Physiological stress is often short-lived, and hair loss due to it ceases rather quickly.  • However, it is much harder to deal with psychological stress and the hair loss caused by it.  • Lifestyle changes will need to be introduced to better manage stress.  Lacking the Proper Nutrients • Although your hair is mostly protein, it requires several minerals and vitamins to grow and maintain form.  • Zinc, iron, and folic acid are three nutrients that are essential for hair growth.  • Your body also needs several vitamins, such as Vitamin D and Vitamin B-12, to grow and maintain hair, as well as minerals such as selenium.  • Lower intakes of the relevant nutrients can cause hair loss.   Thyroid Disorders • The thyroid gland regulates the growth and maintenance of the body.  • Any irregularity in the thyroid’s activity can result in major issues.  • Both hypothyroidism (over-activity) and hyperthyroidism (diminished activity) can impair the maintenance of your body’s tissues.  • This also extends to hair, which may begin to weaken and fall due to an issue with the thyroid.  Medication • You can also lose hair because of medication.  • Chemotherapy is the most popular example of this.  • However, you can lose hair from a variety of medications.  • Treatment for autoimmune diseases has resulted in hair loss, and medicine ranging from antidepressants to anticoagulants has caused hair loss.  Rapid Weight Loss • Losing a lot of weight quickly, such as 20 pounds, is a sign of weakness.  • This may happen due to an illness or some health complication.  • However, the weakness can extend to your hair as well.  • You might begin to lose hair right after shedding a lot of weight.  • This is primarily due to nutrients being diverted from your scalp to other areas of your body.  Having a Skin Infection  • Skin infection and disorders can also result in hair thinning.  • Scalp psoriasis is one common skin infection that can cause you to lose hair.  • Similarly, serious cases of dandruff are a result of an infection and can cause hair to thin.  Thankfully, hair thinning is a slow process and can be treated once its causes have been found and treated.
