Why does your hair leave you? 8 causes of hair fall and breakage

Ladies, have you ever wondered why your hair keeps falling out even though you take such great care of it? Hair fall can stem from many causes — some of which are everyday things we might just overlook. Today, the admin has listed 8 reasons why ladies keep experiencing hair fall, resulting in thinning and patchy hair.

1. Pulling your own hair

Ladies, do any of you pull your own hair? Some do it absentmindedly while deep in thought, just keep pulling away. Some like to have friends pull out itchy hairs. Some go as far as pulling their hair when stressed or upset. Do it too often and you might unknowingly go bald — because frequent hair-pulling causes patchy thinning that can eventually lead to baldness. It also weakens hair roots, and newly grown hair won't be strong and will shed easily.

2. Hair-washing habits

We understand that the weather here is incredibly hot — sweating almost constantly. Hair smells easily too, from the heat, pollution, and all sorts of odours mixing with sweat. This makes you feel you must wash your hair every day. But did you know, ladies, that washing your hair too often is a big no-no? Washing too frequently dries out the scalp, causing irritation and itchiness that eventually leads to dandruff. And once you have dandruff, hair fall follows. Washing every other day is sufficient — in between, you can turn to dry shampoo.

3. Hair treatments and styling

Let's be honest — looking good is very important to women like us, especially styling our hair beautifully when going out. Colouring, using spray, straightening, and so much more — this is another cause of hair fall, because we're subjecting our hair to excessive chemicals and heat that damage the hair strands and scalp. Certain hairstyles such as tight braiding or pulling hair back tightly also cause breakage and shedding, because using hair bands or clips that create too much tension weakens hair right from the roots.

4. Diet

Who says 'I'm grown up… I can eat whatever I want'? This isn't wrong, ladies, but it's best avoided. We should be selective about what we eat and drink, because diet also affects the health of our hair and scalp. People who love spicy, strongly flavoured food especially need to be careful — spicy food stimulates a rise in blood pressure, constricting blood vessels and reducing blood flow to nourish hair roots, making them weak and prone to breakage and shedding.

5. Protein deficiency

Following on from the previous point, many people wonder what they should eat to have healthy hair like others. It's not difficult — the food that best nourishes your hair is protein. If our body lacks protein, hair becomes brittle and sheds easily. You might even find grey hairs appearing too.

6. Genetic hair fall

Some people have never coloured their hair, use no chemicals, and care for their hair to the best of their ability — yet hair keeps falling out. That's baffling. In this case, it's worth looking back at older relatives on both sides — parents, grandparents — to see if anyone has thinning hair. Your hair fall may be genetic. Genetic hair fall and thinning is primarily caused by the activity of the male sex hormone DHT, which is passed down through generations. DHT interacts with hair follicles, causing them to shrink, contract, and diminish until hair gradually sheds. Hair becomes thin, weak, and prone to falling out — in severe cases, it can progress to baldness.

7. Using harsh shampoo formulas

One thing that directly affects our hair is hair care products — especially the shampoo and conditioner we use regularly. Did you know they can also cause hair fall? Because each brand has a different formula with different ingredients that may not be suitable for every hair type. The more chemicals a shampoo contains, the more it damages hair. Choosing the wrong one can lead to severe hair fall. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a gentle, chemical-free shampoo formula to expose the scalp and hair to the fewest possible chemicals.

8. Emotional stress

Stress is a problem that can affect everyone at any age, because stress arises easily from things both small and large. Did you know, ladies, that besides causing headaches and mood swings, stress also causes hair fall? Prolonged accumulated stress causes hair follicles to produce hair cells more slowly and in lower quantities than normal — and hair keeps falling out. That's not good at all, ladies. We need to find ways to relieve stress — for the sake of our hair!
