Finding few strands of hair in your hair brush every time you comb is normal: We all shed hair. But if a person starts losing an unusual amount of hair, it can be cause for concern. The incessant growing concern of hair loss as witnessed recently, made us bring to you the common causes of the excessive shedding from the Aesthetic Pundits and popular cosmetologists Dr. Shilpi Behl and Dr. Neeraj Sahni.
  1. The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition called androgenic alopecia that happens with aging. This male-pattern baldness and female-pattern baldness usually occurs gradually. The symptoms include a receding hairline and bald spots in men and thinning hair along the crown of the scalp in women.
  2. Nutritional deficiencies can cause hair to fall out. Extreme diets and deficiencies of protein, vitamins, iron, etc. can cause excessive hair shedding. New fad diets emerging every day sometimes allow you to miss out the essential and very basic nutrients necessary for smooth functioning of your system.
  3. Certain medications and hormonal changes have side effects that can cause hair to fall out, such as pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and thyroid problems. Medications like blood thinners, antidepressants, cholesterol-lowering drugs, etc. causes hair loss.
  4. Excessive heat styling and chemical treatments on hair are a major reason for a type of hair loss called traction alopecia.
  5. When bacteria, yeast, or fungi overgrow and invade hair follicles, infection occurs. You might see pus bumps, redness, and scaling. Most scalp infections are curable with the right antibiotic or antifungal medication.
