Balding can be highly stressful and people often come up with the questions of why their hairs are falling out. There are various reasons for this problem. It is more common in males as compared to females; which illustrates the fact that it can be genetic. This type of hair loss is called as male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia. This is mainly under the influence of dihydrotestosterone hormone which causes the follicles to fall in individuals whose scalp receptors are sensitive to this hormone. This issue can be hormonal, stress related, disease related and some medications can also trigger shedding.
Hair falling out is a major complaint of the patients suffering from thyroid disorder. It can be the alteration in the levels of secretion of thyroid hormones in the body.

These medicines can affect different people differently depending upon their genetic make-up.

Autoimmune diseases can also lead to hair falling out. Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s own immune system starts developing antibodies against its own cells. When these antibodies start attacking follicles, hair loss results. Dandruff can also cause hair loss as it urges the person to scratch the scalp shedding and pulling the hair strands from their roots.

Some other nutritional sources like vitamin D, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin A, copper, biotin, fatty acids and selenium have also shown to have an indirect link with hair breakage.
