It is natural to lose a little hair every day, but excessive hair loss can be mentally debilitating for many people. Only by knowing the real reasons behind this can the right solution be found. The main causes are:
Nutritional deficiency: Protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12 are essential for hair health. When these are deficient in the diet, the hair roots become weak and hair falls out.
Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes in the body during thyroid problems, PCOD, pregnancy, and postpartum are a major cause of hair loss.
Stress: When you experience severe stress, the hair growth phase suddenly stops and hair starts falling out in large quantities (Telogen Effluvium). Lack of sleep also contributes to this.
Unscientific hair care: Excessive heat styling (hair drying, straightening), shampoos containing strong chemicals, and tying hair tightly damage the hair strands.
Dandruff and scalp infections: Dandruff and fungal infections caused by poor scalp hygiene damage the hair roots and cause hair loss.
