You do not indicate your age, but here is general health information about hair.

Hair disorders is a broad category that includes the following conditions:

Alopecia: the loss or thinning of hair. There are two types of alopecia: scarring, in which hair follicles are destroyed, and nonscarring, which can be reversed.

Male-pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia): This is the most prominent type of hair disorder affecting, to varying degrees, half of all men over 50 years of age.

Hirsutism: excessive male-pattern hair growth affecting 8%of adult women.

Hair shaft disorders: usually hereditary abnormalities.

Signs and Symptoms

Hair disorders are accompanied by the following signs and symptoms, depending on the type:

Alopecia (nonscarring) involves hair loss all over or in circular areas, a receding hair line, broken hairs, a smooth scalp, inflammation, and possibly loss of lashes, eyebrows, or pubic hair.

Alopecia (scarring) is limited to particular areas. Symptoms are inflammation at the edge and follicle loss toward the center of lesions, violet-colored skin abnormalities, and scaling.

Hirsutism is male-pattern hair growth in women, irregular menstruation, lack of ovulation, acne, deepening of voice, balding, and genital abnormalities.

Symptoms of Hair shaft disorders are split ends and hair that is dry, brittle, and coarse, as well as skin and other abnormalities.

What Causes It?

Hair disorders can be caused by any of the following:

Alopecia (nonscarring) -- skin disorders, certain drugs, certain diseases, autoimmunity, iron deficiency, severe stress, scalp radiation, pregnancy, or pulling at your own hair.

Alopecia (scarring) -- skin disorders, diseases, or bacterial infections.

Hirsutism -- excess of androgen (a steroid hormone that stimulates development of male sex organs and secondary sexual characteristics). This overproduction of androgen could result from certain drugs or conditions.

Hair shaft disorders -- overprocessed hair (coloring, permanent waves, excessive heating) or certain diseases.

Who's Most At Risk?

People with the following conditions or characteristics are at risk for developing hair disorders:

Alopecia -- male gender, genetic predisposition, pregnancy, physical or emotional stress, poor diet.

Hirsutism -- genetic predisposition, lack of ovulation.

Hair shaft disorders -- genetic predisposition, damaging grooming practices.

What to Expect at Your Provider's Office

If you are experiencing symptoms associated with a hair disorder, you should see your health care provider. A physical exam can help identify the type of hair disorder, and laboratory tests can reveal any underlying diseases. In the case of hirsutism, imaging may help diagnose the cause.

How could I strenghten my hair follicles to prevent hair loss?

Tie you hair to a 2lb weight (if you have lots of long hair you may need several weights tied to different sections of hair) and gently swing your head in a circle, with your face down looking at the floor one way for 5 minutes and then the other way for 5 minutes. Then lay on your back on the edge of the bed or a couch with your head hanging over the edge looking at the ceiling and do your two directions of swinging. Do this 3 times a week with a full day's rest in between so the follicles can recover.

Increase the weight a little each week or so until about 10lbs. If you use more weight or do it more often your follicles will tend to get overly bulky.

Also, do not wash your hair for the first week to 10 days. While your hair gets used to all this exercise it will tend to sweat and this washes away oils. Let the oils build up the best they can for that 7-10 days and then your hair should be in better condition. It's okay to wear a loose hat when not exercising.

Eat lots of uncooked protein like beef and fish, especially that first 7-10 days.

Good luck.
