     Damage to the hair can be self inflicted either by intentional or unintentional means, and a hair loss remedy will be less efficient than avoiding the damage itself. Some people going through stress continuously pull at their hair until it comes out.

Trichotillomania or Hair Pulling

  Some children and less often adults play with their hair by pulling on it or twisting it. Dictionaries define trichotillomania as an irresistible urge to pull out your own hair. This can be part of a behavioral problem or a bad habit that is often done unconsciously. If the behavior is not stopped permanent hair loss can result from the constant stress on the hair. Its best to seek the help of a mental health professional to solve this problem before a hair loss remedy becomes an urgent need.

Hair Styling Treatments

  Many people change the appearance of their hair by using chemical treatments like dyes, tints, bleaches, straighteners, relaxers and permanent waves. If correctly done and done using reputable products, its rare to have any damage or to need a hair loss remedy. However, hair can become weak and break if any of these chemicals are used too often. Hair can also break if the solution is left on too long, if two procedures are done on the same day, or if bleach is applied to previously bleached hair. Some chemical relaxers do contain powerful chemicals and there have been instances of people get chemical burns from these products resulting in permanent hair loss. Only go to qualified hair stylists and if doing it yourself make sure you only use reputable products and follow the product directions. Otherwise you may end up needing a hair loss remedy.

Hair Braids / Weaves

  Many black women and some black men braid their hair or wear hair weaves. Under normal conditions these cause no problems. However if the weave is attached too tight or the braids are wrapped too tight, they put a constant strain on the hair follicle. If this is done for an extended period of time permanent hair loss can result, ad then a hair loss remedy will be necessary. This is known as Traction Alopecia and is fairly common among people who braid or weave their hair. Make sure the person applying the braids or weave is qualified to do so and don't wear braids or weaves continuously for extended periods of time.
