Common causes of hair loss include:
- Genetic Factors: Male and female pattern baldness is often inherited, typically causing gradual thinning of the hair.
- Hormonal Changes: Conditions like pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid issues can disrupt hormone levels, leading to hair thinning or loss.
- Stress: Physical or emotional stress can trigger temporary hair shedding known as telogen effluvium.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential vitamins and minerals, such as iron or vitamin D, can contribute to hair loss.
- Medical Conditions: Conditions like alopecia areata, lupus, or scalp infections can cause hair to fall out.
Symptoms of hair loss:
- Gradual thinning on the top of the head
- Receding hairline or bald patches
- Excessive shedding when brushing or washing hair
