Major Causes Behind Hair Loss
Aside from a person’s genetics, hair fall can have several other reasons including deficiency of essential nutrients.
- Androgenetic Alopecia: You inherit this from your parent/ancestors. As with everything else, genetics play a key role in how long a person continues growing hair.
- Age: As we age, we produce less of everything needed to remain healthier. This generally affects people over the age of 50.
- Environmental factors: Environmental conditions such as dust, radiation, and smoke also affect hair health.
- Deficiency of essential nutrients: A major deficiency of minerals, vitamins, and proteins may result in premature hair fall.
- Constant stress/trauma: Hair loss due to stress is a temporary condition. Hair regrows with relief.
More Specific Causes
- Medical conditions, treatments, and illnesses: Certain medical complications such as thyroid disease, alopecia areata (an autoimmune disease that attacks hair follicles), and scalp infections like ringworm may also result in temporary or permanent hair loss.
- Hair treatments: Though most hair conditioning products and procedures generally don’t cause long term damage to hair, some may do.
