Hair on the human head is an essential part of dressing. If you thought that what matters is only the clothing, you are dead wrong. Consider placing a wig on the head of a bald individual, it coes not matter who, whether man or woman. Just give it a try now or today. Surprise! Even the most ugly man or woman (depending on the beholder’s eyes) will be transformed. This is the power of hair on the head (I am not about hair on other parts of the body).

With the obvious importance of hair on the head, any loss would be devastating. First for the woman, and also for the man, depending on the man’s self-awareness. Yet millions of people suffer from hairloss every year. It does not only rob them of beauty or handsomeness, but to majority, also the loss of self-esteem. This is simply a warning that you must protect your hair.

There are several causes of hairloss. Some of the common causes include genetic makeup of the individual. If either of your parents had a clean shave head, then you should not be surprised at lack of hair on your head. Another common cause is hormonal imbalance. This is common among women who are expecting due to the rise in progesterone.

Thryroid hormones are also known to lead loss of to hair as is the case in hyperthyroidism. Some medications with severe side effects such as those used in cancer treatment can cause loss of hair. Other causes include

The most common yet unknown cause is dietary deficiencies of minerals and vitamins required for formation of hair. This is a common factor especially among those with protein malnutrition. The protein inadequacy will cause hair loss due to lack of sulphur binding amino acids such as cystein. Unknown to many, is the fact that the availability of the protein and essential amino acids is not a guarantee that the hair thinning will not occur. There is need for adequate supply of biotin.

Biotin is one of the micro-nutrients that are required in very small quantities. It is derived from the foods such as soya bean, brewer’s yeast, sunflower seeds. Therefore a deficit of this vitamin will occur due to inadequate dietary supply. It can also occur due to high protein diet which binds the vitamin. High acidity in the alimentary canal will also lead to low absorption of the vital vitamin.

Besides loss of hair, other signs of inadequate supply of the vitamin is skin rash and high heart rate. The most effective remedy for biotin hairloss is to increase the uptake of the foods that supply the vitamin.
