The American Academy of Dermatology has also stated that it is normal for a person to lose about 50–100 hairs each day. Anyone who notices that they are losing much more hair than they usually do (during combing or washing) or observe any warning signals like gradual thinning at the forehead or receding hairline, circular patchy bald spots or loosening of hair should consult a doctor (dermatologist or trichologist).

Excessive hair fall can be the result of one or a combination of the below mentioned reasons: Family history (heredity) The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition called androgenic alopecia. In men, it’s called male pattern hair loss and in women it’s called female pattern hair loss. It usually occurs gradually and in predictable patterns - a receding hairline and bald spots in men and thinning hair or widening part in women. It is due to the effect of testosterone metabolites (DHT) in genetically susceptible hair follicles. Hormonal changes Hormonal changes caused due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, PCOD or thyroid problems can cause permanent or temporary hair loss. Stopping some types of birth control pills can also cause a temporary hormonal imbalance. Medical conditions Medical conditions include Alopecia areata (immune system related condition which causes patchy hair loss), Scalp infections (such as ringworm or scalp psoriasis) and Trichotillomania (a hair-pulling disorder). Sexually transmitted infection (STI) like Syphilis can also lead to hair loss. Left untreated, syphilis can cause patchy hair loss on the scalp, eyebrows, beard, and elsewhere. Nutritional Deficiencies Vitamin deficiencies (particularly B, C, D and E) or too little biotin, iron, protein, or zinc can lead to hair loss. Medications Hair loss can be a side effect of certain drugs, such as those used for cancer (both chemotherapy and radiotherapy), arthritis, depression, heart problems and high blood pressure. Stress Any kind of physical trauma (surgery, accident or a severe illness) can cause temporary hair loss. This can also happen after a stressful time in your life, such as a divorce, death of a loved one or financial crisis. Stress can affect the blood supply to the hair follicles thereby reducing the nutrition required for hair strength and growth. Dramatic weight loss Sudden weight loss is a form of physical trauma that can result in hair fall. It may be possible that the weight loss itself is adding stress to your body or that diet restrictions which are part of weight loss program are resulting in vitamin or mineral deficiencies. Loss of hair along with noticeable weight loss may also be a sign of an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia. Hairstyles and treatments Excessive hairstyling or hairstyles that pull your hair tight can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia. Hot-oil hair treatments, permanents, bleaching, dyeing, straightening, curling etc. also cause damage to the hair. Before starting any treatment what are the important things to know? Before starting any treatment, you need to try to identify the reason for your hair fall. You need to understand if it can be treated by simple steps at home like proper diet/nutrition, proper hair care and reducing stress levels, or does it require medical treatment.

Medical health screening is required to understand the reason for hairfall. It includes following blood tests for, Complete blood count (CBC) Iron level Vitamin B Vitamin D3 Thyroid function tests Biopsy of the scalp In addition to the above, a female need to know if she got any of the Hormonal problems like, Irregular menstrual cycles PCOD Menopause. Females suffering from these problems tend to face hairloss issues. You may also need to identify if you are going through any of the below: Stressful situations Any rigorous weight loss program Simply habitual to pulling out hair

After identifying the cause/causes for hairfall you need to first try to treat the root cause. If you have a deficiency of Iron (or haemoglobin) you should take tonics containing iron (referred to as hematinics) If you have a hormonal issue take natural or herbal supplements to correct hormonal imbalances (allopathic medicines pose risks of cancer on prolonged use) If it is due to stress de-stress yourself or take anti-stress medicines. To treat androgenic or genetic alopecia, reduce DHT levels with Flaxseed, Green tea, Amla, Grape seed and other natural remedies (the most commonly available allopathic medicines are reported with several drawbacks such as allergic contact dermatitis, scalp irritation, burning, unwanted hair growth, ejaculation disorder, and decreased libido) Alongwith these remedies use Hair growth supplements or Oils to accelerate hair growth to regain hair at a faster pace.
