Causes of hair fall

Hair fall is not an uncommon problem, more than 80% of men and nearly half of women experience significant hair loss during their lifetime but, what are the main causes?

Genetics

The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition that happens with aging, androgenic alopecia. In men, this condition is known as male pattern baldness- if your father or grandfather was bald, you are more likely to develop the condition- and in women it’s called female pattern baldness.

Nutritional deficiencies

Nutritional deficiency may impact both hair structure and hair growth, if you’re noticing hair thinning it could be possible that essential nutrients such as proteins, iron, copper or think may be missing from your diet.

Stress

Experiencing lots of stress can lead to hair loss. A lot of people experience hair thinning after a physical or emotional shock that could last for several months, although is usually temporary. 

Medical conditions and hormonal changes

A variety of conditions can cause permanent or temporary hair loss, including alopecia areata (an autoimmune disorder that causes patchy hair loss), and scalp infections. Also, hormonal changes due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and thyroid problems could also lead to hair loss.
