Causes of thinning hair include malnutrition, genetics, and others. Hair loss is often triggered by various factors related to malnutrition, excessive mental stress, lack of sleep, and endocrine disorders, as well as dermatological conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis and scalp fungal infections. Hair thinning can be fundamentally resolved—meaning we can achieve fuller, permanent hair growth. Patients are advised to maintain a light diet, get adequate rest, and avoid staying up late.
