Early age hair loss Reasons and solutions!

Hair loss is one of the most common problems faced by men and women worldwide. But, sometimes people suffer from premature hair loss. And that becomes a cause for concern. People typically lose 50 to 100 hairs a day, and it goes unnoticed because new hair often replaces the ones that are lost.

However, premature hair loss occurs when new hair doesn’t replace the hair that has fallen out. There could be many reasons for such early age hair loss. It can be due to hereditary factors, hormonal changes, or some underlying medical conditions.

Sometimes, a physical or emotional shock or major stress can also cause hair to loosen. Handfuls of hair may come out while combing or washing your hair. This type of hair loss usually causes overall hair thinning.

Other reasons for hair loss could include excessive use of styling products, such as perms, dyes, eating disorders, such as anorexia or bulimia, restrictive diets that don’t provide enough protein or iron, childbirth, major surgery, high fever, infection, etc.

Solutions for hair loss are varied and depend on the correct diagnosis. When hair loss is due to an underlying medical condition, such as a thyroid disease, iron deficiency or anemia, the hair will re-grow when the condition is treated. There are some types of hair loss in which the follicle becomes scarred and hair can no longer regrow in those areas. In these cases, the goal of treatment is to prevent further scarring and preserve the hair that is left.

Sometimes, taking a daily multivitamin will ensure that our body has all the nutrients it needs to grow hair. For eg., vitamin A encourages healthy production of sebum in the scalp while vitamin E improves blood circulation. Switching to a protein-rich diet such as lean meats, fish, soy also helps curb hair loss.

The most important thing is to see a dermatologist as soon as you notice that you are losing more hair than usual. Do not wait till the condition worsens. A correct diagnosis will ensure that you trace the root cause of such early age hair loss. Specialists will guide you regarding the best treatment options available according to your specific case conditions.
