There are many different types of hair loss and the causes differ. If you check the Hair Basics section (see link above) you will probably be able to identify the type of hair loss from the descriptions. In some instances the causes are related to a medical condition and you should see a doctor if you are unsure of the type of hair loss that is affecting you.

Fortunately there are several drugs available that are very effective at maintaining the current hair that you have and preventing any future hair loss.

There is no way to permanently stop its progress, but there are things you can do to slow it down.

Often these little pocket pets develop allergic reactions to the shavings used as bedding in their cage. Cedar shavings are the more irritating than pine, and dusty shavings of any kind make for poor bedding. Try eliminating all shavings and providing cotton batton for a bed with only paper towel as a substrate. You can shred some paper towel to provide privacy and softness.

Many reasons. For one, the general population is largely unaware of the advancements in the field and do not realize the coverage and natural appearance possible.

You and me both. Androgenetic alopecia (Hair loss) is only considered a real risk if you have the Male-pattern baldness gene on your mom's side of the family. But, turns out you and me were in the wrong line, because we both have it. Hair loss is absolutely irreversible. It's due to build-up of DHT in the scalp, which is rich in androgenic receptors. It's also unstoppable. But it can be slowed down to some extent. The first and most popular means is prescription hair loss medication.

Be sure to go through all the steps above to see if there's something you could change. Know that when you're growing long hair and not used to the way it looks in a brush or comb, a few hairs may suddenly look like a lot. Also know that some scalps will compensate for the extra weight of your hair by thinning out, and that some thinning is natural with aging. If none of this applies, it may be a medical condition.

A scratching dog is probably one of the most common reasons why people seek veterinary care. The scratching could be caused by a number of conditions including fleas, ticks, allergies to grasses, trees, pollens, etc., mange, food allergies, endocrine problems, and skin infections to name a few.

There are three types of hair, synthetic, processed human hair or unprocessed human hair. Each type has advantages and disadvantages.

The major benefits are easy care, reasonable price, permanent color, easy styling and usually quick availability.

Because hair takes on such an important social and cosmetic role. Since biblical times, hairiness has symbolized strength, maturity and virility (ex. Samson and Delilah).

On rare occasions, people have reported combing out a few more hair than normal. There is no cause for alarm. After a very short period of time, hair grows normally again. Many more people actually notice the opposite effect - hair growing back. And most people report their nails and hair growing faster.

Everyone loses between 50 - 100 hairs a day, and about the same amount will grow back! The hair normally comes out during washing, combing and brushing, etc. Since curly/wavy hair (unlike straight hair) does not get combed out everyday or on a regular basis, when you do comb or brush your hair, it seems like you are losing a lot of hair, but in fact, it is the total of one day or any number of days that the hair has not been brushed.

These hairs are generally dyed to match your own hair.
