Hair loss is one of the most common concerns people face today. Whether it appears gradually or suddenly, it can affect confidence, mood, and overall well‑being. The good news is that most types of hair loss can be managed — and in many cases, reversed — with the right approach.

This guide walks you through the main causes, effective treatments, and when to seek professional help.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss can happen for many reasons. Identifying the cause is the first step toward choosing the right treatment.

1. Genetic Hair Loss (Androgenetic Alopecia)

• Men: receding hairline, thinning at the crown
• Women: overall thinning, widening part line

2. Stress & Lifestyle Factors

Emotional stress, lack of sleep, crash diets, and illness can push hair into a “shedding phase.” This condition is called telogen effluvium, and it’s usually temporary.

3. Hormonal Changes

• Pregnancy
• Postpartum
• Menopause
• Thyroid imbalance

4. Nutritional Deficiencies

• Iron
• Vitamin D
• Zinc
• Protein

5. Scalp Conditions

Dandruff, fungal infections, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis can all affect hair growth.
