The Science Behind Hair Fall: Causes You Didn’t Know & How We Treat Them at PHI
Hair fall is a common concern affecting millions worldwide, yet many don’t fully understand the complex science behind it. While occasional shedding is normal, excessive hair fall can be distressing and impact your confidence. At PHI Skin & Hair Clinic, we believe that understanding the root causes is the first step toward effective treatment and lasting results.
In this blog, we’ll explore some lesser-known causes of hair fall and explain how our expert treatments at PHI can help you regain thicker, healthier hair.
Understanding Hair Growth & Hair Fall
Your hair grows in cycles: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting/shedding phase). Normally, losing about 50-100 hairs daily is natural. But when more hair than usual enters the telogen phase, it leads to noticeable hair fall.
Multiple factors disrupt this balance, causing hair follicles to weaken, shrink, or become inactive. Understanding these factors can help you target treatment precisely.
Causes of Hair Fall You Didn’t Know
- Hidden Hormonal Imbalances
Testosterone converts to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which can shrink hair follicles in genetically susceptible men and women—leading to androgenetic alopecia or pattern baldness. - Scalp Inflammation & Poor Scalp Health
Conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, or fungal infections create inflammation that damages hair follicles and triggers shedding. - Stress-Induced Telogen Effluvium
Severe emotional or physical stress pushes hair prematurely into the shedding phase. This condition is often temporary but can become chronic without management. - Nutritional Deficiencies
Lack of key nutrients like iron, zinc, biotin, and vitamins D and B12 affects hair growth cycles and weakens strands. - Medications & Medical Conditions
Certain medications (e.g., chemotherapy drugs, blood thinners) and diseases (thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases) can cause hair loss. - Environmental Damage
Pollution, UV exposure, and harsh hair care products can weaken hair shafts and follicles over time.
