Frequent hair loss during combing may be a normal physiological phenomenon or caused by conditions such as seborrheic alopecia. It can also occur in patients who habitually stay up late or experience excessive mental stress. Hereditary factors cannot be ruled out either. Patients are advised to seek evaluation at a reputable hospital to determine the underlying cause of hair loss and then follow their physician’s treatment recommendations.
