Hair Fall: Causes, Remedies, and Prevention Hair is often called the "crowning glory," and healthy, thick hair is considered a sign of vitality. But in today’s lifestyle, hair fall has become one of the most common complaints among both men and women. Understanding why it happens and how to manage it is the first step toward healthy hair.

Hormonal Changes – Thyroid imbalance, PCOS, menopause, or post-pregnancy changes affect hair growth. 3. Stress & Sleep Issues – Mental strain disturbs the body’s balance, leading to hair fall. 4. Scalp Problems – Dandruff, infections, or excess oiliness can block follicles. 5. Lifestyle...
