Well, i know hair loss is not a disease, but i just discover that many people don't feel free when they discover that they are lossing hairs from the top of their heads. Does this always lead to baldness? Can anything be said or done about this issue, if yes, what is it ?

Actually, some forms of hair loss are a"disease". Alopecia is an inherited condition where one simply loses the hair on vaious parts of the body. I know anorexics and people with eating disorders can lose their hair due to vitamin deficiency. People going on and off certain forms of birth control and hormones can lose their hair. Women who have just had a baby experience a dramatic change in hormones and can lose their hair. Today, people can get hair transplants which sometimes"take", but basically I don't think there is anything that can be done about it.

not nesseraly most hair loss is genaric,from the maternel side of the family,losing hair on top dosn't mean it's fallingout, We all lose hairs everyday. between 30 and 8o, depending on how thick it is. just keep the scalp clean wash your hair every day, using two soaping to keep thescalp free, of oil scales.(commonly called dandruff).

hair loss is hereditary. in short, there is nothing you can do about it unless you edit your GENES. so those hair growth products are pretty much lying.

And with a little nurturing, lush, glossy hair will be yoursESSENTIALS FOR FALLING HAIR -Does your hair fall often Arm yourself with these tools to combat hair fall.Wide-toothed combGet yourself a wide-toothed comb. This is probably one of the most important yet underutilized of all hair tools. A wide-toothed comb helps you distribute conditioner evenly all over your hair while shampooing and conditioning. In addition, it also helps get rid of knots smoothly.The best time to get rid of knots is during conditioning. Apply conditioner and run a wide toothed comb gently through your hair.While untangling dry hair, do so in sections. Take one section at a time, and first, untangle the ends of your hair. Do so slowly, and don?t pull unless you want your hair to fall out in clumps or break.Don?t wait for the last minute before detangling your hair. Every night, while sitting in front of the television, run a wide toothed comb gently through your hair, until you have untangled it completely. Do this every night, and you will notice that your hair remains free from tangles.Leave-in conditionerDry hair tends to tangle easily, and, needless to say, causes it to break. Make sure your hair is never devoid of moisture by always keeping a bottle of leave-in conditioner handy. The next time you feel your hair is dry and rough to the touch, simply rub a dollop of leave-in conditioner between your palms, and apply it to your hair. Comb through with your wide toothed comb. Your hair will be instantly rejuvenated and moisturized. Gradually, the texture will also improve. This is a must if you blow dry your hair regularly, or if it is chemically treated. Such hair constantly craves moisture, so get yourself a bottle of leave-in conditioner.OilOlive, almond and coconut oils are all excellent for the hair. While you could apply oil as an alternative to leave-in conditioner, oil tends to make your hair sticky, and you cannot style your hair well after applying oil. Your only alternative would then be to tie up your hair. For better results with oil, apply just a few drops immediately after washing your hair, when your hair is still dripping wet. Oil doesn?t penetrate the strands as easily as leave-in conditioner does though. Nothing beats a hot oil massage followed by a steam treatment, as the steam helps the oil penetrate the hair strands, strengthening them and curtailing hair fall.EggEgg is great for the hair ? there are no two ways about it! True, it causes a tremendous stink in the bathroom, and your hair may let off an ?eggy? smell, but the results are instantaneous and worth it! Egg strengthens your hair almost immediately, and the egg yolk leaves your hair shining. Whip an egg with two tablespoons of olive oil and apply it to your hair. Wash off after half an hour. Make sure you wash off with cold water though, or the egg will start cooking in your hair, and would be harder to take off! Use a scented shampoo to counter the smell of egg in your hair, and follow up with a leave-in conditioner. Do this for a month, and you will be amazed by the change in your hair texture and the reduction in hair fall.

Here are some tips to avoiding the hair loss:-

• Eating a balanced diet and taking vitamin and mineral supplements to avoid losing hair due to a vitamin or iron deficiency.
• Avoiding hair treatments that can damage hair; this includes bleaching, hot rollers, frequent perming, hot curling irons, and repeated brushing and combing under hot hair dryers.
• Alternate hairstyles that put tension on hair, such as ponytails and braids, with looser hairstyles to avoid a constant pull that causes some hair loss.
• When the hair is wet, avoid brisk rubbing with a towel; blot the hair dry instead.
• Avoid vigorous combing and brushing the hair when it is wet, because its structure is more fragile then.
