✨ The 7 Most Common Causes of Hair Loss – and How to Treat Them Effectively

11/30/2025

Hair loss affects both men and women, and its causes can be multiple. At Hair Mania Clinic, we meet patients every day who don’t know the real source of their hair loss. Yet understanding the cause is the first step toward restoring strong, healthy hair.

In this article, we cover the 7 most frequent causes of hair loss, how to recognize them, and the most effective solutions to treat each one.

1. Androgenetic Alopecia: The Most Common Cause

Androgenetic alopecia — also known as “hormonal hair loss” — is the most widespread type of hair loss in both men and women.

Typical Symptoms

  • Receding hairline

  • Thinning on the crown or top of the head

  • Diffuse thinning in women

Effective Treatments at Hair Mania Clinic

  • Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)

  • Medical treatments (minoxidil, finasteride when indicated, PRP, mesotherapy)

  • Personalized anti-hair loss programs

2. Post-partum Hair Loss

After childbirth, 40–50% of women experience noticeable shedding due to hormonal fluctuations.

How to Recognize It

  • Sudden shedding, sometimes by handfuls

  • Diffuse thinning across the scalp

  • Appears 2–4 months after delivery

How We Treat It

  • Customized supplementation

  • Gentle scalp stimulation (LED therapy, PRP)

  • Nutritional support

At Hair Mania Clinic, we offer safe and effective programs tailored for new mothers.

3. Stress and Emotional Shock

Stress can disrupt the growth cycle of the hair and trigger telogen effluvium, a sudden but temporary shedding.

Signs to Look For

  • Diffuse shedding all over the scalp

  • Weak or fragile hair

  • Appears 2–3 months after a stressful event

Solutions

  • Comprehensive trichological assessment

  • Nutritional rebalancing

  • PRP or mesotherapy sessions

  • Natural anti-stress treatments and lifestyle recommendations

4. Nutritional Deficiencies

Deficiencies in iron, zinc, vitamin D, biotin or protein can weaken hair follicles and lead to shedding.

At Hair Mania Clinic, we recommend:

  • Blood analysis when necessary

  • Targeted supplementation

  • Dietary advice tailored to your needs

5. Scalp Conditions

Certain scalp issues can cause temporary or permanent hair loss, such as

  • Seborrheic dermatitis

  • Psoriasis

  • Alopecia areata

  • Folliculitis

A professional medical evaluation is essential before starting any treatment.

6. Aggressive Hair Care Practices

Frequent straightening, bleaching, tight hairstyles, extensions or harsh chemical treatments can damage the hair shaft and weaken the roots.

What Helps

  • Repairing care program

  • Strengthening serums

  • Reducing aggressive styling routines

7. Hormonal Imbalances

Menopause, thyroid disorders, or hormonal treatments can lead to gradual thinning of the hair.

Possible Treatments

  • Medical therapy when appropriate

  • Stimulating treatments (PRP, mesotherapy, LED therapy)

  • Hair transplantation for areas with extensive thinning
