What causes hair loss ?

Hair loss has multiple triggers, including genetics, hormones, stress, medication, inflammation, and nutritional factors. Each cause creates its own pattern, which is why understanding the type of hair loss you’re experiencing is the most reliable starting point.

You can usually tell by the speed, location, and pattern of shedding. Gradual thinning often points toward androgenetic alopecia, while sudden, heavy shedding suggests telogen effluvium. Patchy loss may indicate alopecia areata.

Texture changes, inflammation, or sensitivity can also offer clues. Understanding these signs helps you narrow down the cause and choose the right next step.

 

 

 

Some forms of hair loss reverse with time, while others don’t. Telogen effluvium usually grows back because the follicles remain active. Androgenetic alopecia progresses unless you manage it consistently, since the follicles gradually shrink. Identifying where your hair loss falls on this spectrum helps you set realistic expectations and choose the options that genuinely matter.
