What causes hair loss?

Alopecia is the general medical term for hair loss, and it has many
different causes. Normal human hairs can be classified according to their
phases of growth. Anagen is the growing stage of hair, while telogen is
the sleeping stage of hair. About 80 percent of the hairs in the human
scalp are growing hairs and about 20 percent of them are sleeping hairs.
It has been estimated that the scalp normally contains about 100,000
hairs. Therefore, the average number of hairs that can be lost in a day is
about 100. Contrary to popular belief, neither shaving nor hormonal
changes, such as menstruation, has any effect upon hair growth.
Hair loss can be broken down into several different types, including
alopecia areata (temporary hair loss in a coin-shaped patch), telogen
effluvium (temporary hair loss secondary to a stressor on the system), and
androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern hair loss). For the purposes of our
discussion, we will focus on male-pattern hair loss. It generally shows
itself in the 20s or early 30s by gradual loss of hair, chiefly on the top
of the head and in the angles at the frontal hairline. There are several
different patterns to this hair loss, but male-pattern hair loss is the
most frequently encountered type. The exact mechanisms are still unknown.
We have no doubt, however, that inherited factors and the effect of
androgens (male hormones) on the hair are most responsible.

Is stress a factor in hair loss?

Stress does not cause hair loss—it simply makes a bad situation worse.
Telogen effluvium, for example, occurs after an insult to the system. The
most common cause is pregnancy. This can result in extensive and worrisome
hair loss in women in the first few months after the birth of a baby. It
is, however, temporary and returns completely.

Does Provillus have any side effects?

No. Provillus does not have any known side effects.
Do shampoos and other hair products cause hair loss?
An allergic reaction to any constituent in shampoo or hair products can
cause hair loss. Shampoos are designed to be as safe as possible, although
there is always someone who will react to them. Caustic hair dyes,
straighteners, and other products can certainly cause inflammation of the
scalp and result in hair loss.

Can my hairstyle cause my hair to fall out?

Certain hairstyles can contribute to hair loss, most notably styles
involving tight braids or pull-backs. This form of hair loss is called
traction alopecia. This occurs when the hair is pulled tightly back and
fastened at the base of the skull, or braided into tight braids or rows.
Exposure to this type of hairstyle over long periods can result in a
scarring alopecia, with no potential for regrowth.
