Answer: Trichorrhexis Nodosa can be a genetic weakness within the hair shaft or weakness and breakage due to weathering i.e. over use of heat during the drying process or manual trauma due to tension on the hair from tight ponytail clasps, rollers (particularly velcro) or smoothing irons. Ultra violet light, central heating and the wind can all exacerbate this further and the condition will become progressive without correct treatment.

In cases where sudden hair loss and diffuse thinning happens the underlying causes need to be identified and treated. If left untreated then the hair loss tends to continue. The earlier a condition is identified the better the chances are for a recovery and a satisfactory cosmetic appearance.
Here are the main causes of sudden onset of hair loss that continue until the causes are treated:
1. Anaemia.
2. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a fairly common condition, affecting between 3% and 5% of women.
3. Malfunction of the Thyroid Gland.
4. Diabetes.
5. Systemic Lupus Erythematosis.
