Losing hair is something that many people obsess over, and that is quite understandable. Hair can be a source of pride and a unique feature of our person. There are many misconceptions about propensity for hair loss. The truth is that it is mostly tied to genetics, but there are certain activities we conduct that may speed up hair loss.
