Why can't your hair grow?

Some common reasons your hair stunts to grow or you start to experience hair loss.
Oftentimes hair loss is the first sign of trouble. While age is definitely a factor hair loss, other factors, such as hormonal imbalance, emotional stress, medications and hair care products can also lead to thinning of the hair. The best way to get to the root of the problem is to determine the underlying cause.
1. Hormonal Imbalance – Menopause, thyroid problems or genetic hormonal responses to autoimmune conditions can also cause thinking of hair and premature balding in women.
2. Emotional Stress – Men has more testosterone than women, but if you are under intense stress, research indicates the adrenal glands become overworked due to an increased need for the “stress hormone” known as cortisol. This causes the body to produce more adrenaline and testosterone, and DHT, a stronger variant of testosterone. This creates a hormonal imbalance.
3. Pregnancy – This is extremely common and familiar to most. During post-partum, mothers experience thinning and sometimes even bald patches. Don’t worry this is only temporary and oftentimes treatment isn’t necessary. If your hair is restored within the first year after giving birth, chances are something else is going on. Seek medical advice.
4. THE PILL or any method of birth control – I can definitely relate to this one! If you’re on a birth control or anticipating going on it, be sure you invest in a low-androgen index pill to avoid the effects of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone).
5. The solution: If you’re suffering from hair loss, chances are a hormonal imbalance is to blame. Maybe you can find a bioidentical hormone doctor that can determine you’re experiencing a hormonal imbalance problem or if it’s simply genetic.
