How To Diagnose The Cause Of Hair Loss
When we suspect we might be losing our hair, many of us don’t know what to do at first. We don’t want to wait for more visible balding, but are we overreacting? Rather than wait around to see if you lose more hair or trying to do a self-diagnosis, you can visit a doctor who […]
Sun Exposure And Hair Loss
The sun is important to our health. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that we take into our bodies primarily through exposure to the sun. It stimulates cell growth, keeps our skin healthy, and even helps to create hair follicles. In fact, Vitamin D is so important to our skin and hair that a lack […]
Lack of Sleep and Hair Loss
Many of us know that stress plays a role in hair thinning or hair loss.

Early Signs Of Balding

Pets and Hair Loss
Numerous studies have shown the benefits of pet ownership. From relaxation and stress relief of petting and playing with them to the health benefits from walking your dog or cat (if it is leash trained or in a carrier-stroller), having a pet is good for you – unless it causes hair loss.
Top Jobs Causing Stress-Related Hair Loss

Celiac and Severe Hair Loss
