Hair Treatment

Greying of hair occurs when the production of pigment (melanin) decreases due to ageing or genetic factors. Lifestyle factors such as smoking and poor diet may also contribute to premature greying.

Nutritional deficiencies, particularly of iron, biotin, and vitamin D, can cause hair to become thin and brittle and may contribute to hair loss.

Stress can cause hair loss due to a disruption in the hair growth cycle. Telogen effluvium is a condition in which hair enters the resting phase prematurely, resulting in increased hair shedding.

Ageing can cause hair to become thinner, weaker, and more prone to breakage. This is due to a decrease in hair follicles and a reduction in the production of growth factors.

Hair fall can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and autoimmune conditions.

Heredity plays a role in hair loss, particularly in androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), which is characterized by a progressive thinning of hair on the scalp.

Hormonal changes and medical conditions, such as thyroid disorders and polycystic ovary syndrome, can contribute to hair loss and thinning.

Certain medications and supplements can cause hair loss as a side effect, including chemotherapy drugs and high doses of vitamin A.

Radiation therapy to the head can damage hair follicles and lead to hair loss.

Androgenetic alopecia is a genetic condition that results in hair loss, typically on the scalp in a patterned distribution. It is caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal factors.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes patchy hair loss on the scalp, face, and other areas of the body. It is thought to be triggered by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
