Hair loss, a common concern for many, is a complex biological process influenced by various factors. To effectively combat this issue, it's essential to understand the underlying mechanisms.

The Hair Growth Cycle

Hair growth occurs in cycles, divided into three phases:

1. Anagen Phase: This is the active growth phase, where hair follicles produce new hair. It can last anywhere from 2 to 7 years.
2. Catagen Phase: A transitional phase, lasting about 2-3 weeks, where hair growth slows down and the hair follicle shrinks.
3. Telogen Phase: The resting phase, lasting around 2-3 months, where hair follicles are dormant. Hair eventually sheds during this phase.

Hair Loss Occurs When:

• The anagen phase shortens, leading to shorter hair growth cycles.
• The number of hairs entering the telogen phase increases.
• The hair follicles become miniaturized, producing thinner and weaker hair.

Common Causes of Hair Loss

Several factors can contribute to hair loss:

• Hormonal Imbalances: Hormonal changes, particularly in women, can disrupt the hair growth cycle. Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid disorders can also lead to hair loss.
• Genetics: Genetic predisposition, such as male pattern baldness, can significantly influence hair loss.
• Medications and Medical Treatments: Certain medications, like chemotherapy drugs, can cause temporary or permanent hair loss.
• Stress: Chronic stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to hair shedding.
• Poor Diet: Nutritional deficiencies, especially iron, zinc, and protein, can weaken hair follicles.
• Scalp Infections: Scalp infections, like fungal infections and dandruff, can damage hair follicles.
• Tight Hairstyles: Pulling the hair too tightly can damage the hair follicles and lead to hair loss.
