If the gland makes too much or too little thyroid hormone, the hair growth cycle can cause hesitate. But hair loss is rarely the only sign of a thyroid problem. Other symptoms consist weight gain or loss, sensitivity to cold or heat, and changes in heart rate.

2) Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata causes hair to fall out in startling patches. The convict is the body’s own immune system, which mistakenly attacks healthy hair follicles. In most cases, the damage is not stable. The missing ground usually grow back in six months to a year. In rare cases, people may lose all of the hair on their scalp and body.

3) Ringworm
When ringworm affects the scalp, the fungus triggers a distinct pattern of hair loss — itchy, round bald patches. Bald fields can appear scaly and red. Ringworm of the scalp is treated with antifungal medication. The fungus is easily spread by direct contact, so family members should be checked for symptoms, too.

4) Childbirth
Some women may attention their hair seems fuller during pregnancy. That’s thanks to high levels of hormones that keep resting hairs from falling out as they normally would. But it doesn’t last forever. After childbirth, when hormone levels return to normal, those strands fall out quickly. This can mean a surprising amount of hair loss at one time. It may take up to two years for hair to return to normal.

5) The Pill

The hormones that crush ovulation can cause hair to thin in some women, particularly those with a family history of hair fall. Sometimes hair loss begins when you stop taking the pill. Other drugs linked to hair loss have blood thinners and medicines that treat high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, and depression.

8) Cancer Treatment
Hair loss is an infamous side effect of two cancer treatments: chemo and radiation therapy. In their inquiry to kill cancer cells, both treatments can harm hair follicles, triggering dramatic hair loss. But the damage is almost always short-lived. Once the therapy is finished, hair usually grows back.

Extreme physical or emotional stress can cause a sudden shedding of one-half to three-quarters of the hair on your head. Examples include:
• Serious illness or major surgery
• Trauma involving blood loss

The shedding may last six to eight months.
