The common reasons for hair loss in an individual varies from genetics, pregnancy, diet, improper hair care, cancer treatment and illness.

One way to combat hair loss is to use hair transplant therapy. Hair transplantation using micro grafts, can be very effective in most types of hair loss. Women are often better candidates for this procedure than men because their hair loss tends to be less concentrated.

Other reasons for hair loss include too much vitamin A and anti-depressant therapy. Some physical reasons for hair loss include over or under-active thyroids, certain fungal infections and hormonal imbalances. Even underlying problems such as lupus or diabetes may result in excessive hair loss.
