Effective Ways to Promote Hair Growth and Prevent Hair Loss

Hair loss can take an emotional toll on us. Having beautiful thick hair could be one among the top wish lists of many of us, but on the other side, hair loss has become one of our major concerns. Hair loss is common among men and women due to various reasons like genetics, work stress, side effects of medicines and treatments, hormonal imbalance in the body at the time of pregnancy or menopause. When hair loss is common in both genders, the type of hair loss men and women face could be different. Male or female pattern baldness, commonly known as androgenic alopecia usually occurs over the age of 50. Men may come across complete baldness, unlike the female. Thinning may occur in females, but it’s less likely that they completely go bald.
