So for those of the people who are having a dilemma about losing their hair or who are already on the verge of being bald.

To the dismay of many, many causes of hair loss cannot be halted or changed. No matter how much you groom and pamper your hair, there is always the chance of losing it or even going bald. Here is a list of hair loss causes that have been supported and researched by medical scientists.

According to studies, one of the most common causes of hair loss is hormones because they are known to affect the stimulation of hair growth which only means that not only men are affected by it but also women. Though they say that hair loss in men have patterns and runs specifically, but in women, hair thinning or hair loss does not follow a pattern that is specific.

Due to the diverse changes a woman's body goes through as a result of pregnancy, some women may suffer temporary hair loss after child birth. Hair loss in new mothers may last for weeks or even months after the birth of their child. Pregnancy is one of the major causes of hair loss in women.

As a woman, taking birth control pills is considered to be one of the major hair loss causes especially those women who were programmed in their genes to have Androgenic Alopecia.
