Understanding Hair Loss: Causes, Treatments & Solutions

Hair loss is a common concern for both men and women, but did you know that losing 50 to 100 hairs per day is completely normal? This shedding is part of the natural hair growth cycle. However, if you’re noticing significantly more hair loss, thinning patches, or excessive shedding, it could indicate an underlying issue that needs attention.

The Hair Growth Cycle

Hair grows in a cycle consisting of three phases:

  1. Anagen (Growth Phase): Lasts between 3-5 years, during which the hair actively grows.

  2. Catagen (Transition Phase): Lasts 1-2 weeks, where hair stops growing and detaches from the follicle.

  3. Telogen (Resting Phase): Lasts around 3 months, after which the hair falls out and new hair begins to grow.

When hair loss exceeds the normal rate and is not replaced by new growth, it leads to thinning hair and potential bald patches.

Causes of Excessive Hair Loss & Thinning Hair

Excessive hair loss and thinning hair can be triggered by multiple factors, including:

  1. Heredity (Genetics) – Androgenic alopecia, also known as pattern baldness, is a hereditary condition that affects both men and women. Men typically experience a receding hairline and bald spots, while women notice diffuse thinning across the scalp.

  2. Hormonal Changes – Pregnancy, menopause, and hormonal birth control changes can impact hair growth. Postpartum hair loss is common due to fluctuating estrogen levels.

  3. Stress & Anxiety – Chronic stress increases cortisol levels, which disrupts the hair growth cycle and leads to excessive shedding (telogen effluvium).

  4. Unhealthy Lifestyle & Diet – Deficiencies in zinc, iron, biotin, and vitamin B can weaken hair and slow its growth. Processed foods and dehydration also contribute to hair thinning.

  5. Hair Care & Styling Practices – Excessive heat styling, tight hairstyles, frequent bleaching, and chemical treatments weaken the hair shaft and cause breakage.

  6. Illness & Medications – Hair loss can be a side effect of certain medications (e.g., chemotherapy, antidepressants, blood pressure drugs) or triggered by conditions such as thyroid disorders, alopecia areata, and fungal infections.

  7. Autoimmune Disorders – Conditions like alopecia areata cause the immune system to attack hair follicles, leading to patchy baldness.

  8. Environmental Factors – Pollution, UV radiation, and exposure to harsh chemicals can damage the scalp and hair follicles, resulting in hair loss.

What Can You Do About Hair Loss?

While some hair loss is unavoidable, there are steps you can take to improve your hair’s health and encourage regrowth:

  • Eat a nutrient-rich diet with proteins, vitamins, and minerals essential for hair growth.

  • Stay hydrated to keep hair follicles nourished.

  • Reduce stress levels through yoga, meditation, and exercise.

  • Avoid excessive heat styling and harsh chemical treatments.

  • Use specialized hair care products that target hair loss and stimulate growth.
