Hair loss can be due to many reasons, even a slightest change in weather can cause hair loss. Or if we go towards more complicated reasons then it includes emotional stress, pregnancy, anxiety, physical trauma etc. this further adds some serious medical problems like poly cystic ovary syndrome, anemia, trichotillomania, hypothyroidism, autoimmune related hair loss etc. The thinning or reduction of hair is also due to some deficiencies or excess of nutrients which our body is going through which includes, too much vitamin A, vitamin B deficiency, lack of protein. Hair loss is usually hereditary i.e. your family decides whether you’ll be prone to hair loss or not, and that’s the most specific reason for the loss of hair. Well after getting know about a lot of reasons, you need not to be worried as hair transplant will always remain an option.
Males and females have different patterns for hair loss. Yes! You read it right, even a thing like losing hair is different in both the genders. Pattern hair loss, which is known as male-pattern hair loss (MPHL) as it affects the males and female-pattern hair loss (FPHL) as it affects the females, is hair lossthat actually affects the front and top of the scalp. In males, the hair loss presents as a receding hairline, while in females, it presents as a thinning of the hair. The hair loss pattern in males is believed to be due to a combination of genetics and the male hormone called as dihydro testosterone. The cause in female pattern hair loss remains unclear to this date. Hair loss pattern by the age of fifty affects about half of the males and a quarter of the females. Even if these patterns are different, the treatment remains the same foe male and females. PRP hair treatment is the most used technique in this time.
Preventive health maintenance is very important. Many diseases often have no advance symptoms. So even if you feel well you can identify them before they become advanced.

If we relate hair loss to drug addiction, then it’s definitely possible as everyone knows that excess of anything can be dangerous.There is some debate over the matter as to date there have been no large scale studies on hair loss as a direct result of human use of drug. However, there is a link. Taking recreational drugs cause a significant rise in Adrenalin level and this can affect the body and subsequently the hair growth cycle.All recreational drugs have the ability to cause a type of hair loss called as telogen effluvium because taking the drugs can cause a shock to the system. As a result, a certain hair follicle will prematurely stop growing and enter the resting i.e. Telogen phase, where it remains for three months, after which time it is shed. If the person stops taking drugs and the body is able to re balance itself naturally, then the hair would return to the normal growth cycle approximately six months after leaving the drugs. Some drugs can also lead to another condition, called as Diffuse thinning. In which the hair loss sometimes, is a secondary effect of drug intake, usually Cocaine, due to malnutrition as most regular users do not tend to have the appetite to eat healthy. It is difficult to say that who is going to be the victim of this condition.
But another question arises that just like the hair loss patterns, does the tolerance of an individual to a certain drug matters?Tolerance for the quantity of drug which people take or frequency of intake varies between individuals. That means one person can be affected by just one or two drug binges yet we know about many celebrities who are drug addicts but still have a lot of hair and regularly take drugs. This shows their increased tolerance towards drugs.
The regularuse of some recreational drugs will also generally lead to health illness and feeling ‘run-down’ which can affect sleep patterns and further lowers a person’s immune system. Again, these factors contribute to a weak hair growth cycle and exacerbate other hair loss conditions such as male baldness and female hair loss.
There are some products which also cause hair loss, but they aren’t pure drugs. These are substances mixed with drugs. Hair loss may be related to adulterated drugs. Powder that is sold as cocaine is often found to be adulterated with thallium salts (rat poison). A study showed that, after using such adulterated cocaine, individuals had developed extensive hair loss. Thallium is known to cause thinning of hair due to telogen effluvium at low doses and would kill people at higher doses.
