1. If you undergo chemotherapy to fight the spread of cancer cells, chances are you will experience hair loss. This is because while chemo can help stop fast-dividing cancer cells, it can also stop the cell growth of hair follicles. Luckily, your hair will most likely grow back once the chemo sessions are done.
2. There are actually many medicines designed to help you that may cause hair loss. Medicines like anti-thyroid medications, anti-coagulants, and hormonal therapies can cause telogen effluvium, or a rapid shedding of the hair.
3. Iron deficiency is a big cause of hair loss. If you suffer from iron-deficiency anemia, your short supply of red blood cells can lead to a lack of oxygen in your body’s cells, including your hair cells.
4. While it may sound like an old wives’ tale, stress actually does cause baldness. When your body goes into a state of shock as a result of stress, the hormones that are released can cause hair loss.
5. And, to end on a hopeless note, the most common cause of baldness is…male pattern baldness. Basically, it’s a type of baldness that is unavoidable. If it’s in your genes, it’s going to happen.
