What is Hair Fall?
Hair fall refers to the excessive shedding of hair strands from the scalp — more than the normal 50–100 strands/day. It may result in hair thinning, bald patches, or reduced density over time.
It’s important to understand whether your hair loss is temporary, progressive, or hereditary — as the treatment approach will vary.
Types of Hair Fall:
- Telogen Effluvium
Sudden, excessive hair shedding triggered by stress, illness, or nutritional deficiency. - Androgenetic Alopecia (Male/Female Pattern Baldness)
Gradual hair thinning due to genetics and hormone sensitivity. - Alopecia Areata
Autoimmune condition causing patchy hair loss. - Anagen Effluvium
Rapid hair loss caused by chemotherapy or toxic exposure. - Traction Alopecia
Hair loss due to tight hairstyles, pulling, or hair extensions.
Common Causes of Hair Thinning and Hair Fall Include:
- 1. Hormonal Imbalance
- PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, post-pregnancy hormone drop, or menopause.
- 2. Nutritional Deficiencies
- Lack of iron, biotin, protein, zinc, vitamin D, and B12.
- 3. Stress or Illness
- Physical or emotional stress, surgeries, high fevers, or viral infections (e.g., COVID) can trigger telogen effluvium.
- 4. Genetics
- Hereditary pattern baldness in both men and women.
- 5. Underlying Medical Conditions
- Diabetes, autoimmune diseases, lupus, or scalp psoriasis.
- 6. Medications
- Blood pressure drugs, acne meds, antidepressants, or chemotherapy.
- 7. Chemical or Heat Damage
- Overuse of straightening, coloring, bleaching, or harsh products.
- 8. Scalp Issues
- Dandruff, fungal infections, or clogged hair follicles.
- 9. Age-Related Thinning
- Natural reduction in follicle activity with age.
