WHY IS MY HAIR FALLING OUT?

Hair loss….just a normal practice in our daily lives, isn’t it? Well no! Have you ever imagined how
much hair should shed regularly and how much are you shedding?

We don’t really realize the seriousness of hair loss until we reach to a point where we have less
solutions and more problems. But why so? What is the reason we are so heedless about the most
salient part of our body which actually makes or breaks our guise.

People often go beyond the limits to experiment with the hair colors, hair treatments, hair
styles and cuts etc. just to follow the trend and little do they know these are some harmful
methods that can cause massive damage to the hair if not taken care of properly.

On the other hand, we don’t really eat well, do we?

In this article, we will be talking about why, how and what to do with the hair loss.

WHY ME?
- Let’s Blame the Hormones: Either in men or women, hormonal changes with time and age are
one of the major reasons for the hair fall. In women, childbirth or menopause plays the main
role in doing so ,however, for men genetics can be a reason too.

Did you know that according to the Canadian Hair Research Foundation, 40 to 50 percent of
women will experience hair loss by the time they reach menopause.
