What Is Hair Loss? Understanding Its Types and Causes

Hair loss refers to the gradual or sudden reduction in hair density, which may present as thinning strands, bald patches, or a receding hairline. While it is normal to shed 50–100 hairs daily, excessive hair fall or noticeable thinning can indicate an underlying issue that may require attention.

Androgenic Alopecia
Alopecia Areata
Telogen Effluvium
Traction Alopecia

Androgenic Alopecia (Pattern Baldness): The most common form, influenced by genetics and hormones.
Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune condition where the body attacks its own hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss.
Telogen Effluvium: Temporary hair shedding triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes.
Traction Alopecia:
Hair loss caused by hairstyles or practices that pull on the scalp, such as tight braids or ponytails.

Recognizing the type and cause of hair loss is the first step toward choosing an effective treatment plan and restoring healthy, strong hair.

Why Does Hair Loss Occur? Understanding the Key Factors

Hair loss can result from a wide range of causes, from genetic predispositions to lifestyle habits and scalp health. Identifying the underlying reason is essential for effective treatment and hair restoration.

Genetics and Hormones

Family history and hormonal imbalances, particularly elevated androgens, are primary causes of pattern baldness.

Stress and Diet

Physical or emotional stress, combined with nutritional deficiencies, can disrupt the natural hair growth cycle and trigger shedding.

Scalp and Skin Conditions

Issues like dandruff, psoriasis, or untreated acne can inflame the scalp, affecting healthy hair growth.

Medical Conditions

Health problems such as thyroid disorders, anemia, or autoimmune diseases like lupus can also lead to hair thinning or loss.

How to Diagnose and Treat Hair Loss Effectively

Severe hair loss can be distressing, but the right dermatological guidance can make a significant difference. Visiting a qualified dermatologist is the first step toward identifying the cause and receiving a personalised treatment plan tailored to your scalp, hair type, and overall health.

  • Consultation: Meet with a Wizderm dermatologist for a thorough assessment of your hair and scalp to identify concerns and determine the type and severity of hair loss.

  • Evaluation: Provide your medical history, lifestyle habits, and any previous hair treatments. This helps the doctor detect hormonal imbalances or other underlying factors contributing to hair loss.

  • Personalised Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment and evaluation, your dermatologist will create a customised treatment plan that may include medical therapies, topical solutions, or advanced procedures like PRP or hair restoration treatments.

Early diagnosis and a targeted treatment plan can help slow hair loss, promote regrowth, and restore stronger, healthier hair.

When Should You Seek Hair Loss Treatments?

Persistent hair thinning, bald spots, or a receding hairline are clear signs that it’s time to consult a dermatologist. Hair loss can be progressive, and early intervention is crucial to prevent further thinning and promote regrowth. A dermatologist will carefully examine your scalp, evaluate underlying causes such as hormonal imbalances or medical conditions, and recommend a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

  • You notice continuous hair thinning or shedding that does not improve over time.

  • Bald patches or receding hairlines appear or start expanding.

  • Hair loss is accompanied by scalp irritation, redness, or itching.

  • Lifestyle changes or home remedies have not reduced hair fall.

  • You want to prevent further hair loss and promote healthy regrowth.

Early consultation with a dermatologist ensures timely intervention, helping you maintain stronger, thicker, and healthier hair.
