Hair loss is a common concern that affects both men and women at different stages of life. While some hair shedding is normal, excessive hair loss can be distressing. Understanding the root cause is essential to finding the right treatment. Here are six common causes of hair loss and how to manage them.
- Androgenic Alopecia (Genetic Hair Loss)
One of the most prevalent causes of hair loss is androgenic alopecia, known as male or female pattern baldness. This condition is genetic and can be inherited from either side of the family. Over time, hair follicles shrink, leading to gradual thinning and bald spots. While it can’t be fully prevented, treatments like hair regrowth solutions can help slow the process.
- Pregnancy
Many women experience hair loss during or after pregnancy due to hormonal changes. This condition, known as telogen effluvium, is temporary, and hair typically regrows within a few months. Maintaining a balanced diet and using gentle hair care products can support hair health during this period.
- Rapid Weight Loss
Losing a significant amount of weight quickly, whether through diet, surgery, or weight-loss injections, can trigger hair shedding. This happens because the body prioritizes essential functions over hair growth. Ensuring adequate protein, iron, and vitamin intake can help minimize hair loss.
- Significant Stress
Emotional or physical stress can lead to hair loss. High-stress events, such as surgery, illness, or emotional trauma, can push hair follicles into a resting phase, leading to noticeable shedding. Managing stress through exercise, meditation, and proper sleep can help maintain healthy hair.
- Thyroid Problems
An underactive or overactive thyroid can cause hair thinning. The thyroid gland regulates many bodily functions, including hair growth. If you notice sudden hair loss along with fatigue, weight changes, or mood swings, it’s best to consult a doctor for thyroid testing.
- Medications
Certain medications, including beta-blockers, antidepressants, and acne treatments, can contribute to hair loss as a side effect. If you suspect a medication is affecting your hair, speak with your healthcare provider about possible alternatives.
