Stress

Stress is one of the main factors that can cause hair loss. When the body is under stress, it produces a higher amount of hormones like cortisol, which can affect hair growth and cause it to fall out.

Hormonal changes

Hormonal changes that occur during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause can cause hair loss. Additionally, some diseases like hypothyroidism or polycystic ovary syndrome can alter hormonal levels and cause hair loss.

Diseases and medical treatments

Some diseases like alopecia areata, lupus, or seborrheic dermatitis can cause hair loss. Also, some medical treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy can cause temporary hair loss.

Excessive use of styling tools and chemical products

Excessive use of styling tools such as hair dryers, flat irons or curling irons can weaken the hair and cause it to fall out. Also, the use of chemical products such as dyes, bleaches, or perms can damage the hair and cause it to fall out.

Poor nutrition

A poor diet can affect hair health and cause it to fall out. A balanced diet rich in nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals is essential to maintain healthy and strong hair.

It's important to note that hair loss can have different causes and therefore requires different treatments. If you're experiencing significant or sudden hair loss, it's recommended that you consult a specialist in hair dermatology to determine the cause and receive the appropriate treatment.
