Overview: Hair Loss and its Basics
- Loss of hair is something that happens very commonly throughout the day.
- It is possible for at least 50-100 hair strands to fall out daily, without affecting the strength of one’s mane.
- However, this becomes an area of concern if the hair falls from roots, and exceeds this limit, by falling out in bunches.
- This leads to the hair follicles getting damaged, promoting alopecia, a severe condition characterized by loss of hair strands in bunches, patchy scalp and white bulb-like projections at the hair ends.
- It usually affects people in their mid age.
- Although, the exact cause of hair loss cannot be identified in this case, its usually said to happen due to lifestyle changes, hormonal disorders, increased stress and diet irregularities.
- Along with these factors, there exist few degenerative conditions that aid in the hair loss like psoriasis and scalp infection.
- Also, dandruff might cause hair fall if left untreated for prolonged periods.
- If hair fall is not controlled in early stages, with time it might lead to thinning of hair, easy breakage, even baldness in extreme cases.
- It’s necessary thus, to consult with a physician in case one is observing any of these symptoms, for a hair fall treatment.
- Hair makes an important part of our personality, and contributes to a great extent in one’s looks.

- Scalp infection: Conditions like increased dandruff in the scalp, or a ringworm infestation might also contribute to hair loss, by taking away their strength, moisture and nutrition.
- Chronic disorders: Various chronic disorders, either hereditary in nature or resulting from lifestyle changes might lead to an increase in hair loss and decreased hair fall control. These include hypertension, lupus, thyroid dysfunction, heart disorders, arthritis etc.
- All these above factors cause hair loss which is mainly temporary in nature, and can be usually cured by medications, therapies or changes in diet.
