Let us conduct a hair fall test 

  1. On average one can lose up to 15 strands of hair in a day. It is still not termed Hair Loss, but when the rate of hair strands lost in a day increases and the rate at which the hair strands regrow decreases, then you suffer hair fall 
  2. Observe your pillow or towel or clothing after sleep or shower.  If there are more than 8- 10 strands of hair then you suffer hair fall.

  • Hormonal changes and medical conditions: Hormonal ailments like Hypothyroidism, Menopause, pregnancy, and Diabetes causes hair fall.
  • Usage of chemical-based hair Products: scalp being a delicate surface, gets easily damaged with the usage of chemical-based hair products.
