What cause hair loss? At any given time, about 10% of the hair on your head is asleep. After about 2 or 3 months, the resting hair (yes, hair take long naps) falls and new hair takes its place. Hair grows at a rate of approximately 1 centimeter per month. It is very fast. It is normal to experience some hair loss every day. However, some men and women experience what is considered excessive hair loss.

So what does this do? Well, a number of things actually. One way is after surgery or too much stress, hair loss is a direct result of this type of surgery or stress, but is usually temporary.

If you have hormonal problems, this can cause hair loss as well. If your thyroid gland is overactive, it can cause hair loss. If your male and female hormones are out of balance, this can cause hair loss. In general, correction of hormonal imbalance may stop hair loss.

The fact that there is a direct correlation between your diet and hair loss is often not the first thing that comes to mind when faced with the loss of hair. For men, male pattern baldness is prevalent and so the cause of hair loss is put down to genetics. While it may be true that genetic and hereditary factors do often play a part in hair loss, it does not mean there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it.

When you look at how your diet can cause you to lose hair, it starts to make sense that healthy eating can promote healthy hair. The scalp is just the same as the skin on the rest of the body, in that it needs nutrients to stay healthy. These nutrients must come from the food you eat, and without them the scalp will function poorly when it comes to hair growth.
