Hair loss may involve increased shedding, gradual thinning, a receding hairline or distinct patches. Some types are temporary, while others are progressive, so an accurate diagnosis is important.
What causes hair loss?
Common causes include genetics, hormonal changes, stress, illness, nutritional deficiency, autoimmune conditions, scalp disorders, medicines and tight or damaging hairstyles. Sudden, patchy or unexplained hair loss should be medically assessed.
