Major Causes of Hair Fall – Find What Leads to your Hair Loss!
Trichology is the science that studies all matters of concerting hair. This involves the diagnosis and treatment of disorders and diseases of the hair, scalp, and beard area.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS?
A detailed answer is given in Hair loss causes. However to answer briefly, the interaction between the triad of, hereditary factors, male hormones, and age plays an important role in causing baldness in males. In females, it is the change in the hormone levels at menopause, stress (both physical and mental), poor nutrition, and ill health, which are responsible for hair loss. Damage to the follicles caused by injury, burns, etc, certain medications can also lead to hair loss.
Is diet linked to hair loss?
Excess or deficiency of any kind will affect the system and thereby affect the hair follicle. Including fresh fruits, leafy vegetables, sprouts, and cutting down oil and refined sugar will go a long way in tackling hair loss. Crash dieting is one of the major reasons for accelerated hair fall in females.
Eating a balanced diet is essential for maintaining good hair health and also your overall body health. According to nutritionists, people who have nutritional deficiencies in their diet have dull and stringy hair and can at times even suffer from a temporary case of hair loss. Hair loss caused due to dietary deficiencies is usually temporary and different from pattern hair loss which is progressive and permanent.
A diet, which is very low in calories, can affect your hair. Eating too much of only certain food groups and eliminating others from your diet, can also cause hair loss. Studies have shown that a deficiency of Zinc can severely affect your hair and cause it to fall. Zinc is present in meat, seafood, and eggs; so you should try and incorporate these into your diet. For vegetarians, a zinc supplement may help.
Hair, to remain healthy, needs essential fatty acids. The omega-3 fatty acids provide the hair follicles with the nutrients necessary for good health and to keep the hair and scalp from drying up. If the hair follicle will not get its share of these fatty acids, it becomes weak and this results in hair loss and thinning of hair. Thus a diet, which all but eliminates fat, is not good for the hair. Omega-3 fatty acids are present in mackerel, salmon, flaxseed oil, macadamia nuts, and walnuts.
Another constituent of the Vitamin B complex, known as Biotin, is very essential for healthy hair. A deficiency of biotin is known to cause hair loss. Any foods which give you a good amount of protein such as meat, eggs, etc, should take care of your biotin requirements for preventing temporary hair loss. Vegetarians can take milk products, cereals, cottage cheese, and tofu to increase their protein and biotin intake.
Hence, from all the above, it can be seen that people who have a poor diet or eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia are at an increased risk of temporary hair loss due to nutritional deficiencies that weaken their hair shafts and follicles. Thus it is important to have a proper diet. A healthy and balanced diet will definitely help in improving your hair condition as well as stop it from falling due to any diet-related deficiency.
Nutritional deficiencies (or as you put it, restrictive diet) can cause hair loss. In addition, this may trigger a stress response and turn on a gene that may kick start your male pattern hair loss. Unfortunately, after the process has started it is difficult to stop the progression of hair loss.
Every time 85% of our hair will increase its length and the remaining will stay in a relaxing stage. Every day we lose around 50-100 strands of our hair and these strands will be replaced by new ones. In this way, there is nothing to worry about losing a few hair strands, and in case if there is a severe hair loss then there is a chance of getting baldness. When compared to men, women have severe hair loss issues and this is mostly due to their health conditions. Find out the major causes of hair fall in the below.
Common causes of hair loss are:
1. Hair Fall due to Thyroid Problems
The thyroid gland is one of the most important glands which controls the functions of our body. This gland is considered to be the largest endocrine gland which is found in our neck. The hormones produced by the thyroid gland helps to increase metabolism and also affects the functioning of other parts of the body.
Most of us suffer from severe hair loss due to thyroid problems. Whenever the thyroid glands produce either an excessive amount of thyroid hormones or a very less amount of thyroid hormones, it is considered to be a thyroid problem. One of the major symptoms for a person suffering from this disorder is severe hair fall, thinning of hair, and dry hair.
2. Hair Fall due to Poly-cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder. This disorder is considered to be a common problem for women and it creates hormonal imbalances. In this problem, we suffer from various skin inflammations like acne and extreme growth of facial hair. PCOS creates fertility problems, irregular periods, and severe thinning of hair on the scalp.
3. Hair Fall due to Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is one of the major hair disorders. In this condition, a person suffers from severe hair loss.

7.Autoimmune diseases
An immune reaction that attacks the hair follicles, producing antibodies that attack these tissues as if they were foreign invaders.

Most of the women suffer from hair loss during their pregnancy. This hair fall can be due to hormonal changes and sometimes due to a lack of vitamins and other essential minerals required for our body. A woman will have severe hair fall mostly after her pregnancy due to hormonal imbalance and this is considered to be a temporary problem.
12. Hair Fall due to usage of Birth Control Pills
Women who use birth control pills will sometimes lead to hair loss. This is a drug that potentially causes hair shedding. Especially women who are from genetic hair loss background will suffer from severe hair fall. Sometimes even if we stop using these pills might lead to hair fall.
13. Connective tissue disease
Our body requires various vitamins, minerals, and proteins for maintaining healthy hair. People who want to lose weight will have a lot of restrictions on their diet. In this process of dieting our body have an insufficient amount of vitamins and minerals. Due to this, we might suffer from hair fall.
Our hair requires a lot of vitamins and proteins. To have healthy hair, we must follow a balanced diet. So, even if we are on diet it is a must to include healthy and natural protein-rich foods and also foods that are rich in vitamin E. This will keep our hair strong and healthy.

Nowadays, most of us will try to experiment with our hair. We try various hairstyles, straightening our hair, use different hair colors, and also use a lot of detergents and chemicals. And also excess brushing of hair makes it weak and brittle. Due to all these reasons, our hair becomes dull and dry. Our hair loses its shine and slowly causes loss of hair.
Others: Exposure to toxic chemicals, Tobacco smoking active or passive, Individual reaction to illness or a personal sensitivity to the environment, Chemotherapy, Fungal and bacterial infections, Cosmetic procedures like perming, crimping, straightening, and coloring are enormously contributory factors, and should be avoided as far as possible.
16. Hair Fall due to Cancer Treatment
Hair loss is one of the major side effects of cancer treatment. A person suffering from cancer have to undergo chemotherapy. Due to this therapy, the person will tend to lose his hair. Chemotherapy results in spot baldness or complete baldness. During cancer treatment, the patient needs to consume a lot of drugs that not kill cancer cells but also other healthy cells like hair cells. This is the reason why every cancer patient will have hair fall during their treatment. So, it is always better to include healthy foods for fighting cancer.
17. Hair Fall due to Stress
Stress is a problem that not only affects mental health but also our physical health. Due to stress, we will suffer from insomnia, loss of appetite, hair fall, and health hazards. Telogen effluvium is one of the most common types of stress which causes severe hair fall. So, whenever you are working for a longer period and feel stressed out try some simple stress buster exercises which will relieve your stress temporarily.
18. Hair Fall due to Genetics
Hair fall due to genetics is something that we cannot control. Baldness or severe hair fall can be inherited from our ancestors. Genetic hair loss is one of the most common problems in which our body will not be able to produce more hair. This type of hair loss can be seen in both men and women.
