HORMONE IMBALANCE
CAN CAUSE HAIR LOSS
Some women are surprised to find out that
hormones can cause hair loss. When your
hormones are imbalanced, it can create a
condition of hair loss. Hormone imbalances
can be caused by something as simple
as birth control pills. Hormone replacement
therapy can temporarily alter the delicate
balance of hormones in the female body,
and lead to hair loss. If you’re losing hair,
make sure to monitor your hormone levels.
AVOID EXCESSIVE INTAKE
OF SOY AND IODINE
If you follow a vegetarian or even vegan
lifestyle, excess intake of iodine and soy
can expedite hair loss. Hair loss can be
caused by thyroid problems. Soy may be
responsible for an imbalance in the thyroid
gland.
AVOID USING WIGS AND HELMETS
While a wig can hide thinning hair,
it can also further the damage. It will cause
scalp and follicle damage, and you will see
hair loss occur more quickly. Wigs, along
with hats and helmets, should be avoided.
Hair is important to most people because
it’s something they’ve always had. It is really
like a body part. So if you can save it,
you’re going to save it. Fortunately, the tips
you’ve just read in this article can help you
save that head of hair by keeping what you
have and even growing new hair.
