Hair loss is widely considered to be part of the aging process; sometimes hair loss can signify a growing health problem. Here are some causes of it as identifying the cause and with proper hair care preventative measures you can considerably slow the progression of hair loss:

• Medication: Many medications, almost 200 of them, list hair loss as one of their side effects. The common medications that cause hair loss are blood thinners, blood pressure medication, anti depressants etc. So, if you notice sudden hair loss after starting a new medication, consult your doctor and change your medication.
• Hair Styles and treatment: Chemically treating your hair may give you great looking hair but may invite long term hair loss. Bleaching, coloring, perming and straightening your hairs affect the hair shaft and hair follicle (root) making them weak. Also if you are in the habit of tying your hair too tight, you can damage the hair roots and cause their weakening even causing a condition called as Traction alopecia.
