    Today we are going to discuss about some of the major frequent causes of hair loss.


First a few facts:

    According to recent statistics 35 million males and 21 million females are struggling with hair loss in the U.S. alone, with over 810,000 of them getting expert treatment.

    The average number of hair follicles on the scalp is 110,000 and it’s very natural for a person to lose 50 to 100 hairs a day during the body’s renewal process. If you see bald patches or experience excessive thinning, you may be suffering from hair loss.

    Hair loss or commonly referred to as baldness is technically recognised as alopecia, which is regarded a loss of hair from the head or body. 

    Some sorts of baldness can be brought about by way of an autoimmune disease known as alopecia areata.

    Extreme varieties of alopecia areata are alopecia totalis, which entails the loss of all head hair, and alopecia universalis, which entails the loss of all hair from the head and the body.


Causes of Hair Loss

    There can be numerous underlying causes; like -

  •     - Medication, 
  •     - Chemotherapy, 
  •     - Exposure to radiation and other harmful chemicals,
  •     - Fungal infection,
  •     - Trauma from injury or damage from compulsive pulling,
  •     - Nutritional deficiencies,
  •     - Hormonal factors like thyroid disease, 
  •     - Skin disease, 
  •     - Stress.


    In most of the cases, hair loss is temporary but in other cases, it can be permanent depending on the severity of disease

Some of the most common causes of hair loss are hormonal. 

They are a stimulant, which helps hair growth and also causes hair loss. Hormonal imbalances can affect both men and women. 

Hair thinning in men often follows a pattern from the front of the scalp through the crown, while hair thinning in women usually doesn’t follow any specific pattern.




Low serum iron is another common cause. 

If a person doesn’t consume enough iron rich food like lean protein, seafood or leafy greens in his or her diet this may lead to hair loss.
