Under normal circumstances, every person loses 80 to 100 hair strands each day. However, if you are consistently losing more and more hair, you might feel gloomy if you start noticing that your hairline is receding or your hair is thinning. To turn the situation around, many women adopt measures such as using hair growth shampoo or serums, changing their diet, taking anti-hair loss drugs, undergoing hair transplant or hair regrowth treatments. Some even resort to using folk remedies such as rubbing brandy on their scalp. As a matter of fact, there are many reasons for hair loss, and these factors fall under two main categories—external and internal. To effectively treat hair loss, one has to first understand the root of the problem. This will prevent time and money from being wasted on ineffective treatments.
