutrients are provided in sufficient amounts, hair grows at normal rate but if there is a deficiency of vitamins and nutrients then no protein is formed which, on the one hand, stops the growth of hair and on the other hand makes the hair weak leading to hair loss and baldness. Therefore, one of the major reasons of hair loss is deficiency of nutrients. There are some other reasons for hair loss too.
1. Lack of vitamin B6, folic acid, calcium etc.
2. Stress
3. Prolonged Illness
4. Improper or irregular cleaning of hair
5. Heredity
6. Pollution; environmental hazards
7. Application of chemicals on hair ( hair straightening, coloring, hair dyes etc.)
8. Poor blood circulation
