Although hair loss is usually considered hereditary and not easily reversible, there are other factors, both internal and external. Hair health depends on blood supply, circulation, and nutrition. Factors that are involved in male hair loss include heredity, hormones, and aging. Women sometimes have the same type of hair loss, but it is not as severe and usually occurs after menopause. In addition, most women lose some hair two or three months after having a baby because hormonal changes during pregnancy prevent normal hair loss.
Healthy hair is a mirror of both good nutrition and common sense.
Hair consists of protein layers called keratin. In healthy hair, the cell walls of the hair cuticle lie flat like shingles, leaving hair soft and shiny. In damaged or dry hair, the cuticle shingles are broken and created gaps that make hair porous and dull. Hair problems are never isolated conditions. They can be the result of basic body imbalances such as nutritional deficiencies.
