Smoking and Hair Loss

If you are skeptical about whether smoking can cause hair loss or not, a recent study says ‘yes’. A recent observational study has found that smoking can cause hair loss and also baldness.

There are many ways cigarette smoking can cause hair loss, and most of these are related to the effects of cigarette smoke on your hair follicle. Cigarette smoke contains almost 4,000 lethal and damaging chemicals that can cause normal hair loss.

Smoking also causes dull, lank and smelly hair. Not only your smoking habit affects the look and smell of your hair, it can also make your hair break off.

Smoking stops the flow of an adequate amount of oxygen and nutrients through your blood. Because your hair does not get the right amount of the vital nutrients, your hair becomes unhealthy and may also break off.

So if you are already a smoker, give up the smoking habit for shiny and healthy hair.
