Hair Loss: Facts You Might Not Know

Losing hair is more common than most people think. On average, a healthy person loses 50–100 hairs per day — and that’s completely normal.

Hair grows in cycles. About 85–90% of your hair is actively growing, while the rest is resting or preparing to shed. When this balance changes, noticeable hair loss can occur.

The most common cause is genetics. Male and female pattern hair loss is inherited and can start as early as the late teens or twenties.

Stress plays a bigger role than many realize. Severe physical or emotional stress can push hair follicles into a resting phase, causing temporary shedding known as telogen effluvium — often appearing 2–3 months after the stress event.

Hormones also matter. Changes during pregnancy, menopause, thyroid disorders, or stopping hormonal contraception can trigger hair loss.

Nutrition is another key factor. Low levels of iron, protein, zinc, or vitamin D can weaken hair growth over time.

Hair loss doesn’t mean the follicles are dead. In many cases, follicles are still alive and can regrow hair if the cause is identified early.

And one myth to end it all: hats, washing your hair, or brushing do NOT cause hair loss.
