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.
