What are the major causes of hair loss? How can we prevent it?

Exposure to moisture content is vital for the hair follicle as the dry hair is prone to get shed off at the earliest. It is not always because the scalp is dry and cannot produce enough moisture. Rather sometimes, the hair follicles themselves lack the properties which are necessary for them to keep the moisture content. 

What happens when the hair follicles are dry? 

The dry follicles cannot promote regrowth as they become dull and frizzy in texture. The long term attainment of the same texture will eventually lead the hair follicles to shed off. 

How is oil produced in the scalp? 

Some kinds of glands are present in our body and are responsible for producing the oil for making the skin lubricated and moisturized. These glands are known as the sebaceous glands. If sebum is not present in adequate amounts, then the hair follicles can easily get damaged by external factors. These factors may include the following: 

• Smoking 
• Exposure to Sunlight 
• Humidity 
• Medications ( Whether prescribed or non prescribed)

What are the causes which are responsible for making the hair dry? 

The hair becomes dry because of the following:
