Do You Know Why Your Hair Is Becoming Thinner?

I get asked all sorts of questions all the time from people on my email list about why their hair is thinning. Do you know why your hair is thinning? There are several causes of this that you just have to know about. Your main problem with hair loss could be right under your nose and you may not even know about it.

Well first I want to tell you about some of the not so obvious reasons thinning of the hair can occur. First of all many people get sick every now and then. Hey, we all do. This can cause your body to lose out on many of the nutrients that it needs in order to help promote healthy hair growth.

You don't even have to be sick very long and it can still have some major adverse effects on your hair. If you've undergone surgery within the past 30 days, this too is known to affect the way your hair grows. Undue stress is something that we all go through from time to time.

Have you ever heard of stress causing hair loss? It can happen. It's usually not the stress itself that leads to hair fall, rather it's how the various hormones in your body trigger other elements in the body that interrupt the hair growth cycle.

As a word of advice, definitely watch how you care for your hair. Avoid cornrows, tight braiding, pony tails or any other type of hairstyle that involves the twisting or pulling of your hair. This is HIGHLY DANGEROUS!
