Excessive hair loss is associated with numerous factors. - Psychological factors: Stress, anxiety, depression, and high levels of psychological pressure can contribute to persistent hair shedding. - Androgenetic alopecia: This common form of hair loss is primarily genetically determined and often presents as seborrheic alopecia. - Dietary factors: Rapid weight loss or inadequate nutrition—particularly deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals—may trigger excessive hair loss. - Hair care practices: Frequent shampooing or the use of harsh, irritating hair care products can also damage the scalp and hair follicles, leading to increased shedding.
