Can using gel really cause hair loss?

Can using gel really cause / contribute to hair loss? Or is it purely hereditary? Ive been told two different things so if someone could confirm whether gel does or doesnt cause hair loss that'd be great as I worry about using gel these days. ThanksCan using gel really cause hair loss?
I would say not to use chemicals on your hair.Why don't you go for some home remedies. Egg whites, lemon juice, oil massages, reducing stress and diet changes can reduce hair fall and make it healthier. You can find more cheap, effective and natural home remedies for hair loss as well as for healthy hair at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/hairfall.htm鈥?/a>Can using gel really cause hair loss?

No, good commercial-grade hair gels will not cause hair loss.
Well, I'm in Figure/Synchronized Skating, and so when a competition pops up, which is to say every other week, I have to slick back my hair completely so that it is rock hard. But if you are just talking about curling your hair with gel, well, I do that a lot too, and I can tell you I still get plenty of people telling me that I have a head full of hair, as I have always had thick hair my whole life! It's never done anything to me, but maybe if you have thinner hair, then your hair is weaker, so if your are constantly pulling it back and gelling it, it might make your hair weaker, so that it falls out. It really all depends on your hair type! Maybe you are thinking of sew-in hair extentions, which have been proven DO make your hair fall out so that you will become bald in certain patches? But hair gel doesnt make your hair fall out, it just makes it dryer, and can make dandruff worse, and give you a dry scalp, but only very mildly. If you hardly ever use it, like maybe 2-3 times a month/every 3 weeks, it won't harm you.
Firstly, Hair Gel dosent directly cause hair loss. Hair drys and damages ur hair, which ';Can'; cause some hairfall, but not due to scalp problems. Due to brittle hair, hair breakage.





You shudnt apply oil on wet hair. Its bad for ur scalp. I dont know if that will result on dandruff or not, but i know it will clogg ur pores in the scalp and ur scalp wont be able to breath. so you might get a lotta hair problems due to that.

I started a blog to help people who are suffering from hair loss to get to know WHY it's happening and HOW to solve it.

I guarantee you, you won't regret it!
Baldness or hair loss is usually something only adults need to worry about. But in a few cases, teens lose their hair, too 鈥?and it may be a sign that something's going on.





Hair loss during adolescence can mean a person may be sick or just not eating right. Some medications or medical treatments, like chemotherapy treatment for cancer, also cause hair loss. People can even lose their hair if they wear a hairstyle that pulls on the hair for a long time, such as braids.





Losing hair can be stressful during a time when you're already concerned about appearance. Most of the time, hair loss during the teen years is temporary. With temporary hair loss, the hair usually grows back after the problem that causes it is corrected.


Hair Basics





Our hair is made of a type of protein called keratin. A single hair consists of a hair shaft (the part that shows), a root below the skin, and a follicle, from which the hair root grows. At the lower end of the follicle is the hair bulb, where the hair's color pigment, or melanin, is produced.





Most people lose about 50 to 100 head hairs a day. These hairs are replaced 鈥?they grow back in the same follicle on your head. This amount of hair loss is totally normal and no cause for worry. If you're losing more than that, though, something might be wrong.





heathIf you have hair loss and don't know what's causing it, talk to your doctor. A doctor can determine why the hair is falling out and suggest a treatment that will correct the underlying problem, if necessary.


What Causes Hair Loss?





Here are some of the things that can cause hair loss in teens:





* Illnesses or medical conditions. Endocrine (hormonal) conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes or thyroid disease, can interfere with hair production and cause hair loss. People with lupus can also lose hair. The hormone imbalance that occurs in polycystic ovary syndrome can cause hair loss in teen girls as well as adult women.


* Medications. Some medications that have hair loss as a side effect may be prescribed for teens. These include acne medicines like isotretinoin, and lithium, which is used to treat bipolar disorder. Diet pills that contain amphetamines also can cause hair loss. Chemotherapy drugs for cancer are probably the most well-known medications that cause hair loss


* Alopecia areata. This skin disease causes hair loss on the scalp and sometimes elsewhere on the body. It affects 1.7% of the population, including more than 5 million people in the United States. Alopecia areata (pronounced: al-uh-pee-shuh air-ee-ah-tuh) is thought to be an autoimmune disease, in which the hair follicles are damaged by a person's own immune system. (In autoimmune diseases, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, tissues, and organs in a person's body.) Alopecia areata usually starts as one or more small, round bald patches on the scalp. These can get bigger, and in a small number of cases, can progress to total hair loss. Both guys and girls can get it, and it often begins in childhood. The hair usually grows back within a year, but not always. Sometimes people with alopecia areata lose their hair again.


* Trichotillomania (pronounced: trik-o-til-uh-may-nee-uh). Trichotillomania is a psychological disorder in which people repeatedly pull their hair out, often leaving bald patches. It results in areas of baldness and damaged hairs of different lengths. People with trichotillomania usually need professional help from a therapist or other mental health professional before they are able to stop pulling their hair out.


* Hair treatments and styling. Having your hair chemically treated, such as getting your hair colored, bleached, straightened, or permed, can cause damage that may make the hair break off or fall out temporarily. Another type of baldness that results from hair styling actually can be permanent: Wearing hair pulled so tightly that it places tension on the scalp can result in a condition called traction alopecia. Traction alopecia can be permanent if the style is worn for a long enough time that it damages the hair follicles.


* Poor nutrition. Poor eating can contribute to hair loss. This is why some people with eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia lose their hair: The body isn't getting enough protein, vitamins, and minerals to sustain hair growth. Some teens who are vegetarians also lose their hair if they don't get enough protein from non-meat sources. And some athletes are at higher risk for hair loss because they may be more likely to develop iron-deficiency anemia.


* Disruption of the hair growth cycle. Some major events can alter the hair's growth cycle temporarily. For example, delivering a baby, having surgery, or going through a traumatic event can temporarily cause shedding of large amounts of hair. Because the hair we see on our heads has actually taken months to grow, a person might not notice any disruption of the hair growth cycle until months afte
no stress is what makes your jair fall out and it makes your hair go grey
That's just a myth. Hair products usually aren't necessarily good for your hair, but it's not going to make your hair fall out. Hair loss can be heriditary, and I wouldn't worry about using gel at all.
