Common Causes of Hair Fall & Dermatologist – Approved Solutions

Leave a Comment / November 27, 2025

Common Causes of Hair Fall – Hair fall is something many people face at some point in life. Understanding common causes of hair fall and pairing them with dermatologist-approved solutions can help restore health, confidence, and length. Dr. Stuti Khare Shukla has helped thousands with non-surgical, scientific, and holistic methods. This article explores what causes hair fall and what to do about each cause.

What Are the Common Causes of Hair Fall?

Dr. Shukla’s clinical experience and case studies highlight several recurring causes. Knowing them is the first step toward prevention and treatment:-

  1. Hormonal Changes
     Fluctuations due to puberty, pregnancy, menopause, thyroid disorders, or conditions like PCOS often disrupt the hair growth cycle. Hair that should stay in growth phase may prematurely enter resting or shedding phases.
  2. Genetic or Pattern Hair Loss
     Androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern thinning) is a primary cause. Follicles gradually miniaturize, producing thinner hair over time.
  3. Nutritional Deficiencies
     In Dr. Shukla’s teenage case study, deficiencies in Vitamin D, iron, zinc, and protein played a significant role. Poor diet also amplifies hair weakening.
  4. Stress and Lifestyle Factors
     Mental stress, lack of sleep, over-use of screen time, irregular routines contribute to shedding (telogen effluvium). Teenagers under academic pressure are a notable group.
  5. Scalp Health Issues
     Conditions like dandruff, excess sebum, poor hygiene, inflammation, or fungal imbalance can impair follicle environment. Without a healthy scalp, even strong internal health might not show.
  6. External Damage
     Chemical treatments, frequent colouring, harsh hairstyles or tight styles, excessive styling tools, improper care amplify breakage and hair loss.
  7. Aging
     Over time, natural slowdown in follicle activity, slower growth cycles, and thinning hair shaft are common. Genetic predisposition and lifestyle hasten or worsen aging effects. (In Dr. Shukla’s blogs referencing pattern thinning and “balding or thinning”.

Dermatologist-Approved Solutions for Addressing Hair Fall

Now that we’ve identified what causes hair fall, here are what Dr. Stuti Khare Shukla recommends — evidence-based, non-surgical interventions that really help.

Solutions for Nutritional & Hormonal Causes

Balanced Nutrition & Supplements:-

  • Correct deficiencies in iron, zinc, biotin, Vitamin D, and B-vitamins. In the teenage case, correcting mild anemia and Vitamin D deficiency helped reduce shedding
  • Include protein in diet (eggs, legumes, fish), as hair shafts are made of keratin (protein).
  • Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants help scalp health and reduce oxidative stress. 

Hormone Testing & Management:-

  • Identify thyroid disorders, PCOS, or hormonal fluctuations; appropriate medical treatment or referral can correct or stabilize hair cycles.
  • For female patients, evaluating menopause or postpartum hormonal shifts is important.

Solutions for Stress, Lifestyle & Sleep:-

  • Stress management: meditation, adequate sleep, relaxation techniques. Chronic stress exaggerates shedding.
  • Maintain a regular sleep schedule, enough hydration, reduced screen time, avoid over-working.

Scalp Care & External Protection:-

  • Use mild, sulfate-free cleansers. Harsh shampoos irritate scalp, strip natural oils.
  • Gentle styling: avoid tight hairstyles, reduce chemical exposure (frequent colouring, strong dyes). These damage hair shafts and can lead to breakage. 
  • Maintain scalp hygiene to prevent dandruff, excess sebum or fungal issues. A healthy scalp supports better hair growth.

Non-Surgical Clinical Solutions including the Hair Growth Booster®

Dr. Shukla emphasizes a non-surgical, holistic method combining several elements. One of the centerpieces is:

Hair Growth Booster®:-

  • An FDA-approved treatment that delivers growth-activating nutrients, peptides, scalp nourishment designed to revive dormant follicles.
  • Sessions are quick (five-minute) and either in-clinic or at home depending on situation.
  • Works across causes including genetic thinning, hormonal imbalance, stress shedding.

Topical & Scalp Serums:-

  • Custom-formulated serums and scalp treatments to strengthen roots, restore scalp barrier, reduce inflammation.

Lifestyle & Daily Routine Adjustments:-

  • Sleep hygiene, stress control, balanced diet, mild care—these help make other treatments more effective.
  • Avoid heat, harsh chemicals, and frequent styling that strains hair.

Matching Solutions to Specific Causes

Here is a guide pairing types of hair fall causes with what solutions tend to work well under Dr. Shukla’s care:

Cause Key Solutions
Hormonal imbalance / PCOS / thyroid issues Hormone evaluation, appropriate medical care, diet + Hair Growth Booster®
Nutritional deficiency (iron, zinc, protein etc.) Nutritional corrections / supplements + diet + mild external support
Stress / lifestyle shedding Stress relief practices, sleep hygiene, avoid damaging habits, gentle care
Scalp conditions (dandruff, inflammation) Scalp serums, cleansing routines, reducing irritants + supportive boosters
Genetic pattern thinning Early intervention with Hair Growth Booster®, regular topical regimes, scalp health maintenance
Damage from external styling / chemicals Cut back on harsh treatments, use of mild cleansers, strengthen strands with hair-friendly rituals + booster treatments

A Case Study: Reversal Without Surgery

One of the powerful examples from Dr. Shukla’s site is Aarav (age 17) (from “Teenage Hair Fall Treated Without Surgery – Case Study”):

  • Challenges: He had excessive daily shedding, thinning at crown and sides, mild anemia, Vitamin D deficiency, academic stress, poor sleep.
  • Interventions: Personalized plan involving Hair Growth Booster®, topical and scalp products, nutritional correction (iron, zinc, biotin, Vitamin D), lifestyle changes (sleep, stress), scalp care (gentle shampoo, avoiding chemicals).
  • Results Over Time:

    • Weeks 4-6: reduced shedding, appearance of baby hairs.
    • Weeks 8-12: visible thickening, new hair across receding areas.
    • Month 6: stable results, maintenance plan started.

This illustrates how understanding causes + applying dermatologist-approved solutions works.
