  • Hair thinning can indicate nutritional gaps, hormonal shifts, illness, product reactions, or weather changes.
  • Temporary hair cycle disruption (Telogen Effluvium) can be caused by fever, infection, surgery, or drastic lifestyle changes.
  • Nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin D, B12, protein) and hormonal imbalances (PCOS, thyroid, postpartum) are key factors.
  • Harsh hair products, excessive heat styling, tight hairstyles, and chemical treatments can damage hair.
  • Seasonal transitions and environmental factors like winter dryness can also contribute to hair thinning.
