Usually, if you have problems with your hair it is because of bad use of cosmetic products or a vitamin currency or an iron currency.\nSTOP growing, really stop growing, could be the precursor of a serious disease but I don't think that this happens. \nTry to adopt a healthy way of eating and go to the drugstore in order to take a pharmacist's opinion about a good food supplement and maybe an essential oil that will help the situation hydrating the scalp.\n\nKaterina

The average person loses about 100 strands per day (while the average hair grows only 1/2 inch per month). So the more days you live, the more hairs you lose. While you can't stop time or heredity, you can do something about the way your hair appears, even if it's thinning.  Try the site below for information and products.  Good luck!

No natural cures for getting hair back.  Unless you were taking Steroids or chemotherapy,  most hair will return when you stop a medication that caused hairloss.

Actually, your hair keeps growing throughout your life (excluding the upper scalp hair on some men). It's just that the hair folicles each have a programed length to which the hair shaft will grow. When the shaft reaches that length, it falls out and a new one starts to grow. Obviously, for some folicles, this programed length is longer than it is for others. That is why body hair is usually shorter than head hair. This is also why it is silly for a man to start worrying about going bald just because he sees some hairs in his brush. We are all constantly shedding hairs that have reached their maximum length. So, seeing a few hairs come off is normal. You only need to worry about it if you see an actual thinning of the hair.

Chemotherapy (one of the treatments for some kinds of cancers) can cause hair loss. It kills rapidly growing cells like those int he hair follicles or the linign of the gut.\nBut hair doesn't always fall out and there are things like cold caps that can be worn on the head to help prevent hair loss.

stress 3 months ago will cause my hair to start to fall out, it does grow back as part of it's normal cycle. \nThere are creams you can rub in to your scalp to irritate the hair into growing. Failing this i did have my scalp injected which did work and was not as painful as i thought it was going to be.

normally hair loss is hereditary, but certain health conditions can cause hair loss as well; stress is another cause; best to see a specialist for the same.\n\napplication of warm coconut oil before going to bed & then washing with a mild shampoo next morning tends to help (2-3 times a week); avoid blow drying; if possible avoid shampoo & substitute with herbs like Shikakai & reetha (sorry don't know their english translations)  rubbing the nails of both hands against each other for not more than 5 minutes a day is supposed to be very good for the hair as well (something to do with accupressure)

Hormones, heredity, and society.  If you look hard enough you will see that almost everyone (male and female) has some facial hair under their nose as well as other places.  Females generally have lighter and much finer to the point of not being noticed.  If a girl hair starts to get thicker or darker in these "no hair" zones then a waxing, plucking, or creams are pulled out to remove them.\n\nHowever, as you grow older you will find hair will stop growing in normal areas as well as starting to growing in places you never thought of having hair whether-or-not you are male or female.

There are parts of your body that stop growing.  Your brain for example stops growing after about 10 to 12 years old.  Your eyes stop growing after about a month old.  Some other internal organs also stop growing.  \n\nBones (legs, arms, feet, etc) stop growing after about 18 to 20 years old for males, 16 for females.\n\nShort answer, if you have no serious diseases, your eyes cannot become smaller, but rather you are becoming larger.\n\nBTW interesting fact, your nose will never stop growing.  If it's big now, wait until you're 60.

no. It is genetic. It is not caused by any communicable germs, etc. It usually starts in childhood. It can go away on its own.\n\ntry the national alopecia foundation to learn more.

It's too much testosterone converting in your scalp to deaden hair folicles. Usually genetic. Or it could be a health issue. Check your family or check with your doctor (usually dermatologist)

shaving and cutting causes them to grow back thicker and darker, with a prickly feeling after just a few days.\n\ni am an advocate fo waxing and after consistently waxing my genital region (front and back - ouch!) for the past 4 years, i have noticed that they are very light, thin and soft now. The results of waxing last a few weeks too\n\nso i would suggest to u and ur friend that u understand that there is no real way of stopping hair growth totally, but u should start waxing regularly so that the hairs dont give u no trouble!

"What causes alopecia areata?\nAlopecia areata is classified as an autoimmune disease, but the cause is unknown. People who develop this type of baldness are generally in good health. Some scientists believe that some people are genetically predisposed to develop alopecia areata and that a trigger, such as a virus or something else in the environment, sets off the condition. A family history of alopecia areata makes you more likely to develop it. With alopecia areata, your hair generally grows back, but you may lose and regrow your hair a number of times.\n\nOther causes of temporary hair loss include:\n\n    * Disease. Diabetes, lupus and thyroid disorders can cause hair loss.\n    * Poor nutrition. Having inadequate protein or iron in your diet or poor nourishment in other ways can cause you to experience hair loss. Fad diets, crash diets and certain illnesses, such as eating disorders, can cause poor nutrition.\n    * Medications. Certain drugs used to treat gout, arthritis, depression, heart problems and high blood pressure may cause hair loss in some people. Taking birth control pills also may result in hair loss for some women.\n    * Medical treatments. Undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy may cause you to develop alopecia. After your treatment ends, your hair typically begins to regrow.\n    * Recent high fever, severe flu or surgery. You may notice you have less hair three to four months after events such as an illness or surgery. These conditions cause hair to shift rapidly into a resting phase (telogen effluvium), meaning you'll see less new hair growth. A normal amount of hair typically will appear after the growth phase resumes.\n    * Infancy. Newborns often lose hair during the first several months of life. This baby hair (vellus) is eventually replaced by more permanent hair. It's also common for babies to lose a patch of hair on the back of their heads from rubbing against mattresses, playpens and car seats. Hair will grow back once a baby begins to spend more time sitting up.\n    * Childbirth. Some women experience an increase in hair loss several months after delivering a baby. This is because during pregnancy the hair is shifted into an active growth state that then goes back to baseline soon after delivery. This increased hair loss usually corrects itself.\n    * Hair treatments. Chemicals used for dying, tinting, bleaching, straightening or perming can cause hair to become damaged and break off if they are overused or used incorrectly. Excessive hairstyling or hairstyles that pull your hair too tightly also can cause some hair loss. This is known as traction alopecia.\n    * Scalp infection. Infections such as ringworm can invade the hair and skin of your scalp, leading to hair loss. Once infections are treated, hair generally regrows. Ringworm, a fungal infection, can usually be treated with a topical or oral antifungal medication."
