What to Do If You’re Losing a Lot of Hair: Causes and Solutions

Do you notice more hair on your pillow, in the shower, or on your brush? Hair loss is a common concern for both men and women. While it’s normal to shed between 50 and 100 hairs per day, excessive hair loss is a sign that it’s time to take action.

In this article, we explain the main causes of hair loss and what you can do to stop it and strengthen your hair.


COMMON CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS

1. PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL STRESS
High levels of stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to hair shedding. This condition is known as telogen effluvium.

2. NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCY
Lack of iron, zinc, biotin, or protein can weaken the hair. A poor diet is directly reflected in hair health.

3. HORMONAL CHANGES
In women, pregnancy, menopause, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can affect the hair cycle. In men, androgenetic alopecia is a frequent cause.

4. EXCESSIVE USE OF CHEMICALS OR HEAT
Harsh treatments, dyes, flat irons, and blow dryers damage the hair shaft, leading to breakage and hair loss.

5. SCALP PROBLEMS
Dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, fungal infections, or other scalp conditions can block healthy hair growth.


WHAT TO DO IF YOUR HAIR IS FALLING OUT

1. SEE A SPECIALIST
A professional diagnosis is key to determining whether the hair loss is temporary or a specific type of alopecia.

2. TAKE HAIR SUPPLEMENTS
Biotin, collagen, zinc, and iron help strengthen the hair from within.

3. FOLLOW A PROPER HAIR CARE ROUTINE

  • Use sulfate- and paraben-free shampoos.

  • Apply nourishing hair masks once a week.

  • Massage your scalp to stimulate blood flow.

4. AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT
Limit the use of flat irons and blow dryers. Let your hair air dry whenever possible.

5. TRY SPECIALIZED HAIR TREATMENTS
Innovative therapies like:

  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

  • Exosome Therapy

  • Capillary Mesotherapy

help stop hair loss and activate new follicle growth.
