Hair Loss

What Is Hair Loss?

Hair loss is the thinning or shedding of hair that can occur due to factors like genetics, hormonal changes, stress, or aging. It may affect the scalp or other parts of the body and can happen gradually over time or suddenly in response to certain triggers. Hair loss can vary in severity, from mild thinning to more noticeable bald spots, impacting self-esteem and appearance. Understanding the underlying cause is essential for choosing the right treatment. Effective solutions are available to stimulate hair growth, improve thickness, and restore confidence.

What Are the Causes of Hair Loss?

  • Genetics: Hereditary hair loss, such as male or female pattern baldness, is the most common cause.
  • Hormonal Changes: Hormonal shifts during pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid disorders can trigger hair loss.
  • Stress: Physical or emotional stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to temporary shedding.
  • Nutritional Deficiencies: A lack of essential nutrients such as iron or biotin can weaken hair and cause thinning.
  • Medications: Drugs such as chemotherapy or certain antibiotics may lead to temporary or permanent hair loss.
