What is hair loss?

Hair loss, also known as alopecia, occurs when you shed more strands of hair than grow back.

As part of the hair growth cycle, the majority of people lose around 100 strands of hair per day.

New strands grow and take the place of the ones you shed, but when fewer or none grow back, it’s considered hair loss.

Hair loss can affect adults of any gender and even children.

What are the different types of hair loss?

There are medical treatments for several types of hair loss, including permanent and temporary conditions.

Some types of hair loss are more common than others, such as androgenic alopecia (baldness).

Other types of hair loss include alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition that typically manifests as patchy hair loss.

Hair loss can occur as bald spots on the head or body and can be caused by various factors.

What are the risk factors for hair loss?

Several factors can increase your risk of hair loss, including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, and certain hairstyles or treatments.

Understanding the risk factors can help individuals take preventive measures to minimise the risk of hair loss.

Preventive measures can include maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding excessive heat styling, and using gentle hair care products.

The role of genetics in hair loss

Male pattern baldness is often genetic, with one in four men experiencing hair loss before age 21. Baldness is more common in men than in women.

95% of cases of hair loss in men are a result of androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness, making it the leading cause. Hereditary hair loss with age is the most common cause of baldness.

Hereditary hair loss is a common cause of hair loss, and it can be difficult to reverse hair loss caused by it if you don’t take a comprehensive approach to give your scalp the best environment to encourage hair growth.

The impact of hormones on hair loss

Hormonal changes can contribute to hair loss, particularly in women.

Female pattern hair loss is a common condition that affects many women, especially during menopause.

Hormonal imbalances can lead to hair loss, and treating the underlying hormonal issue can help promote hair growth.

Medical conditions and hair loss

Certain medical conditions, such as alopecia areata, can cause temporary hair loss too.

Scarring alopecia is a type of hair loss that can be caused by medical conditions, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.

Medical conditions can cause hair loss, and treating the underlying condition can help promote hair growth.

What are preventative measures I can take against hair loss?

Most baldness is caused by genetics (male-pattern baldness and female-pattern baldness), which is a progressive condition that advances over time. If action is taken at the earliest signs of hair loss, the risk of total baldness can be minimised.

Taking preventive measures can help minimise the risk of other types of hair loss, such as those caused by poor hair care or excessive heat styling.

Practising good hair care habits, such as using gentle products and avoiding excessive heat styling, can help reduce the risk of hair loss.

What are non-surgical hair loss solutions?

Low-level laser therapy can help invigorate circulation in the scalp and stimulate hair follicles.

Research is limited, but some studies have shown encouraging results, including a 35% increase in hair growth.

Laser therapy is a less invasive option compared to hair transplantation surgery.

When should I seek professional help?

When you start to notice persistent hair loss and want to pursue treatment, it’s important to speak with a professional, especially if the condition is causing you stress.

If you’re starting to notice your hairline receding, sudden or patchy hair loss, or excessive hair shedding when combing or washing your hair you should talk to a doctor or hair specialist.

Sudden hair loss can signal an underlying medical condition that requires treatment, and seeking medical attention is crucial.
