and weight loss drugs, among others! With a list this comprehensive, it definitely
pays to investigate any routine prescriptions as the first step in identifying the source
of hair loss!

2. Hair Styling-As much as it may seem superficial, extreme hair treatments can lead
to inflammation of the scalp and to hair loss, which may be permanent. Hair
extensions, tight braids, bleaching and dyes can be the cause of scarred follicles,
thinning hair, receding hair lines, and bald patches. A dermatologist can help with
these issues by prescribing anti-inflammatory medications that could reduce any
itching or swelling. A stylist can cut away damaged, over-processed hair and give
advice on a style that will allow the follicles to heal, while still maintaining an aesthetic
style.

3. Disease-Several medical conditions such as Thyroid Disease and Polycystic Ovarian
Syndrome can result in thinning hair. The bad news is that these health issues are
chronic and will need close monitoring from a physician. However, the good news is
that these conditions are easy to maintain through hormone treatments. Once the
condition is controlled, the patient's hair should return to its normal condition within a
few months.

4. Telogen Effluvium-This term refers to a temporary change in the natural cycle of
hair growth. This condition occurs after childbirth, extreme dieting, emotional trauma,
or after some surgeries. These episodes are usually the result of hormonal changes,
and often the hair growth returns to normal once the hormone imbalance stabilizes.

5. Menopause-This metamorphosis brings a great many surprising changes, one of
which may be the onset of thinning hair. While hormone replacement therapy might
be an option in counteracting the natural hormonal changes which lead to hair loss
during this time, hormone replacement therapy should not be entered into lightly.
Still, there are a wide variety of options for women during this phase, including hair
treatments, hair thickeners, spray-on fibers, wigs and wiglets, hair transplants, or
just plain clever styling!
