An allergic reaction to any constituent in shampoo or
hair products can cause hair loss. Shampoos are
designed to be as safe as possible, although there is
always someone who will react to them. Caustic hair
dyes, straighteners, and other products can certainly
cause inflammation of the scalp and result in hair
loss.

Can my hairstyle cause my hair to fall out?

Certain hairstyles can contribute to hair loss, most
notably styles involving tight braids or pull-backs.
This form of hair loss is called traction alopecia. This
occurs when the hair is pulled tightly back and
fastened at the base of the skull, or braided into
tight braids or rows. Exposure to this type of hairstyle
over long periods can result in a scarring alopecia,
with no potential for regrowth.

If you are uncertain about the condition of your hair and scalp then take advice from a qualified trichologist.
