5 Reasons You Might Be Experiencing Early Hair Thinning and Hair Fall

3

Longing for that long, beautiful, and bouncy tresses but stressed with hair fall? The growing stress combined with hormonal issues is often the culprit for hair loss and thinning. It’s devastating to start losing hair when you are just in your 20s. If your ponytail is getting skinnier or male baldness is showing the crown of the head, it’s evident that you have started losing hair.

So, the question is why is my hair falling out? Sometimes pre-mature or an early loss of hair is also genetics. If you are bugged by hair thinning and dread the feeling of hair leaving your head every time you shampoo, here are some prominent causes.

Stress 

It is that uninvited guest that always overstays and refuses to leave. Turns out that excessive indulgence in scrolling through your phone, lack of proper sleep, and work stress combine to slow down the active and healthy hair cycle. As and when your body is stressed, it starts producing a hormone called cortisol. High concentration of cortisol prematurely push hair into the resting phase and hence slows down its growth. This type of hair loss is known as “telogen effluvium”. However, stress-related hair loss can be reversed and with the use of the right treatment excessive shedding can be reduced.

Genetics and medical treatment

Sometimes it is the genes that are wired in a weird way that causes hair fall and pre-mature hair thinning and shedding. Medications and harsh treatments can also be the reason for premature loss of hair. It is best to connect with a trichologist if you are not able to figure out the reason for the sudden hair shedding. Apart from medical reasons, sometimes early hair loss is also contributed by genetics and hereditary reasons. If you have a dominant hair loss gene and if hair fall runs in the family, there is a strong possibility that you inherited the same.

Hormonal change

Hormones are another culprit that might take your hair growth for a toss. This is pretty common in women as women are more prone to hormonal change and take the brunt of it. For example, taking birth control pills, for example, impact hair growth and might contribute to hair loss. Pregnancy is another phase where there is a lot of change in hormonal concentration. High levels of estrogen and progesterone for example can boost faster hair growth but their diminishing concentration does the opposite. Conditions that change the hormonal cycle often trigger hair thinning and shedding.

Lack of proper diet or wrong diet

A deficiency of important minerals and vitamins often contributes to hair fall. Zinc stimulates sebaceous glands that secrete hair oil that lubricates scalps and even boosts follicle growth. However, zinc deficiency weakens hair follicles and reduces their growth. Iron deficiency also leads to hair fall. Eating a balanced diet is important for overall well-being which also includes hair. As hair needs a lot of energy to grow, eating a balanced diet of protein, iron, vitamins, and fatty acids is necessary to reduce hair thinning.

Health conditions and bad lifestyle 

There is a range of health conditions which contribute to hair fall and pre-mature shedding of hair. For example, thyroid diseases cause imbalances in the thyroid hormones which impact the overall metabolism and regulatory function of the body. Inflammatory bowel disease is a surprise entry but it is often found that such a condition might cause hair shedding. Sometimes it is health conditions and sometimes hair loss issues are self-created. Smoking, drinking, lack of proper sleep etc. are also dominant causes of hair fall from an early age.

Noticing sudden hair fall or hair thinning? It is time to start eating healthy, reduce stress levels, and see a trichologist for more.
