Jan 25 0 Causes of Hairfall
Posted by hairtransplantcentre Causes Of Hair Fall
Hair fall is caused due to many factors. They include:
1. Stress
Stress is a common problem these days faced by almost everyone. It can lead to several health problems ranging from a minor illness to life-threatening medical conditions. Studies have indicated that high level of stress is responsible for causing hair fall in most people.
2. Hereditary Causes
Hair fall that happens due to genetic reasons is also known as androgenetic alopecia. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, it is the most common cause of hair fall. This gene can be inherited from either of your parents’ side of the family. You are more likely to suffer from hair fall if both your parents have suffered from it too.
3. Hormonal Imbalance
Hormonal imbalances caused due to menopause, pregnancy, and malfunctioning thyroid glands are also responsible for causing hair fall.
4. Unhealthy Food
Junk food is considered harmful because it hardly provides your body any nutrients and makes it vulnerable to health conditions. Eating junk food can lead to nutritional deficiencies which can cause hair fall and baldness. People with eating disorders are also likely to suffer from excessive hair loss.
5. Harsh Chemical Treatments
Harsh chemical treatments offered by salons, such as straightening and curling, can weaken your hair follicles when frequently done. This contributes to more hair fall. Blow drying your hair on a regular basis also contributes a lot to hair fall.
6. Psoriasis
Dandruff is a common problem these days which can be easily treated. But if neglected, it can start turning into thick scaly patches, known as psoriasis. This long term skin problem is caused when the skin cells grow rapidly, leading to thick, white, silvery or red patches of skin.
7. Protein Deficiency
Our hair is made up of a protein called keratin. Deficiency of this protein in your diet can weaken your hair. This results in dry and brittle hair that breaks easily. This can also be a symptom of thyroid related issues, so consult your doctor.

8. Iron Deficiency or Anemia
Anemia is a common problem observed in women who do not have enough iron rich food. It is caused when the blood does not have enough red blood cells. These cells transport oxygen throughout your body, providing you the energy that you need. Anemia is a major cause of hair loss as hair follicles also require an adequate supply of blood for their growth and maintenance.
Some other causes of hair fall are aging. Deficiency of vitamin B6 and folic acid, over styling, and thyroid diseases.
How Much Hair Fall Is Normal?
Contrary to popular belief, hair fall is actually quite a normal phenomenon, where you lose up to 50 to 100 strands of hair each day. It is when start to lose more than that you need to worry.
Hair fall, when it happens in its natural course, is backed by hair growth. But if the rate of hair loss exceeds the frequency of natural hair regrowth, it is a cause for concern. If you are losing hair in tufts and are unable to maintain volume, you should immediately consult a trichologist.
Hair fall can lead to baldness, technically known as alopecia. It is characterized by the loss of hair from the head and body. With the latest advancements in technology, hair fall can be controlled and reversed to a great extent. In fact, there exist certain traditional hair growth home remedies that work in combating this problem.

It is in winters when our hair problems are at their worst. With the cold setting in and lack of moisture in the air, hair problems like dandruff, dryness, hair fall and scalp itchiness are common.While there are many reasons behind hair fall, here are a few common causes that lead to hair fall.

Home Remedies For Hair Fall In Winter
Hot Oil Treatment: Using a hot oil treatment during winters is a great way to add nourishment to your hair and prevent hair fall. Apply some warm olive oil or coconut oil on the scalp and the hair strands. Leave it for about 1-2 hours. This should be done at least once a week to give you the desired result.

