Hair loss is a natural process. Every day we lose between 50 and 100 strands. If you lose more than 100 hairs daily, probably you need hair loss treatment. But to adopt the proper treatment, you first have to determine what causes the problem.

Every woman /and man/ would like to have beautiful, healthy and thick hair. Of course the gorgeous mane is more important for the women. It gives them confidence and adds attractiveness and femininity to their image.

Hair loss is not just a cosmetic problem, so if you find that your hair falls above normal, seek immediate medical advice. Only a specialist could determine the cause and prescribe proper treatment.

If the cause for the hair loss is not health related, it is time to think what part of your daily regimen and lifestyle causes the problem.

Mental trauma can also cause hair loss. Although alopecia is not well studied, specialists say it could be caused by a number of diseases such as thyroid problems, poor quality vaccines, stress, anemia, unhealthy diets, etc. The most common cause appears to be the weight lost. If you follow a vegetarian diet, you may experience a lack of protein and iron, which can lead to hair loss.

The medical hair loss treatments include lotions, emulsions, shampoos, hormonal treatment and steroids.

But in long terms, some of these treatments can provoke many side effects as increased appetite, weight gaining, high blood pressure and weakening of bones.
