Hair is your crowning glory that adds to your personality and style. Because of the regular growth cycle, it is normal to lose around 100 hairs a day, but excessive hair loss can make a person feel physically and socially less attractive, less virile, and less likeable leading to low self-confidence.
Hair thinning has a very negative impact on the psychological well-being of an individual.
If you too are facing excessive hair loss without any apparent reason, then you can try a few measures to stop hair loss or promote hair growth. But before taking any steps, you should know what is causing your hair loss.
What causes hair loss?
The most common genetic factor in hair loss is ageing, which makes it more prevalent in both men and women. Telogen effluvium is the second most common reason for this. More of your hair entering the rest cycle, when it sheds, causes this problem.
Telogen effluvium can be caused by:
Stress
Pregnancy
Medication side effects
Other underlying health conditions
Other causes of hair loss are:
Thyroid disease
Poor Diet
Stress
Ageing
Other hormonal conditions
However, you should consult a dermatologist or your primary care physician for a diagnosis if your hair loss results in bald areas, patchiness, or large clumps of hair falling out.
