Many Factors to Hair Loss
Hair loss can take place due to many factors. Some hair loss causes include medical treatment, certain diseases or illnesses, medications' side effects, natural aging, inadequate intake of Zinc, excess intake of vitamin A or E, and mechanical damage; perming, coloring, bleaching, using of curling iron and corn rows are some of the mechanical damages that can dry and weaken the hair. But the most common and successful factor in hair loss is dehydrotestosterone hormone or DHT. This hormone is naturally produced by a human's body; its general purpose is to develop the traits of men such as mustache, deep voice, and large muscles. If DHT is excessively produced, it will accumulate itself in DHT receptors around hair follicles, killing both hair and hair follicles. After that hormonal attack, follicles will not be able to produce any strand of hair anymore. Women have lesser DHT than men, so that means opposite sexes do not experience the same hair loss effect. Men are more likely to go bald, while women just experience thinning of hair.
