How much hair should actually fall out per day

Causes of loss

The number of hair follicles is established at birth, the thickness and color of the hair is genetically determined. Throughout life, hair replaces each other. But sometimes situations arise when hair loss occurs more than normal. 

In fact, the reasons are very varied. The main ones are androgenetic alopecia and diffuse telogen hair loss. 

In the first case, hair thinning occurs in the fronto-parietal zone of the head. This process is genetically determined and is inherent not only in men, but also in women. Until the age of 20, the hair behaves normally, and by the age of 30 it begins to thin and fall out.

With diffuse telogen hair loss, systematic hair loss occurs, associated with hormonal changes in the body, stress or taking medications. Loss begins in 2-3 months, as it is associated with the natural hair cycle, after a certain time everything will normalize by itself.

Chemical exposure when dyeing with low-quality dyes can also lead to active hair loss and even the formation of bald patches.

Hair is made up of protein, and with a vegan diet, hair often does not receive the nourishment it needs. At the same time, hair thinning and loss occurs.

This is a drug-induced reason: vaccination, taking various antibiotics and other medications, after illnesses that are accompanied by a high temperature, above 39 degrees.

Stress is one of the most important causes of hair loss. Hair also falls out against the background of endocrine diseases, most often it is the pathology of the thyroid gland, against the background of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, anemia, various deficiency conditions, as well as from exposure to high temperatures.
