Hair Loss
Prevention
Hair loss that is caused by medicines, stress, lack of protein or iron, or hair care may be prevented. Avoiding certain medicines, reducing stress, getting adequate protein and iron in your diet, and using hairstyles that do not damage your hair may reduce or prevent hair loss.
Inherited hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) cannot be prevented.
