Question 1

Q: Does genetics play a role in hair loss?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes. Hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common cause in both men and women.

Question 2

Q: Can menopause cause thinning hair?

Accepted Answer

A: Absolutely. During menopause and perimenopause, falling oestrogen and progesterone levels often trigger noticeable thinning.

Question 3

Q: Why does hair fall out after pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

A: Postpartum shedding is very common. Hormone levels shift after birth, which can cause more hairs than usual to fall out for a few months.

Question 4

Q: Is ageing linked to hair loss?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes. As we age, hair follicles naturally produce finer, thinner hair, leading to gradual thinning over time.

Question 5

Q: Can stress make me lose hair?

Accepted Answer

A: Stress can push more hair follicles into a resting phase, leading to temporary shedding. This is known as telogen effluvium.

Question 6

Q: Does diet affect hair health?

Accepted Answer

A: Poor nutrition, or deficiencies in key nutrients like iron, vitamin D, zinc, and protein, can all impact hair growth and strength.

Question 7

Q: Is smoking linked to hair loss?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes. Smoking reduces blood flow to the scalp, which can weaken follicles and contribute to thinning.
