It’s theme day over at the Science and Health Channel for b5media. Today’s theme is a top 10 list of my choice. So my choice is….why I will be bald by the age of 40.

So let’s get started…Here is the list

1. A really bad day at work – ok a somewhat mediocre day at work, has me pulling my strands of hair.
2. I have no immune system – I am frequently battling viruses and other infections -so I get fevers for long periods at a time -fevers are a known cause for hair loss.
3. Poor Nutrition – A balanced diet may help prevent hair loss – I definitely need to reexamine my diet
4. I can not stand head massages -a scalp massage, can increase blood flow to the head. I can not have my head touched. I know it sounds weird – I can’t quite explain it
5. My father is follicle challenged – hair loss is hereditary – and it doesn’t just come from the maternal side
6. I don’t own any chickens
7. I wear my hair in a ponytail almost everyday – hair styles where you pull the hair back and secure in elastics (such as braids or ponytails) can cause baldness
8. I am iron deficient (not exactly anemic – but low on iron, just the same) – deficiency of protein and iron can cause hair loss
9. Hair loss occurs for most people between the ages of 20 and 50 – I am between those ages
10. I occasionally colour treat my hair – hair that has been treated chemically can react – and fall out

Are you destined for hair loss, because of how you live?
