When someone is dealing with hair loss, they often search for ways to make sense of it. They want a reason as to why this is happening to them. I’ve found that some clients find comfort in associating their situation with the common myths that have been passed down from generation to generation about hair loss. During my consultations with prospective new clients I often hear things like “well my Mom’s family lost their hair,” or “I wear hats alot,” or even “I shampoo my hair every day.”
The truth is, these statements are all myths out there about hair loss. According to the American Hair Loss Association androgenetic alopecia, more commonly known as male or female pattern baldness, is the most common cause of hair loss and is inherited through genetics from either side of someone’s family, not just the Mother’s, another common myth about hair loss.
Hair loss can be caused by many other things such as the environment, a medical condition, even nutrition so before you blame hat wearing for your hair loss, it’s best to speak to a medical professional and get some real answers!
Here are a few useful links to help you understand hair loss and to learn whats a myth and what’s not.
