10 most common causes of hair fall Hair fall is a common problem that affects people of almost every gender, race, and age group. Typically, people lose about 50-100 strands of hair in a day. If someone starts to notice large chunks of hair in the drain while washing or thinning patches of hair or baldness then it becomes a serious issue. Hair fall can be very demoralizing for some people and can affect their mental health. Fortunately, many treatments are available which aim to restore hair growth. One can visit the best hair fall treatment clinic in Gurgaon, SB Aesthetics to find the optimal results. In this article, Dr. Shilpi Bhadani, a certified cosmetic surgeon discusses some of the common causes of hair fall. Protein deficiency Hair is made up of protein fiber that requires an adequate amount of protein to grow. At a particular time, about 90% of strands are in the growth phase that last for around two to three years. Then, the hair strands enter into a resting phase which lasts for three months. But lack of protein in the body can make large strands of hair enter the resting phase earlier thus hair loss becomes evident. Stress Any kind of physical trauma can cause temporary hair loss, more specifically a type of hair loss known as “Telogen Effluvium�. It is a condition in which stress causes hair roots to be pushed prematurely into the resting phase. The hair growth resumes to grow back once the body recovers from the shock. Hormonal imbalance When the estrogen levels reduce in the body then the relative effect of testosterone increases. This makes the testosterone convert into a stronger hormone known as Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which is responsible for deactivating hair follicles. This process results in hair thinning and hair loss. Hormonal imbalance is one of the causes of hair fall during pregnancy, menopause, and puberty. Alopecia Areata Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that causes hair to fall out in small patches. The condition arises when the immune system starts to mistakenly attack the hair follicle resulting in hair loss. An individual's genetic makeup combined with other factors triggers this type of hair loss. In some cases, the condition resolves on its own but sometimes it is permanent. SB Aesthetics provides the best hair fall treatment in Gurgaon with the aid of modern technology that can help to prevent hair fall. Weight loss Sudden weight loss can put unnecessary stress on the body or that not eating right can result in vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The physical trauma due to weight loss tends to shock the system which results in hair fall and hair thinning.
