Hair Loss (Alopecia)

Hair loss, or alopecia, is a common concern affecting both men and women. It can appear gradually or suddenly depending on the cause, and may impact hair density, volume, and overall appearance.

Understanding Hair Loss and Its Different Forms

What Is Hair Loss?

Hair loss refers to an abnormal decrease in hair density caused by the weakening of hair follicles.

Common forms include: 

  • Androgenetic alopecia (hereditary hair loss)
  • Diffuse shedding related to stress or hormonal imbalance 

Visible signs: thinning hair, reduced volume, widening part, or visibly sparse areas that may appear progressively or suddenly. 

It results from a disruption in the natural hair cycle, where the growth phase shortens and the shedding phase becomes longer.

    Causes & Triggering Factors

    Hair loss can be influenced by biological, hormonal, or environmental factors that disrupt the natural hair growth cycle. 

    Genetic Factors 
    (Androgenetic Alopecia) 

    A hereditary predisposition makes hair 
    follicles more sensitive to hormones, causing progressive thinning. 

    Genetic factors: hereditary predisposition makes hair follicles more sensitive to hormones, leading to gradual hair thinning.

    Hormonal Changes

    Pregnancy, menopause, andropause,
    or hormonal imbalances can alter the growth cycle and trigger increased shedding.

    Stress & Fatigue

    Nutritional 
    Deficiencies

    Low levels of iron, protein, or essential vitamins weaken keratin structure and slow regrowth. 

    Nutritional deficiencies: a lack of iron, protein, or essential vitamins slows hair regrowth.

    Medical Conditions
    or Treatments

    Thyroid disorders, alopecia areata, 
    medications, and chemotherapy can cause temporary or acute hair loss.
