What Causes Hair Fall?
Causes of Hair Fall
Humidity and Seasonal Changes: High humidity levels, especially during monsoons, weaken hair roots and lead to excessive shedding. Scalp infections, like fungal growth, are also more common.
Nutritional Deficiencies: Diets lacking in iron, protein, and essential vitamins (like Vitamin D and B12) due to vegetarian or unbalanced eating habits can cause hair thinning.
Hard Water and Pollution: Many regions in India have hard water, which contains minerals that damage hair and cause buildup. Air pollution and dust can also clog hair follicles and lead to scalp issues.
Hormonal Imbalances (PCOS, Thyroid Issues): PCOS is prevalent among Indian women, leading to hormonal hair loss. Thyroid disorders are also common and can trigger excessive shedding.
Stress and Lifestyle: High-stress levels due to work pressure, irregular sleep, and unhealthy lifestyle choices (e.g., junk food, lack of exercise) contribute to hair fall.
Harsh Hair Care Practices: Frequent oiling without proper washing, excessive use of chemical-based shampoos, heat styling, and tight hairstyles (like buns and braids) can weaken hair over time.
How Do Hair Scalp & Strands Get Damaged?
Excessive Oil & Product Buildup: Overuse of styling products, heavy oils, and not washing hair properly can clog follicles, leading to dandruff and hair fall.
Harsh Chemicals: Sulfates, parabens, and alcohol in shampoos strip natural oils, causing dryness and irritation, making the scalp dry, which leads to damaging hair scalp, and roots.
Bacterial Infections: Conditions like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and scalp psoriasis lead to itching, flaking, and inflammation, and affect both the scalp and the strands.
Heat & Pollution: Sun exposure, dust, and air pollution weaken the scalp barrier, causing dryness, redness, and irritation. It poses the same adverse effects on hair strands too, leading to tangles, knots, thus escalating hair fall.
Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients like iron, biotin, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids weakens hair from the root, making it brittle and prone to shedding. In the same way, deficiency of vitamins B, D, and iron leads to poor scalp health, making it prone to flaking and sensitivity.
Stress & Hormonal Imbalance: High cortisol levels from stress, thyroid disorders, or PCOS disrupt hair cycles, leading to hair thinning as well as scalp damage.
How Do Free Radicals Hasten Hair Fall?
Free radicals are unstable molecules that cause oxidative stress, damaging hair follicles and disrupting the natural hair growth cycle. The affect on hair growth and hasten hair fall in many ways. Which are as follows.
- Weakens Hair Follicles: Free radicals attack hair follicle cells, leading to premature thinning and shedding.
- Disrupts Scalp Health: Oxidative stress leads to inflammation, dandruff, and scalp sensitivity, reducing hair growth potential.
- Damages Keratin Structure: Keratin is essential for strong hair strands, but free radicals break it down, making hair brittle.
- Hampers Blood Circulation: Poor scalp blood flow due to oxidative stress limits nutrient supply, slowing hair growth.
Ingredients Responsible for Hair Fall
Chemical Ingredients: Harsh chemical compounds like Sulfates (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate - SLS, Sodium Laureth Sulfate - SLES), Parabens, Formaldehyde, etc. strip natural oil from the scalp, leading to itchiness while stimulating hormonal abnormalities and thus effectively trigger hair thinning.
Toxic Metals and Environmental Pollutants: Toxic metals, which are also addressed as environmental pollutants like Lead & Mercury, Chlorine, Silicones (Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone), mount scalp build up resulting in suffocating hair follicles and breakage.
Hormone-Disrupting Compounds: Excess DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) shrinks hair follicles, causing male and female pattern baldness. With this, Phthalates have also been found to trigger hair loss.
Nutrition Deficiency: Lack of important nutrients that help in hair build-up and growth, like iron, Vitamin D, biotin, instill multifaceted issues like brittle strands, weak follicles, etc,. which leads to hair thinning.
