Tips & Warnings

• Familairize yourself with the causes of baldness. You may lose large amounts of hair a couple months after major surgery; this condition is brought on by the stress of illness. Hair loss may also be caused by a hormone imbalance, or by medicines such as blood thinners, birth control pills and antidepressants. It may be triggered by a fungal infection, or by diseases such as lupus and diabetes. The pulling that results from hairstyles like pigtails and cornrows can trigger a form of baldness known as alopecia. However, the most common form of hair loss is a genetic condition known as male- or female-pattern baldness.
• If your hair loss occurs suddenly and is marked by excessive, rapid thinning, see a doctor. Your problem could be the symptom of a serious ailment that requires medical attention.
• Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary health care provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.
