Help for hair loss
continued from page 1
Wear and tear
Tight ponytails or plaits, weaves and extensions, heavy beads and too-tight curlers can all result in hair loss, particularly around the forehead. Fortunately, once you reduce the stress on hair, it should grow back.

Clogged follicles
This is an uncommon condition, but it can occur if you use a lot of very heavy, greasy products on your scalp and don't wash them off frequently. If you use a clarifying shampoo occasionally and cut back on conditioners, you shouldn't have this problem.
Other causes
Eating disorders, rapid weight loss, severe stress, alopecia areata (a rare autoimmune disorder), chemotherapy, overdoses of vitamin A, the hormone DHEA, thyroid disease, bacterial or fungal infections, syphilis, scarring and side effects of some medications are all potential causes for hair loss.
