What are the main causes of hair fall in men and women?

Hair fall in men and women can be caused by multiple factors, including:
  • Genetics (Androgenetic Alopecia): This is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women.
  • Hormonal Imbalances: Women experiencing hormonal disorders due to pregnancy, menopause and PCOS suffer from hair loss.
  • Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of iron, biotin, Vitamin D, and protein affects hair growth.
  • Stress & Lifestyle Factors: Chronic stress, poor sleep, and an unhealthy diet can lead to excessive shedding.
  • Scalp Conditions: Dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and infections can weaken hair follicles.
  • Harsh Hair Treatments: Frequent colouring, heat styling, and chemical treatments damage hair over time, causing hair loss.
  • Consult a dermatologist who will determine the exact cause and the best treatment approach.
