Let us look at the major causes of hair loss:

1. Hair loss due to Thyroid problems:

Hypothyroidism or overactive thyroid can result in hair loss because every condition causes a hormonal imbalance. Every function of the body is regulated by hormones, which include hair growth. Any hormonal imbalance can cause hair loss. People suffering from thyroid problems suffer from loss of hair growth. A bio-identical hormonal treatment combined with compounding medication can help balance the hormonal level in the body, especially the hormones needed for hair growth.

2. Hair Loss due to Pregnancy:

During pregnancy, women experience wildly fluctuating hormonal levels in the body which leads to hair loss. This hormonal imbalance continues after pregnancy and childbirth. It takes time after pregnancy for hormone levels to go back to normal, so it is not at all unusual for postpartum moms to experience patches of baldness and thinning hair.

3. Side Effects Due to Medications:

Blood-thinning medications, oral contraceptives, drugs for depression, NSAIDs, and beta and calcium channel blockers can all result in thinning hair or baldness. Too much vitamin A and vitamins can also cause hair loss. Medications for cancer are known to cause hair loss.

4. Hair Loss Due to Emotional Stress:

The normal cycle of hair growth gets disrupted when you are handling significant emotional stress or life-changing events like a divorce or break-up, financial ruin, the loss of a home, or the death of a loved one.

5. Hair Loss Due to Diet Deficiencies

The important vitamins and nutrients, like protein, which you get from a healthy, varied, and well-balanced diet ensure a healthy body. Poor nutrients or a fad diet can lead to all sorts of nutrient deficiencies, which in turn can result in hair loss & thinning of hair and cause baldness.

6. Alopecia:

Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss. Alopecia may also cause hair loss only on the scalp or all over the body. It may also result in thinning hair, patches of hair loss, and some balding. Alopecia can be the result of hereditary genes, hormonal changes, aging, and medical conditions.

7. Hair Loss Due to Physical Stress:

The natural cycle of hair growth and resting gets disrupted when your body is under tremendous physical stress resulting in hair loss, often in the form of thinning hair strands.

8. Excessive Hair Care:

In order to create a stylish hairdo, you could actually cause significant harm and breakage to strands, which could result in hair loss and thinning hair. Shampooing or blow-drying too frequently can cause hair loss.

9. Infections:

Infection and disease can also lead to hair loss. Fungal skin disease and bacterial infections like syphilis can all be responsible for balding or thinning hair. 

10. Autoimmune Diseases:

Alopecia areata is frequently related to an autoimmune disease, people suffering from autoimmune diseases like diabetes and lupus experience hair loss problems.
