What's Hair Fall 

What is Hair Fall?

Hair fall means excessive shedding of hair from the scalp. Normally, a person loses around 50 to 100 strands per day, which is considered normal. But when a person starts losing more than 150 to 200 strands daily, it is considered abnormal hair fall. Hair thinning, bald patches, widening parting line and visible scalp are signs of hair loss.

Causes of Hair Fall

Main Causes of Hair Problems

There are many internal and external causes of hair fall and hair weakness. Both men and women can experience these issues due to the following reasons:

• Hormonal imbalance: Thyroid disorder, PCOS in women, androgen hormones in men cause hair fall.
• Stress and Anxiety: High mental pressure directly affects hair roots and reduces growth.
• Nutritional deficiencies: Low iron, zinc, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and protein causes weak hair.
• Dandruff and fungal infection: Causes itching, scaling and damage to hair roots.
• Genetic factors: Especially male pattern baldness and female pattern thinning.
• Use of chemical products: Hair colors, smoothing, rebounding and heat styling damage hair.
• Poor diet: Eating junk food, oily food, low protein diet weakens hair follicles.
• Pregnancy or childbirth: Sudden hormonal changes lead to heavy hair shedding.
• Ageing: With age, hair becomes thin, dry and grey.
• Medications: Certain drugs, antibiotics, steroids and chemotherapy cause hair loss.

Types of Hair Loss

Hair Problems in Males

Men usually suffer from androgenic alopecia also known as male pattern baldness. It starts with receding hairline from the front and thinning on the crown area. Excessive testosterone converts into DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) which weakens hair roots. Other causes include stress, smoking, poor nutrition and family history.

Hair Problems in Females

Women often face diffuse hair thinning, postpartum hair fall, PCOS-related hair loss and stress-induced shedding. Hormonal imbalance, low haemoglobin, iron deficiency and thyroid disorders play a major role. Tight hairstyles and chemical treatments make the condition worse.

Diagnosis of Hair Problems

To diagnose hair fall, doctors check scalp condition and hair root strength. They may suggest:

• Blood test for iron, thyroid, vitamin D and B12
• Hair pull test
• Scalp examination
• Hormonal evaluation for women

Prevention Tips
