Dear, Sura Saad ,,,
Some chemical cosmetic and shampoo are considered as important reasons for hair loss. Also pregnancy in women leads to fail the hair.
I absolutely agree with Yehya A. Salih and Ali A. Al- Homaidan, cancer chemical therapy causes hair loss. As well as genetic causes and hormonal disturbances also may lead to hair loss.
I think either because of genetic factors or because of the use of chemical products.
I absolutely agree with Yehya A. Salih and Majeed Rashid Zaidan as well as with Satish Narula, all these factors can cause hair loss.
Thanks a lot Dr. Manal, Dr. Arvind, Dr. Satish, Dr. Sura and other colleagues, really, its very useful discussion. You have encouraged us to know more informations. So the using of chemical products remains the serious reason for hair loss.

- Hormonal changes and medical conditions. A variety of conditions can cause permanent or temporary hair loss, including hormonal changes due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and thyroid problems. Medical conditions include alopecia areata ), which causes patchy hair loss, scalp infections such as ringworm and a hair-pulling disorder called trichotillomania .
- Medications and supplements. Hair loss can be a side effect of certain drugs, such as those used for cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, gout and high blood pressure.
- Radiation therapy to the head. The hair may not grow back the same as it was before.
- A very stressful event. Many people experience a general thinning of hair several months after a physical or emotional shock. This type of hair loss is temporary.
- Certain hairstyles and treatments. Excessive hairstyling or hairstyles that pull your hair tight, such as pigtails or cornrows, can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia. Hot oil hair treatments and permanents can cause inflammation of hair follicles that leads to hair loss. If scarring occurs, hair loss could be permanent.

Most baldness is caused by genetics (male-pattern baldness and female-pattern baldness). This type of hair loss is not preventable.
These tips may help you avoid preventable types of hair loss:
Avoid tight hairstyles, such as braids, buns or ponytails.
Avoid compulsively twisting, rubbing or pulling your hair.
Treat your hair gently when washing and brushing. A wide-toothed comb may help prevent pulling out hair.
Avoid harsh treatments such as hot rollers, curling irons, hot oil treatments and permanents.
Avoid medications and supplements that could cause hair loss.
Protect your hair from sunlight and other sources of ultraviolet light.
Stop smoking. Some studies show an association between smoking and baldness in men.
If you are being treated with chemotherapy, ask your doctor about a cooling cap. This cap can reduce your risk of losing hair during chemotherapy.
The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition called male-pattern baldness or female-pattern baldness. It usually occurs gradually with aging and in predictable patterns — a receding hairline and bald spots in men and thinning hair in women.
