Most frequent questions and answers
- Hair fall can be caused by various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes (such as in cases of male or female pattern baldness), nutritional deficiencies, certain medical conditions (like thyroid disorders or alopecia areata), scalp infections, excessive hairstyling or heat treatments, certain medications, physical or emotional stress, and aging.
- It is normal to lose around 50 to 100 hairs per day as part of the natural hair growth cycle. This hair loss is usually not noticeable as new hair grows in to replace the shed hair. However, if you notice excessive hair shedding, visible thinning, or bald patches, it may indicate a problem and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.

- Yes, stress can contribute to hair fall. Telogen effluvium is a type of hair loss that can occur due to physical or emotional stress. It causes a large number of hair follicles to enter the resting phase simultaneously, leading to increased shedding. Managing stress through relaxation techniques, exercise, and lifestyle changes may help reduce hair fall in such cases.
