Hair loss

By Metro Creative

Hair loss can affect quality of life and self-esteem. While it is common to lose some hair each day as part of the natural growing cycle, hair lost during the growth cycle will grow back for most people. But with hormonal conditions, illnesses, aging, and inherited conditions, new strands of hair don’t always grow back.

The Cleveland Clinic says that a person cannot prevent all types of hair loss, but there are steps to keep hair healthy and minimize loss. Coping with stress in a healthy way; managing thyroid diseases or other hormonal conditions that could lead to hair loss; eating a diet that includes enough calories, protein and iron; avoiding hairstyles that pull tightly; and trying a cooling cap during chemotherapy treatment are steps one can take to minimize hair loss.
