Hair loss, medically termed alopecia, can stem from various factors, including genetic predisposition, male hormones (androgens), advancing age, mental stress, nutritional deficiencies, excessive seborrheic scalp conditions, and hormonal imbalances. Genetic factors often play a significant role, with certain genes influencing hair follicle sensitivity to androgens, particularly dihydrotestosterone (DHT). As individuals age, their hair follicles may become more susceptible to hormonal changes and nutrient deficiencies, leading to thinning or shedding. Mental stress can trigger telogen effluvium, a condition where hair prematurely enters the resting phase and falls out. Additionally, imbalances in hormones such as thyroid hormones can disrupt the hair growth cycle, resulting in hair loss. Maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress, and seeking medical advice for underlying hormonal or scalp conditions are essential for addressing and managing hair loss effectively.
