Hair Loss Needs Monitoring

Some Hair Loss After 50 Something is to be Expected
But if you’re 30 something and are finding more than usual amount of hair falling out, you need to pay attention.“Your hair is often an early warning signal” Don’t let this one slide . . . there are a lot of simple explanations like pregnancy, a new prescription, over processing your hair, terrible environmental conditions that really are not cause for alarm. But, just make sure. Your hair is often an early warning signal for other more serious health issues. So if you are seeing lots of hair in the drain after you shampoo, its time to see your Doc for a checkup.
I found this article in the Press & Sun-Bulletin, it provides lots more information about hair loss and is one that you might want to add to your hairstyle bookmarks.

This months-long period involves about 10 percent of the hair, more in a woman whose pregnancy has caused her scalp to hold onto it longer than usual. The new hair then enters the anagen phase, and the cycle begins again. Determining what has skewered the cycle is the first step in slowing, stopping or possibly even reversing hair loss, Lim says. |
