Introduction

When we start losing our hair we panic. We quickly search the Internet for fixes to hair loss and grab at the quick fixes. Here are some things you should not do when trying to stop your hair loss.

When we first start losing our hair we cannot believe it. We believe to be young to be losing our hair. Well for men they can start losing their hair right after puberty if it is caused by male pattern baldness. But there could be many other reasons for your hair loss and if you do not understand the reason of your loss, you could be wasting your time and your money.

For example, there are many other reasons for you to lose your hair besides male or female pattern baldness. Some other reasons you can lose your hair is by:

Stress – If your body is undergoing stress either from work or you are under going a significant emotional event, such as a death in the family or divorce, you could start losing your hair.

Medicine – Certain medicines could cause you to start losing your hair.

Diet – If you start a crash diet or are not getting the right vitamins, your hair can start falling out.

There are many more reasons you can lose your hair, but once you understand the reasons for your hair loss, the fix to stopping your hair loss could be quite simple. It might be as simple as removing what is causing your stress, changing your medicine or improving your diet.

Grabbing At Straws

With today’s technology, it is easy to go to the Internet and search for ways to stop hair loss. One of the ways that comes up is to use Biotin. Biotin is a good vitamin for the hair, but your body makes Biotin itself, so in general it is not needed as a supplement. Plus shampoos claim to have Biotin as part of their ingredients. The sad part is there is doubt that the scalp can absorb Biotin through the skin.

So if you buy Biotin supplements or shampoos with Biotin contained in the ingredients, you are wasting your money and time.

Rather than you trying to figure out the reasons for your hair loss, it is best to visit your dermatologist for a professional opinion.
