What causes hair loss? (& What you can do about it!)

In this blog post, we discuss the top five common causes of hair loss - and what you can do to help and restore it!

Hair loss is a concern that affects millions of individuals worldwide, encompassing both men and women. Though often perceived as a cosmetic issue, the underlying causes of hair loss can be diverse and multifaceted, ranging from genetic predispositions to medical conditions. This blog post aims to shed light on the most common causes of hair loss and introduce an innovative, non-invasive treatment option available at Tahki Institute.

Genetic Factors

One of the primary culprits of hair loss is genetics. If you have a family history of baldness, you are more likely to experience hair loss yourself. This form of hair loss, known as androgenetic alopecia or male-pattern baldness, can also affect women in a similar pattern. Genetic hair loss generally follows a predictable pattern—receding hairlines in men and thinning along the crown in women.

Hormonal Changes

Hormonal imbalances can significantly impact hair health. For instance, conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in women can lead to male-pattern hair loss. These hormonal shifts disrupt normal hair growth cycles, leading to thinning and hair fall. Even life stages like menopause and pregnancy can trigger hormonal changes that affect hair density and growth.

Medical Conditions and Treatments

Certain medical conditions are notorious for causing hair loss. Autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata result in patchy hair loss, while thyroid disorders can cause diffuse thinning. Additionally, treatments for illnesses such as cancer (chemotherapy) often lead to temporary but significant hair loss. Various medications, including those for high blood pressure, heart problems, and depression, can also contribute to hair shedding.

Stress

Chronic stress is another major factor contributing to hair loss. Telogen effluvium is a condition triggered by stress where hair follicles enter a resting phase prematurely, leading to significant shedding. The good news is that stress-induced hair loss is usually reversible once the stressor is addressed or managed effectively.

Nutrient Deficiency

A balanced diet is crucial for maintaining healthy hair. Deficiencies in essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamins (especially vitamin D and biotin) can result in weakened hair structure and increased hair fall. Ensuring a nutrient-rich diet can often mitigate this cause of hair loss.
