- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
