Default Common reason for hair loss

Common reason for hair loss:

HORMONAL
- Since hormones both stimulate hair growth and cause hair loss, hormonal changes by far have the biggest impact on hair loss.

DISEASE OR ILLNESS
- Since the follicle is a very sensitive it does respond to imbalances in the body. Most hair loss causes by disease or illness is temporary and resolves itself after the body has returned to a healthy condition.

MECHANICAL DAMAGE
- Damage to the hair can be self inflicted either by intentional or unintentional means. Some people going through stress continuously pull at their hair until it comes out.

Wow. never heard of that before actually. but thinking about the status of plumbing in some area, toxic stuff can really be found in some water. I guess it is one of the reasons why we should all be careful with our water system or just the water we drink.

Yes. Higher Serum prolactin level is related to hair loss. This happens mostly with ladies. The elevated serum levels of the hormone prolactin in non-pregnant individuals is called prolactin or hyperprolactinemia
