What is Hair Loss?

Hair loss, medically known as alopecia, is the gradual or sudden thinning of hair from the scalp. It’s a common concern affecting millions globally, causing emotional distress and impacting self-esteem. While losing up to 100 hair strands daily is considered normal, excessive or noticeable hair loss requires investigation.

Causes of Hair Loss
  • Genetics: Hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is a common cause.
  • Hormonal changes: Hair loss can occur due to hormonal fluctuations, such as during pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or thyroid issues.
  • Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions or their treatments (e.g., chemotherapy) can contribute to hair loss.
  • Nutritional deficiencies: Deficiencies in iron, vitamin D, or other essential nutrients can impact hair health.

  • Hair care practices: Tight hairstyles, harsh chemicals, or excessive heat styling can damage hair and lead to breakage.
  • Age: Hair growth naturally slows down and thins with age.
