Hair thinning & aggressive hair fall and receding hairline are some of the symptoms. Hair thinning that starts from the forehead region and slowly spreads across the scalp resulting in baldness.

Hair grows all over the human body, except the palm and sole of feet. Hairs are made up of a protein known as keratin, which is produced by the hair follicles in the skin. It’s basically dead cells and the more keratin cells are produced, the old ones tend to shed or fall and new ones take the place.
Hair growth has certain stages & functions. The stage in which hair grows is growth phase aka Anagen phase, in which the hair follicles produce new keratin cells.
After Anagen Phase comes Catagen stage in this the new upcoming hairs cells get connected & attached to the existing hair shaft while follicles shrink and detaches from the dermal papilla, this stage lasts about 15 days.
Next is the telogen phase that’s the rest period, when the rest period remains for a longer period of time and doesn’t enter the Anagen phase, the hair loss begins to show up.
There are many types of alopecia, some of which mainly affect kids, some affect only women or the elderly, or are initiated by psychological conditions. Some are also common with other disorders, especially hormonal disorders, and eating disorders.
Inspecting the pattern of hair loss is the first step to find whether the hair loss is caused by hereditary reasons. Male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, is the most common hair loss stage that is observed in men and is basically the outcome of the hormone known as DHT (dihydrotestosterone); which is a byproduct of testosterone and it increases with aging.
The reason for the baldness can be numerous like:
- Unhealthy lifestyle
- Career Stress
- Education Stress
- Emotional Stress
- Smoke & Drugs
- Mobile & Radiations
- No Physical exercise
- Hormonal disorders
- Nutritional Imbalance
- Medications
