Hello Tanishka I hear how stressful this hair fall must be, especially with thinning and visible baldness at the forehead. Losing 40–50 strands during washing and more with combing or touching is more than usual, and the thinning you describe suggests something more than just routine shedding.
Common causes of severe hair fall and thinning: - Nutritional deficiencies: Low iron, vitamin D, B12, or protein can cause hair loss. - Hormonal changes: Thyroid issues, PCOS, or recent stress/illness. - Scalp conditions: Dandruff, fungal infections, or dermatitis. - Genetic factors: Family history of baldness. - Medications or recent illness: Some medicines or infections can trigger hair loss.
What you can do next: 1. Get blood tests:CBC, iron studies, thyroid profile, vitamin D, and B12. 2. Gentle hair care: Avoid harsh shampoos, heat styling, and tight hairstyles. 3. Balanced diet:Include eggs, nuts, leafy greens, lentils, and dairy for hair health. 4. See a dermatologist: For a scalp exam and possible prescription treatments.
Homemade oils are fine, but if hair fall is this severe and persistent, medical evaluation is important to find and treat the root cause.
Thank you
Hair thinning and excessive hair fall like the situation you’re describing can be concerning, but it’s important to consider various factors that might be contributing to the condition. It’s common to lose about 50 to 100 hairs a day as part of the natural growth cycle. However, dramatic increases in hair loss should be addressed. Several potential reasons could explain your symptoms, such as hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, stress, or scalp conditions. First, evaluate your diet to ensure it’s balanced with adequate levels of essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin D, B-vitamins, iron, and zinc, which are crucial for hair health. Sometimes, consulting with a dietitian or taking a multivitamin could be helpful. If you’re regularly stressed, engaging in stress-relieving activities or mindfulness could decrease the impact on your hair. Additionally, examine your hair care routine and avoid excessive heat or chemical treatments which can weaken hair. Switching to a mild, sulfate-free shampoo might decrease irritation or further damage. If there isn’t any improvement or hair loss persists or worsens, you should consult a dermatologist or healthcare provider to rule out conditions like alopecia areata, scalp infections, or hormonal imbalances like thyroid issues. Blood tests can screen for deficiencies or hormonal imbalances, and your doctor might suggest treatments such as topical minoxidil or other medications if a specific cause for hair loss is identified.
