Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

1. Genetic Factors:

   • Androgenetic Alopecia: Also known as male-pattern or female-pattern baldness, is the most common cause of hair loss, influenced by genetic predisposition and hormonal changes.

2. Hormonal Changes:

   • Conditions like pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and thyroid problems can cause temporary or permanent hair loss.

3. Medical Conditions:

   • Autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata, scalp infections like ringworm, and other skin disorders can lead to hair loss.

4. Medications:

   • Drugs used for cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, and high blood pressure can cause hair loss as a side effect.

5. Nutritional Deficiencies:

   • Lack of essential nutrients such as protein, iron, and vitamins can lead to thinning hair and hair loss.

6. Physical or Emotional Stress:

   • Significant stress can cause temporary hair loss, known as telogen effluvium, where hair shifts rapidly from the growth phase to the resting phase.

7. Hair Care Practices:

   • Excessive styling, tight hairstyles, and treatments like coloring, perming, and bleaching can damage hair follicles and lead to hair loss.

8. Aging:

   • As people age, hair growth slows down, and hair becomes thinner and more prone to falling out.

Understanding the underlying cause of hair loss is crucial for determining the most effective treatment. Hair transplantation is often a suitable option for those with genetic hair loss or for individuals who have not responded well to other treatments.
