Hair Loss Vs Actual Facts
• Lots of knowledge passed down, over the ages about hair loss can help 
us in treating this condition. However, it seldom does, rather it 
deprives us from the actual information, blurring them in the cocoon of 
myths and old man’s tales. 
• Myths that are profound enough–thanks to strong stories passed down 
through generations and end up being eventually accepted as a fact.
• Well, it is easy for those myths to be accepted because of their closer 
association with common sense rather than end results.
1. Lack of protein is causing me Hair Loss
• As I said before, “based more on common sense 
than the actual facts”. Yes, hairs are made up of 
‘keratin’, a type of protein, and a lack of protein 
should thin them. But in real life this is seldom an 
issue, as people normally consume more than 
enough protein in their daily diet. 
• Thus, hair fall can occur due to lack of protein but 
this is not a very common situation, unless you 
were suffering from an ailment.
• Therefore, before rushing to buy protein rich 
foods, it is important to consider other factors 
that may cause hair fall.
2. Only Men Experience Hair Loss
• Have a quick glimpse, onto the various hair loss 
products being marketed on TV, in print or online these 
days, and you’ll be convinced that hair loss is a male 
specific problem.
• However, this analysis is far from truth, and studies 
have shown that there are considerable number of 
women who also suffer from hair loss; with some 55% 
of Australian women experiencing it at certain stages 
of their lives.
• The causes of hair loss are usually different for men 
and women and therefore the treatment for these two 
conditions may vary.
 Shampooing Too Often Leads to Hair Loss
• Yet another, interesting old man’s tale that is far from 
the truth.
• Truth to be told, washing hair is just like combing–an 
indicator that actually makes people more aware of the 
hairs they’re losing, rather than making them fall out as 
the myths indicate.
Hair Loss happens only after 40
• Hair fall is an everyday activity that can happen to 
anyone irrespective of age, sex, and climate. Yes, 
baldness normally do occurs after 40, especially 
patterned baldness; however, this isn’t an universal 
truth and there are many exceptions to it–it could be 
me, you or anyone. 
• This myth-buster is evident from many facts where 
young people–less than 40–some even in their 20s and 
30s–have shown considerable signs of the hereditary 
hair loss much earlier than previously speculated..
Myths Busted
• So, those were 4 hair loss myths that got busted. However, this is by no means an 
exhaustive list; there are still plenty of those myths–out there–still floating around.
• When it comes to hair loss, the only way to go beyond the rumours and old men 
tales is to consult a professional!
