What Leads to Hair Loss?
Hair loss, also known as alopecia, can result from a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, and lifestyle habits. In men, the most common form is androgenic alopecia, or male-pattern baldness, which affects nearly half of all men by age 50. This condition is largely driven by genetic factors and the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
DHT, a byproduct of testosterone, causes hair follicles to shrink, reducing their ability to produce healthy hair. Over time, these follicles become smaller and struggle to grow strong hair strands, leading to thinning hair and eventual hair loss.
While genetics play a major role, several other factors can worsen hair loss:
- Stress and Lifestyle Factors: Chronic stress, lack of sleep, and unhealthy habits like smoking can speed up hair loss. Increased levels of cortisol—the stress hormone—can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle.
- Health Conditions: Issues such as thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases, and scalp infections can contribute to thinning hair or hair loss.
- Medications: Certain medications, especially those used for cancer treatment, high blood pressure, and depression, may cause hair loss as a side effect.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Lacking vital nutrients like iron, vitamin D, or zinc can weaken hair follicles, leading to increased shedding over time.
Identifying the root causes of hair loss is essential for developing an effective, personalized treatment plan.
