Hair Loss

Hair thinning or excessive hair fall can be distressing, whether it’s along the hairline, at the crown or as general shedding. While occasional hair loss is normal, persistent thinning may point to underlying factors such as stress, hormonal changes or scalp inflammation.

What Is Hair Loss?

Hair loss occurs when the natural hair growth cycle is disrupted. This may lead to slower regrowth, thinning strands or increased hair fall. It can happen gradually or suddenly, depending on the cause.

Hair loss may be temporary or long-term. Identifying the root cause is key to selecting the right treatment and preventing further loss.

Types of Hair Loss

There are different forms of hair loss, each with distinct patterns and causes:

  • Androgenetic alopecia: Also known as male or female pattern baldness
  • Telogen effluvium: Sudden hair shedding due to stress, illness or hormonal shifts
  • Alopecia areata: Autoimmune condition causing patchy hair loss
  • Traction alopecia: From tight hairstyles or repeated pulling
  • Postpartum hair loss: Common after childbirth
  • Scalp inflammation: May affect follicle function and hair density

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss can be triggered by a combination of internal and external factors:

  • Hormonal changes: Such as PCOS, thyroid issues or menopause
  • Stress and illness: Physical or emotional stress can shock the hair cycle
  • Genetics: Family history plays a role in pattern baldness
  • Scalp health: Inflammation or poor circulation may weaken follicles
  • Nutrient deficiencies: Low levels of iron, zinc or protein
  • Medication or lifestyle: Certain drugs, crash dieting or over-styling
