Can’t stop hair fall? Let’s identify the causes! 5 main things that lead to hair fall
Hair fall is the biggest challenge in beauty care. There can be many physical and psychological reasons behind this problem, which is found in both men and women:
Genetics: This is the most common cause of hair loss. If someone in the family has baldness, it can be passed on to the next generation. This is called ‘androgenetic alopecia’.
Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and thyroid problems often cause hair loss in women. Hormonal imbalance in the body weakens the hair follicles.
Mental stress and trauma: Excessive hair loss occurs after excessive stress, surgeries, and severe fevers (for example, dengue fever, typhoid). This is called ‘Telogen Effluvium’.
Nutritional Deficiency: Deficiency of protein, iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and zinc directly affects hair health. Crash diets (fast weight loss diets) often cause hair loss.
Excessive use of chemicals and heat: Hair straightening, regular use of hair dye, and excessive use of blow dryers damage the hair roots and cause hair breakage.
