Hair Fall
Hair fall is one of the most common hair concerns affecting both men and women. While losing some hair every day is normal, excessive hair shedding may indicate an underlying issue that requires proper evaluation.
Hair loss can occur due to several factors such as stress, hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, genetics, scalp infections, or lifestyle changes. If hair fall continues for a prolonged period, it can lead to noticeable thinning and reduced hair density.
At Revola Skin & Hair Clinic, we help patients understand the causes of hair fall and provide professional guidance to manage the condition effectively.
Experiencing Excessive Hair Fall?
If you notice any of the following signs, it may indicate a hair fall condition:
- Excessive hair shedding while combing or washing hair
- Noticeable thinning or reduced hair volume
- Widening of the hair parting
- Receding hairline in men
- Hair breakage and weak strands
- Hair fall accompanied by dandruff or scalp irritation
Persistent hair fall should not be ignored, as early evaluation helps prevent further hair thinning.
Common Causes of Hair Fall
Hair fall can occur due to a combination of internal and external factors.
- Genetic hair loss (hereditary pattern hair loss)
- Hormonal changes such as thyroid disorders or PCOS
- Stress and lifestyle factors
- Nutritional deficiencies (iron, protein, vitamins)
- Scalp conditions like dandruff or infections
- Excessive heat styling or chemical treatments
- Post-illness or post-pregnancy hair shedding
Understanding the root cause of hair fall is important before choosing the right treatment approach.
Why Early Diagnosis Matters
Hair fall may start as mild shedding but can gradually progress into noticeable hair thinning if not addressed.
- Identify underlying health conditions
- Prevent permanent hair follicle damage
- Control excessive hair shedding

A professional scalp evaluation helps determine the exact cause and severity of hair loss.
