<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAlopecia or hair loss is the process in which inactive or dead hair is emitted from the skin. Hair fall may have an impact on the social and psychological well-being of men and women of different age groups 1<\/a><\/sup>. Hair loss patterns may be apparent, or the hair loss may occur in a diffused pattern 2<\/a><\/sup>. Hair loss is sometimes permanent, like male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness. These male and female patterns of baldness are usually passed from one generation to another 2<\/a>,3<\/a><\/sup>. Although not life-threatening but hair loss is stressful and has a significant effect on the quality of life of the patient. Read along to find some possible home remedies that may be helpful 2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>What Causes Hair Fall?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nNormally we lose around 50 and 100 hair a day, and we need not worry about it. But sometimes, it may be a sign of an underlying medical condition. The hair loss can be non-cicatricial, known as nonscarring (non-permanent damage of\u00a0hair\u00a0follicles), or cicatricial, also known as scarring (possibly permanent and irreversible destruction of\u00a0hair\u00a0follicles)2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetics:<\/strong> A family history of hair loss such as female pattern baldness and male pattern baldness (also known as androgenetic alopecia)2<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n
The hair loss may be due to the distribution of the androgen (male hormone) sensitive follicles. Beginning right from puberty, androgens reduce the anagen phase (the active phase of the hair) and cause follicular miniaturisation (constriction of hair follicles, making it harder for hair to grow), leading to vellus (very thin like body hair) like hair formation and gradual hair thinning 1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Symptoms of Hair Fall<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHair loss can be thinning of hair where gradually more scalp becomes visible or hair shedding when large quantities of hair fall out. Determination of the patient\u2019s exact condition may clarify the cause, set of causes, or manner of the hair loss 1<\/a><\/sup>. The symptoms of hair fall are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
