Why Am I Losing So Much Hair?

The question of why am I losing so much hair is the basic question of both men and women. Hair loss can occur due to reasons such as stress, iron deficiency, hormonal disorders, and seasonal changes. Most of the time, the reason for hair loss is genetic. There is no definite solution to this problem, but it can be prevented.

Hair loss can isolate the person from his social life. It may even be a sign of some diseases. Even a healthy person loses an average of 100-150 strands of hair per day. However, if this number increases and more of your hair starts to fall out, you may need to consult a dermatologist. After that, the type and the cause of hair loss are determined and a treatment is given according to the person.