Avocado can also be mixed with banana as one of the other masks for the same treatment.
How To Minimize Hair Fall In Monsoon
Caring for hair becomes all the more important in monsoons because your hair tends to lose moisture content due to high humidity in the atmosphere and frequently getting wet. This may result in the hair being too frizzy, dry and brittle. Hair may also become limp, and there are chances of scalp infections too. Thus, proper hair care in monsoon is very essential.
1. Rinse Hair When You Get Wet In The Rain
The first thing to avoid in monsoon for hair fall control is getting wet in the rain.
We all love getting wet in the rains again and again. But our hair does not! Frequent wetting, and then shampooing and drying robs the hair from essential moisture and makes them lifeless and frizzy. Minimize the exposure of your hair to rain water as much as you can.
However, if you get wet in the rain, rinse your hair with plenty of clean water and a mild shampoo soon after returning home. This prevents germ infection on your scalp and checks hair fall in monsoon.
If your hair gets wet in the rain, do not leave them tied in a ponytail or a bun. Let them loose to dry to prevent fungal infections and dandruff.

2. Oiling And Hydration
Oil your hair for 1-2 hours before shampooing, at least once a week. Alternatively, you may use a home-made hair mask. Mix 1 ripe banana, 3 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Apply this pack on your hair and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Then wash off with plain water to get shiny hair!
Your hair turns rough and dry and ultimately leads to hair fall during monsoons. A quick and natural oil massage followed by a hair wash results in soft, manageable hair.
Identify your hair type and opt for nice hot oil massage every weekend or twice in a week to maintain gorgeous silky hair. Include hot oil massage in your weekend hair care routine.
Alternatively, you can also go for good branded hair masks and treatments to nourish your brittle hair in monsoons. Try L’oreal Total Repair 5
You can prepare simple DIY treatments to nourish your hair
Massage up to 1/2 cup of Mayonnaise into your hair. The eggs and oils hydrate and quench your hair strands
Make a mask with olive oil, almond oil and vitamin E for extra boost for the hair
Include apple cider vinegar and lemon juice in your hair masks to clarify your hair
You can even rinse your hair with cold steeped tea or even beer for extra shine
Apply a paste of mashed mango and mint for smooth and shiny hair. Just massage into hair and wait for 15-20 minutes.Then rinse it off
Blend 3 bananas and drizzle in 3 tbsp of honey. Apply this mask and leave it on for 20-30 minutes.This mask hydrates and nourishes the hair
For oily hair apply a mask of mint paste and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off

3. Don’t Comb Wet Hair
Do you have that habit of combing your wet hair after hair wash or after getting wet in the rain? Stop that immediately!
Wet hair is weak and susceptible to breaking. Gently air dry hair and comb it with a wide-toothed comb after your hair is completely dry. Avoid using heated hair equipment as they make your hair even drier and rough during the monsoons.
4. Excessive Hair Products
Using too many styling products like Gels and Mousse causes product build up. Couple that with improper cleaning and you have to deal with dandruff and hair fall. Avoid excessive usage and ensure that you are washing your hair well. Opt for gentle hair care products which are free of parabens and sulfates to avoid further damage to the hair.
Also, go easy on chemical treatments like perms and straightening during monsoons. They will further irritate your scalp and hair strands leading to excessive hair fall and split ends
5. Shampooing And Conditioning
If your hair got wet in the rain, shampoo your hair when you get back home. While falling from the sky, rain water gets loaded with environmental pollutants, and can damage your hair if not washed properly. Do not shampoo more than 2-3 times in a week, and always follow shampooing with conditioning. Using an anti-frizz shampoo and conditioner can control frizz up to a great extent.
More tips on how to manage your hair, and preven hair fall, during monsoons:
Use a wide-toothed comb made up of natural materials such as wood to comb through your hair to prevent building up of static energy, resulting in frizzy hair. Plastic combs/ brushes add to the frizz because of the static.
Always use a leave-in serum after shampooing.
Do not make very tight ponytails or buns in monsoons, as the moisture in the atmosphere tends to make the scalp sweat, and if your bun is very tight, the sweat will not evaporate, leading to dandruff and other infections.
Mix two tablespoons of vinegar and a cup of lukewarm water. Wash hair with this solution and this really offers a perfect shine and adds volume to your hair as well.
Avoid styling your hair in damp monsoon season. The humidity makes the hair more frizzy and leads to hair loss.
Do not go for any chemical treatments during monsoon as the chemicals react adversely with rain water causing severe damage to the hair and scalp.
