Causes of Hair Loss
- The way of life and the environment in which each one evolves strongly influence the life of our hair . For example, iron deficiency, stress , stopping a birth control pill, unhealthy diet, or medication can be a major cause of hair loss .

- Do hormones also have a strong impact on hair growth, as they depend on androgens . The sensitivity to these varies from person to person; supposed to stimulate hair growth , it promotes their loss in case of exacerbation.
Diseases Causing Hair Loss
Among the diseases causing intense hair loss are among others:
- Androgenetic alopecia
- Telogen effluvium.
- Anagen effluvium

The second is characterized by a very extensive loss of hair on the entire scalp. The latter intervenes brutally in a limited time , hence its name of " acute fall ".
Finally, the third relates to a reaction due to an external effect. Chemotherapy can thus completely block hair growth during treatment. However, it does not damage it since once finished , the hair grows back in its entirety.
