What’s Behind Your Loss?

1. Genetics (Androgenetic Alopecia)

If hair loss runs in your family, chances are it’s passed down to you. This type of genetic hair loss is very common and often shows up as a receding hairline, thinning crown, or a distinct pattern of hair loss. It affects both men and women and the earlier you catch it, the better your chances of managing it. 

2. Hormonal Imbalances

Your hormones play a major role in hair health. Conditions like thyroid disorders, PCOS, menopause, or the hormonal shifts after childbirth can throw off your hair’s growth cycle, leading to thinning or shedding.

3. Stress and Lifestyle Choices

When life gets overwhelming, your hair feels it too. High stress, poor sleep, extreme dieting, and anxiety can trigger a type of hair loss called Telogen Effluvium, a condition where hair prematurely enters the shedding phase.

4. Nutritional Deficiencies

Your hair needs the right fuel to grow. Low levels of iron, vitamin D, biotin, zinc, or protein can weaken your hair from the root and slow down regrowth.

5. Medical Conditions & Medications

Autoimmune diseases like Alopecia Areata, certain medications (including chemo, antidepressants, and blood pressure drugs), and chronic illnesses can all lead to temporary or permanent hair loss.

6. Scalp Conditions

Your scalp is the foundation for healthy hair. Issues like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, or fungal infections can cause inflammation and clog follicles interfering with normal hair growth

7. Damage from Styling or Chemicals

Frequent use of heat tools, harsh chemical treatments, or tightly pulled hairstyles can cause traction alopecia, a type of hair loss that can become permanent if not addressed early.
