There are various factors that cause hair fall, hair loss and hair thinning problems. These hair loss causes range from heredity, ageing, underlying medical conditions, poor health habits, unhealthy lifestyle, infections and medications.
But do you know that there are certain popular hairstyles which can induce hair loss and hair thinning problems?
Indeed, there are certain hairstyles that paved the way for traction alopecia, a form of hair loss primarily due to the extreme force applied on the hair. The constant hair pulling over a long period of time may cause tension to the scalp and the hair follicles, leading to hair damage, or worse, hair loss and hair thinning condition.
Most people who are very fond of hairstyles such as tight ponytails and pigtails, cornrows and dreadlocks may experience hair loss due to the amount of stress applied to the scalp and the hair follicles.

Hair Loss Causes: How Bad Habits Affect Hair Quality
Hair fall, hair thinning and hair loss problems are a few of the conditions that all of us don’t want to experience or greatly dread.
Since our hair adds charm and beauty to our personality, the lack of it can make us look less desirable and years older, creating a devastating effect on our self-confidence and attitude towards life.
Indeed, losing our hair can make us lose our self-esteem in the process. It can create emotional constraints that can make us feel vulnerable and sad.
Hair loss and hair thinning problems are due to various factors. Some hair loss causes might be attributed to diseases, medications, infections, heredity and ageing. Still other causes are due to improper diet, poor hair care habits and an unhealthy lifestyle.
Smoking, drinking and over-styling the hair are poor lifestyle and hair care choices that cause hair loss and hair thinning problems in both men and women.

The Connection between Hair Loss and Vitamin D
While most physicians recommend vitamin B for hair loss treatment, a recent study revealed a connection between hair loss and vitamin D deficiency.
In the said research, vitamin D is believed to have a great impact in the quality of the hair. However, the researchers did not conclude that vitamin D supplementation will lead to hair regrowth.
What Is Vitamin D?
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that aids bone growth and calcium absorption. Calcium is essential in the production of healthier hair strands. In fact, deficiency of calcium may cause hair dryness leading to damaged hair, or worse, hair loss and hair thinning problems.
Research Study on Mice
An article published in the medical journal Endocrinology revealed the results of a clinical test done on mice which were hereditarily programmed to be hairless. In the said clinical test, vitamin D3 analogs were found to help stimulate hair growth in the hairless mice.
The researchers revealed that the vitamin D3 compounds stimulated the formation of normal hair follicles in mice that would otherwise not grow any hair. With that, many scientists and hair experts believed that this clinical test could pave the way for a potential hair loss treatment of the future.

I Have Found the Answer to My Hair Loss
The hair follicles on my head are genetically susceptible to baldness. As what I’ve read, these genetically vulnerable hair follicles are acted upon by the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone). DHT is the hormone that triggers hair loss in male and female pattern baldness. This hormone bound with my hair follicles and caused them to weaken over time which resulted to my partial hair loss.
I availed of the Leimo Free Hair Loss Treatment in UK and they sent me their Hair Treatment Pack. I’m not very sure which of the organic ingredients they used that stopped my hair loss, all I know is that all the wet products worked for me. I strongly think it’s because the Leimo wet products contain the most powerful anti-DHT formula created by nature itself. The line of wet products in the Leimo Hair Treatment Pack which they gave away is made from all-natural ingredients and proven safe and free from side effects. One of its most active ingredients is the Saw Palmetto.
According to my research, saw palmetto is an effective anti-androgen that initiates a marked decrease in the level of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body by blocking receptor sites of cell membranes as well as by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase—the enzyme that accounts for DHT.
I used the Leimo wet products on a daily basis and I got the best results. The Leimo Scalp Serum is dermatologist-formulated and made from nature’s most powerful ingredients designed to attack the main cause of hair loss which is dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
The Leimo Scalp Therapy is the intensive antioxidant that bathed my scalp with a rich blend of saw palmetto extracts—which served as protection from the damaging effects of DHT. It also promotes scalp circulation and reduces the build-up of DHT.
The Leimo Bio-Cleansing Shampoo is uniquely formulated with powerful BioGrowth system; it contains mistletoe and fennel extracts. With every use, it nourished my hair making it look healthy and clean, and along with the Thickening Conditioner, my hair is moisturized and strengthened. My scalp is cleansed from the excess sebum both deep within and on the surface with the help of the Scalp and Body Scrub, creating a healthy environment for hair regrowth.

A Natural Alternative to Man-Made Solutions for Hair Loss
Proving the many benefits of nature, saw palmetto is one of the most widely used herbal solutions for hair loss. Saw palmetto or Serenoa repens is a small sturdy cluster-forming palm that bears deep reddish-black to brown grape-sized berries. It is abundant in the southeastern coasts of the United States.
Treating prostate and urinary problems is the traditional use of saw palmetto. Because of its anti-androgenic properties, saw palmetto has been used to treat androgenetic alopecia (AGA) or pattern baldness.
It inhibits type II 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the key to AGA. By blocking the action of type II 5-AR, DHT levels are significantly reduced.
Unlike other popular anti-androgenic solutions for hair loss like finasteride, saw palmetto does not interfere with the production of testosterone which explains the absence of side effects.
How to Use Saw Palmetto
Like many treatments, there is no universal method of using saw palmetto for treating hair loss. Although there are general recommendations, physicians (that is, who would recommend saw palmetto) can have different prescriptions, depending on the patient’s tolerance until the correct balance is found.
Saw palmetto comes in forms of capsules, tablets, liquid extracts, and tea. Doctors would recommend taking it twice a day after breakfast and dinner.
According to the Nutritional Supplements Health Guide, the safe initial daily dosage of saw palmetto (in any form) is 200 mg which is advised to be split into two. Increases in the dosage should be consulted with a doctor.
Saw palmetto is not FDA-approved for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia even if it seldom produces side effects like many herbal medicines. It would be rare for the agency to do so.
FDA approval, on the other hand, doesn’t guarantee the safety or effectiveness of the product, however. Many FDA-approved solutions for hair loss have been pulled out from the market after doing damage.
