What is Hair Loss?
Hair loss occurs when the hair follicles on the scalp either stop producing hair or produce thinner, weaker hair. This condition can affect the entire scalp or specific areas, leading to balding or thinning. While losing some hair is normal, excessive hair loss can significantly impact one’s appearance and confidence.
What Are the Causes of Hair Loss?
Several factors contribute to hair loss:
- Genetics. Hereditary hair loss, or androgenetic alopecia, is the leading cause of hair thinning in both men and women. It’s a genetic condition passed down from parents that typically results in gradual thinning of the hair or receding hairlines over time.
- Hormonal changes. Conditions such as pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid disorders can lead to hair loss due to hormonal fluctuations. These changes affect the hair’s natural growth cycle, causing thinning or shedding.
- Stress. Emotional or physical stress can trigger a condition called telogen effluvium, where hair enters the shedding phase prematurely, leading to noticeable hair loss.
- Medical conditions. Autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata, scalp infections, and even nutritional deficiencies can lead to hair loss. These conditions disrupt normal hair follicle function, causing temporary or permanent hair loss.
- Medications. Drugs used for treating cancer, depression, and high blood pressure may cause hair loss.
Symptoms
The symptoms of hair loss include:
- Gradual thinning on the top of the head, especially in men.
- Patchy bald spots that appear suddenly.
- Thinning of the hairline or receding hairline.
- Excessive shedding when combing or washing the hair.
