Is your brush or comb raking out more hair than you would consider as usual? Are you noticing thinning of hair on top of your head or perhaps a more pronounced hairline at the sides?
Understanding Abnormal Hair Loss and Its Causes
Although hair loss can sometimes be caused by a medical disorder, prescribed medication, poor diet, bad hair techniques, or severe stress, in about 95% of all cases, the main cause is hereditary – commonly known as male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia. This form of alopecia affects both men and women by targeting the hair follicles.
In cases of hereditary hair loss or thinning, the hormones and genes in your body have what we call a shrinking effect on your hair follicles, making them ineffective at producing new hairs. Over time, the progressive miniaturisation of some scalp hair follicles leads to a shortening of the hair growth cycle, known as telogen effluvium in some conditions. Hair becomes thinner and shorter, until sadly, no hair grows at all.
Other forms of abnormal hair loss include alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the hair follicles, leading to patchy hair shedding. Traction alopecia, caused by excessive pulling or tension on hair follicles from hairstyles, can also result in hair thinning or loss. Additionally, scalp infections such as ringworm can cause temporary hair loss by damaging the follicles.
