What Causes Hair Loss?
Hair loss can be a distressing experience, affecting both men and women. Understanding the underlying causes is the first step towards finding effective treatment options. Here are some of the most common factors that contribute to hair loss:
Genetics
Androgenetic Alopecia:
- Also known as male or female pattern baldness, this hereditary condition is the most prevalent cause of hair loss. It typically manifests as a receding hairline in men and thinning hair in women.
Hormonal Changes
Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Menopause:
- Hormonal fluctuations during these life stages can lead to temporary or permanent hair loss.
Thyroid Issues:
- Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can disrupt the hair growth cycle, causing hair loss.
Medical Conditions
Alopecia Areata:
- This autoimmune disorder causes patchy hair loss when the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles.
Scalp Infections:
- Conditions such as ringworm can invade the scalp, leading to hair loss.
Lupus:
- An autoimmune disease that can cause hair loss due to inflammation of the skin and scalp.
Medications
Certain medications can contribute to hair loss, including those used to treat:
- Cancer
- Arthritis
- Depression
- Heart Problems
- High Blood Pressure
Physical or Emotional Shock
Telogen Effluvium:
- Experiencing significant stress, undergoing surgery, or suffering a severe illness can trigger this type of hair loss, where more hairs than usual enter the shedding phase.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Lack of Essential Nutrients:
- Deficiencies in iron, protein, and vitamins (such as vitamin D and biotin) can lead to hair loss.
Hair Treatments and Hairstyles
Overuse of Heat Styling Tools and Harsh Chemicals:
- Frequent use of hair dryers, straighteners, and chemicals can damage hair and cause it to fall out.
Tight Hairstyles:
- Styles that pull on the hair, like ponytails and braids, can lead to traction alopecia.
Ageing
Natural Aging Process:
- As we age, hair naturally thins and may lead to baldness over time.
