Medical conditions
A variety of medical conditions can cause hair loss, including:
- Thyroid problems. The thyroid gland helps regulate hormone levels in your body. If the gland isn't working properly, hair loss may result.
- Alopecia areata. This disease occurs when the body's immune system attacks hair follicles — causing smooth, roundish patches of hair loss.
- Scalp infections. Infections, such as ringworm, can invade the hair and skin of your scalp, leading to hair loss. Once infections are treated, hair generally grows back.
- Other skin disorders. Diseases that can cause scarring, such as lichen planus and some types of lupus, can result in permanent hair loss where the scars occur.

Hair Care Tips
Along with getting the proper cut to keep your look fresh in between salon visits, styling starts with skilled blow-drying techniques. Read our fast dry techniques from our salon professionals.
Blow Drying Basics:
- Towel dry your hair - To avoid breakage, pat, don’t rub.
- Section off - Using hair clips or elastics, separate hair and dry one section at a time.
- Dry from the hair root, down the hair shaft, to the ends - Use a brush to direct heat from the dryer by pulling down in the natural direction of the hair from cuticle to ends.
- Even heat distribution - Avoid keeping the heat directed on one area for too long. This can cause breakage and excessive damage. Consider using a thermal protectant for even better results.
- Invest in a high quality professional dryer - You can dry your hair faster and produce better styles with the latest models of lightweight hair dryers. Ask a Salon of Elegance and Hair Loss Solutions professional for some more information.
