Hair Loss

It's normal to lose 50–100 hairs a day — you probably won't even notice. But if you're seeing clumps in the shower drain, on your pillow, or your ponytail is getting thinner, your hair might be going through a rough phase. Stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or genetics can all play a role. The good news is, most hair loss can be slowed down or reversed when caught early.

A slowly receding hairline or a thinning spot on top is usually pattern hair loss — the most common type. It runs in families and happens because certain hair follicles are sensitive to hormones. Think of it like some plants in a garden being more sensitive to weather than others. Treatments like medications, PRP therapy, or a hair transplant can help.

Sudden, perfectly round bald patches — usually the size of a coin — are often caused by your immune system mistakenly attacking your hair follicles. It's called alopecia areata. Think of it like friendly fire — your body's defense system getting confused. Most of the time, hair grows back with treatment, so don't panic.
