Family history plays a major role in hair loss. If your parents or grandparents experienced thinning hair, you are likely to experience similar issues.
Women commonly experience hair loss after menopause, childbirth, and pregnancy due to hormone changes. Both men and women may experience hair loss from changes in thyroid hormone changes.
A lack of adequate protein, along with essential nutrients like zinc, iron and biotin, can disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to thinning and eventually hair loss. Proper nutrition is key to maintaining healthy, strong hair.
Chronic health issues like thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases, or scalp infections can contribute to significant hair loss, often requiring specialised treatment from a medical professional.
Both physical and emotional stress can trigger telogen effluvium, a condition in which hair prematurely enters the shedding phase which results in a noticeable hair loss.
Excessive exposure to pollutants, harsh weather conditions, or chemicals from hair treatments can damage hair, leading to dryness, breakage, and thinning.
Certain types of medications such as those for treating acne, arthritis or depression may have side effects that include hair loss, often due to hormonal or chemical imbalances.
Hairstyles that put stress on your scalp like a tight ponytail can lead to a form of hair loss called traction alopecia.
For those experiencing advanced hair loss, a hair transplant can provide a permanent solution. This procedure involves relocating healthy hair follicles from areas of the scalp with thicker hair to areas that are thinning or bald. While it offers long-lasting results and a natural appearance, the procedure can be costly, requires some recovery time, and may carry risks like scarring.
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates hair follicles and promotes hair growth. One popular option is HAIRestart by Dr HAACH, which uses Fotona laser technology to improve scalp circulation and rejuvenate hair follicles.
Though there is no scientific proof that natural remedies work on hair loss, many people find essential oils and biotin supplements effective in improving the health of their hair and scalp.

A nutrient-rich diet plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy hair. Include plenty of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, biotin and zinc, all of which are vital for hair growth and strength. Protein-rich foods like lean meats, soybeans, and nuts also help support the hair’s keratin structure. Consuming a balanced diet ensures your body has the necessary building blocks to promote healthy hair follicles.
Treat your hair with care by using gentle, sulfate-free shampoos that won’t strip your hair of its natural oils. Avoid hot tools like flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers on high heat settings, which can damage the hair shaft and cause breakage. Additionally, reduces exposure to chemical treatments like perms or dyes, which can weaken hair over time. Instead, opt for heat protectants and nourishing hair masks to keep your hair soft and strong.
Just as the body needs hydration for overall health, your hair benefits from proper moisture levels. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure your hair follicles stay nourished and hydrated. Dehydration can lead to dry, brittle hair and even contribute to hair thinning, so it’s important to maintain fluid intake to promote both scalp health and hair growth.
Massaging your scalp stimulates blood circulation, which encourages hair follicles to remain active and promotes healthy hair growth. You can gently massage your scalp using your fingertips for about 5 to 10 minutes a day. Adding oils like coconut or castor oil can further nourish the scalp, providing additional benefits. This daily routine helps relieve tension, improves blood flow, and can even reduce hair loss caused by stress.
Hairstyles that pull tightly on your hair, such as ponytails, braids, or buns, can lead to traction alopecia—a type of hair loss caused by prolonged tension on the hair follicles. This kind of stress weakens hair and can result in thinning or even permanent hair loss over time. Opt for looser hairstyles or try to alternate your hairstyles to give your scalp and hair a break from constant strain.
Stress is a major contributor to hair loss. It can trigger a condition called telogen effluvium, where hair enters a shedding phase prematurely. To counter this, it’s important to find effective ways to reduce stress in your daily life. Practices such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, or engaging in regular physical activity can all help reduce cortisol levels and balance your hormones, which, in turn, can positively affect hair growth and minimise hair shedding.

It is recommended to consult a healthcare provider regarding your hair loss if you recognise that your hair loss might be more than just a temporary issue and when it may require medical attention. Here are some key signs when you may need to consult a healthcare provider:
Yes, hereditary hair loss is one of the most common causes, especially in males (Male pattern baldness) and females (Female pattern baldness). It typically involves a sensitivity to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which shrinks the hair follicles
Yes, both physical and emotional stress can lead to temporary hair loss conditions like telogen effluvium, where your hair sheds more than normal. The hair will grow once the stress is managed.
Yes, hair loss can be a natural part of the ageing process for many people, although the extent and type of hair loss can vary. As we age, our hair follicles gradually produce thinner, shorter hair, and the rate of hair growth slows down.
Hair loss is more common in men, with about 50% experiencing male pattern baldness by age 50. In women, around 40% experience thinning, often due to hormonal changes or medical conditions.
Diet can significantly impact hair health, as proper nutrition is essential for hair growth. A lack of key nutrients like iron, protein, zinc and vitamins can lead to hair thinning or loss.
