You can talk about hair loss as a serious problem when you lose them with whole shocks while washing your head or styling. But what is the reason for this?

• Problems with the thyroid gland. This is an organ located in the front of the neck and responsible for the production of hormones. The thyroid gland regulates many processes in our body. And therefore, problems with her can be very dangerous. As for hair loss, it is observed in case of a lack of or vice versa, an oversupply of the iron generated by it. However, you should not make a diagnosis of only one of the symptoms, namely a violation of hair growth. There are other symptoms of thyroid problems - a sharp change in weight, changes in heart rhythm and increased sensitivity to hot and cold. If they are found at yourself, see a doctor.
• Alopecia or baldness. The fault of this is the human immune system that attacks the hair follicles of its own body by mistake. As a rule, this is a temporary problem and the bald sections of the head will still cover the hair through a year or two. But it happens that hair falls out once and for all.
• The birth of a child. So, many women noticed that while they had their child, the hair was thick and strong. But as soon as they gave birth to, hair loss was an urgent problem. During pregnancy, a lot of hormones are produced, which prevent hair loss. After childbirth, their level decreases sharply, which is the cause of hair loss.  Restoration will take about 2 years.
• Incorrect medication. Hair loss is one of the side effects of taking oral contraceptives. The guilt of the hormones that suppress ovulation and protect us from unwanted pregnancies. It also happens that the hair began to fall out immediately after the cessation of medication. Preparations for controlling blood pressure, treatment of heart disease, depression and drugs that thin the blood can also provoke hair loss. Before their reception, it is necessary to advise a doctor and very carefully study the instructions for use.
• Extreme diets. Women who are closely monitoring weights are given not only by perfect shapes, but also dull, thin hair. Be prepared for hair loss if you are starving or in your diet there is too little protein and fats.
• Too tight hairstyles. Do you think this is a myth? But not. Too tight braids and tails irritate the scalp and provoke hair loss. The same is about tight curlers. Want beautiful hair - let them relax at least at night! Dissage your hair in the evening before bedtime and they will begin to grow normally. Try not to wear, albeit beautiful, but not too useful for hair, tight hairstyles constantly.
• Stress. So we got to one of the most common causes of hair loss. Strong emotional overwork and constant stressful situations can cause loss to ¾ hair of the scalp. And it can last from 6 to 8 months.
