What Is Hair Loss?

Hair loss is the reduction of hair on the scalp or body, often resulting in bald spots or thinning areas. While common in both men and women, hair loss can vary in pattern, severity, and causes, which range from genetics to lifestyle factors. While some types of hair loss are temporary, often triggered by stress or health fluctuations, others may be gradual and permanent. Addressing hair loss early is key to restoring confidence and achieving effective results. Identifying the cause is the first step in creating a personalized treatment plan.

What Are the Causes of Hair Loss?

Genetics

Family history usually plays a significant role in pattern baldness.

Hormonal Changes

Hormone shifts due to pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid issues can lead to hair loss.

Medications

Certain medications cause hair loss as a common side effect.

Poor Nutrition

Insufficient intake of essential nutrients affects hair growth and health.

Smoking

Smoking accelerates hair loss by reducing blood flow to the scalp, increasing oxidative stress, and damaging hair follicles.

Stress

Both physical and emotional stress can lead to temporary hair shedding, known as telogen effluvium.

Rapid Weight Loss

This can directly lead to hair loss, often due to a combination of nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, stress on the body, and caloric restrictions. Hair typically starts shedding within two to three months of rapid weight loss and may continue until the body weight is stabilized.
