Hair fall is natural, but when we begin to notice rapid hair fall it's usually a sign that there's a chemical or hormonal imbalance due to illness or disease.
Certain medications can affect the hair growing cycle; follicles could be going into their dormant state when they should be growing.
Some medical conditions, as well as androgenetic alopecia, actually destroy hair follicles and the only way to regrow hair is by transplanting hair from the sides and back of the head to the balding area.
Hair transplants are expensive; so some people suffering from rapid loss of hair turn to cosmetic hair loss solutions.
There are strong medications and drugs on the market to treat hair fall and baldness, but the side effects from these products can be worse than the hair loss.
A large number of people use other cosmetic hair loss solutions depending on the area on the head that needs to be covered.
The most popular way to camouflage a slightly balding head is by creative hair styling.
If there is a considerable amount of bald area creative styling may not work, so some men and a few women will shave their heads, which is considered the ultimate creative hair styling choice.
Women with a considerable amount of hair fall use cosmetics products that thicken the existing hair.
Women also add fibers and dyes that blend it with the existing hair to give it more volume, but these solutions only work when there is minimal hair loss.
Hairpieces and wigs are always available.
They are the best solution for some men and women because the quality of wigs and hairpieces has improved over the years.
They come in all shapes and sizes, but they can be expensive.
