Understanding the concern

What is hair loss?

Hair loss refers to excessive shedding, thinning or reduced hair density on the scalp. It is normal to lose around 50 to 100 hairs a day as part of the hair growth cycle; noticeable thinning or persistent shedding may indicate an underlying condition affecting the scalp or hair follicles.

Hair fall is temporary shedding, often triggered by stress, seasonal change, illness, hormonal fluctuations or nutritional deficiencies, and usually reverses once the trigger improves. Hair loss is a reduction in density caused by weakening or damaged follicles, and may show as a widening parting, receding hairline or thinning at the crown or temples.

Because hair loss can have multiple causes, evaluation by a dermatologist is important to identify the underlying reason. Early consultation can often help manage hair loss more effectively and support healthier growth over time.
