Causes of Hair Problems

Genetic Factors

Many hair problems, particularly hair loss, can be traced back to genetics. If your family has a history of baldness or thinning hair, you might be more likely to experience these issues.

Hormonal Changes

Hormonal imbalances can significantly affect hair health. Conditions like pregnancy, menopause, and thyroid problems can lead to hair loss or changes in hair texture.

Physical or Emotional Shock

Stress, both physical and emotional, can cause hair to loosen and fall out. This type of hair loss is often temporary but can be distressing.
