Why does hair loss happen?

Why does hair loss happen?

Hair loss can occur due to various factors, including:

Genetics: The most common cause of hair loss is hereditary hair loss, also known as male-pattern baldness or female-pattern baldness. This type of hair loss is often influenced by genetic factors and typically occurs as people age.

Hormonal Changes: Hormonal changes in the body can also contribute to hair loss. For example, changes in hormone levels during pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or thyroid disorders can lead to temporary or permanent hair loss.

Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions can cause hair loss, including alopecia areata (an autoimmune disease that causes hair to fall out in patches), scalp infections, and certain skin disorders.

Medications: Some medications, such as those used for cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, and high blood pressure, can cause hair loss as a side effect.

Stress: Emotional or physical stress can lead to temporary hair loss, a condition known as telogen effluvium. This type of hair loss is usually temporary, and the hair typically regrows once the stress is alleviated.

Nutritional Deficiencies: Deficiencies in certain nutrients, such as iron, protein, zinc, and vitamins A, B, C, and D, can contribute to hair loss.

Hairstyling Habits: Excessive hairstyling or treatments that involve harsh chemicals or heat can damage the hair and lead to hair loss over time.

Poor Scalp Health: Conditions such as dandruff, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis can affect the health of the scalp and contribute to hair loss.

Environmental Factors: Exposure to pollutants, UV radiation, and other environmental factors can damage the hair and scalp, leading to hair loss over time.

Understanding the underlying cause of hair loss is essential for determining the appropriate treatment or management strategy.
