Why do hair fall out and how to prevent it?

Hair loss is a common concern that people have. Why do some have a thick mane of hair while others see them fall out in handfuls? Hair falls out every day. Specialists suggest that up to 100 strands a day is considered normal. However, what if more falls out? Well, there are many reasons for excessive hair loss, and much can be written about them, but the most common ones include:

Yes, hormones not only govern our emotions but also have an impact on many other things in our bodies. Hormonal imbalances are the most common cause of hair loss. Whether it's androgenic alopecia, thyroid disorders, or hormonal changes due to pregnancy and childbirth, hair loss is a common symptom of various hormonal disturbances.

An inadequate diet, extreme weight loss, or even metabolic issues can lead to deficiencies in nutrients. Lack of certain nutrients such as zinc, iron, vitamin D, and many others can manifest as hair loss.

Seemingly obvious, yet not everyone remembers this. Genes also have a significant impact on the strength of our hair follicles. The average hair life cycle ranges from 2 to 7 years. The longer they stay with us, the longer we can have them, and the more hair follicles we have (which is often genetically determined), the denser they can be.

Stress is a part of our daily lives. However, in today's fast-paced world, where we live incredibly active lives, stress overload is common. Chronic stress is associated with many consequences that depend on individual predispositions, and one of them can be hair loss.

Poor-quality cosmetics, excessive drying of the scalp and hair, or even too tight hair styling also have a negative impact on the condition of the hair.

Lifestyle and proper nutrition are the basis for taking care of yourself and your hair. However, sometimes that is not enough.
