The term “hair shedding” refers to the normal cycle through which hair falls out as part of normal growth; on average, between 50 – 100 hairs can typically be lost daily. When hair enters the resting stage (telogen stage) and, after this stage, when returned to the new growth cycle, hair that fell has been replaced by new hair.
Crown Hair Transplant specialists in the Delhi NCR area of India constantly remind their patients that “normal” hair shedding is not synonymous with “hair loss” or “balding.” By thoroughly evaluating the patient, Crown Hair Transplant specialists can help to identify excessive amounts of hair falling out versus temporary shedding. This way, patients receive appropriate guidance regarding treatment and/or preventative care at an appropriate time.
What Causes Excessive Hair Shedding and Should You Be Concerned?
Hair fall in large quantities can be caused by a variety of factors including stress, health issues, hormonal imbalance, inadequate nutrition, pregnancy, extreme weight loss or use of medications. Telogen effluvium is a condition that causes increased hair fall over a short period of time. In most cases, telogen effluvium will stop on its own.
If hair loss continues for several months or becomes more noticeable with visible thinning, it may indicate hereditary baldness or an underlying scalp condition. Identifying the cause early is important, as timely diagnosis can help slow further hair loss and improve treatment outcomes. At Crown Hair Transplant in Delhi NCR, India, experienced specialists assess hair loss patterns in detail and guide patients toward appropriate medical or hair restoration solutions, helping prevent progression and support healthy hair regrowth.
How Is Hair Shedding Treated Effectively ?
Treatment begins with identifying the underlying cause of hair shedding. Mild and temporary cases often respond well to lifestyle modifications and medical therapy. However, when hair shedding progresses into permanent thinning or patterned hair loss, surgical hair restoration offers the most reliable and long-term solution.
