What is Hair Shedding?
Shedding hair is a regular aspect of keeping the scalp healthy. When this balance is upset, more hair begins to come out and significantly less grows in, leading to hair loss. Hair shedding and thinning are not the same thing. Alopecia is the condition you have if you are losing your hair.
What is Hair Loss?
Alopecia, or hair loss, can impact your entire body or simply your scalp, and it can be either temporary or permanent. It may be brought on by hormone fluctuations, genetics, illnesses, or just ageing naturally. Though it’s more prevalent among men, hair loss on the head can happen to anyone.
Usually, being bald means having a lot of hair falling out of your head. The predominant cause of baldness in older adults is hereditary hair loss.

Baldness usually refers to a severe loss of scalp hair. As we age, natural hair loss causes our hair to start falling out. Some people decide against getting treatment for or hiding their baldness because they don’t want to. They can be concealed by scarves, hats, makeup, and hairstyles. Some then decide to get therapy to either stop further hair loss or to develop new hair.
Causes of Hair Loss & Hair Shedding
Stress and an improper diet are two of the most common reasons for hair loss. The optimal treatment for your hair loss is diagnosing the condition of your scalp. Baldness and significant thinning of the hair are the results of various causes of hair loss. Hair loss frequently results from an underlying medical condition that needs to be treated. Your hair loss might not come back if the cause is a medical condition like alopecia areata that affects your hair.
How to Know if it’s Hair Loss or Hair Shedding
It’s possible that your hair is thinning or that you’re losing more than 100 hairs per day. It is crucial to check if your comb and pillow have more hair strands on them to distinguish between shedding and hair loss. See a dermatologist for assistance if hair loss or shedding is causing you anxiety.
Consult a Hair Specialist
Knowing the facts is essential while looking for a hair loss specialist so that you can receive the best therapy available. Hair loss can result from various causes, such as traction alopecia, immune system illnesses, anaemia, thyroid issues, alopecia areata, and complete baldness.
