Most people who come to us for hair fall have already tried an oil, a shampoo and a supplement. The reason those rarely work on their own is that hair fall is usually a symptom, not a diagnosis. Here are the five causes we identify most often.
1. Nutritional gaps
Low iron, vitamin D and protein are the most common findings on the blood work we request. Correcting them takes a few months but it is the foundation everything else builds on.
2. Stress-related shedding (telogen effluvium)
A big stressor — illness, surgery, a difficult few months — can push a large share of follicles into their resting phase at once. Shedding starts around three months later, which is why the link is often missed.
3. Hormonal changes
Thyroid imbalance, PCOS and the months after pregnancy all show up regularly. These need a medical assessment, not a cosmetic one.
4. Scalp conditions
Dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis and fungal infections inflame the scalp and weaken roots. Treating the scalp is often the quickest win.
5. Pattern hair loss
Genetic thinning responds well when treated early with a combination of topical therapy, PRP and growth therapy — but it needs a structured plan, not a one-off session.
If you have been shedding for more than three months, a proper scalp and hair analysis is the right first step. Book a consultation and we will start there.
