Hair Loss
Hair loss is more common than you think — and it doesn’t happen overnight. Whether it’s gradual thinning or sudden shedding, understanding the root cause is the first step toward treatment. Here’s how hair loss happens and what you can do about it.
Genetics (Male/Female Pattern Baldness)
The most common cause of hair loss is genetic. Known as male or female pattern baldness, this type of hair loss runs in families and usually happens gradually over time. It often starts with a receding hairline or thinning at the crown in men, and widening partings in women.
Hormonal Changes
Hormones play a big role in hair growth. Changes during pregnancy, menopause, thyroid disorders, or conditions like PCOS can disrupt the natural hair cycle, leading to excessive shedding or thinning. Even testosterone-related changes in men can trigger loss in genetically sensitive areas.

Stress & Lifestyle
Your lifestyle affects your hair more than you might think. Physical or emotional stress, crash dieting, lack of sleep, and poor nutrition can all push hair follicles into a “resting phase,” causing hair to fall out weeks later — a condition known as telogen effluvium.
Medical Conditions & Medications
Certain illnesses and medications can trigger hair loss. Autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata, iron deficiency, or chemotherapy treatments can lead to patchy or full hair loss. Once the root issue is treated, hair often begins to grow back.
