Excessive hair loss during shampooing is associated with numerous factors. Frequent shampooing may lead to increased hair shedding. Nutritional deficiencies—resulting in inadequate nourishment for the hair—can also cause excessive hair loss. High levels of psychological stress or chronic tension may contribute to increased hair shedding. Additionally, endocrine or hormonal imbalances—such as overproduction of sebum by the scalp—can likewise result in excessive hair loss.
