•According to Ayurved hair fall or Khalitya is happening because of Pitta Dosha Dushti.

•Lets look it, in details

Causes;

•1. Stress, unhealthy lifestyle

•2. hormonal changes,

•Thyroid, DHT

•PCOD., after delivery, menopause,

•3. some diseases- lupus-autoimmune disorders, diabetes, bacterial and fungal infection on the scalp

•4.  uses of detergents or harsh chemical based shampoo, conditioners etc., pollution.

5. Poor diet or deficiency-

•Deficiency of iron calcium, zinc, Vit A, B, D, C, E

•Deficiency of protein

6. Some medicine or treatment-

•Chemotherapy for cancer

•Medicines for treating HTN, gout, diabetes

•Excessive level of vita A

7. Ageing –8. genetic-

Causes of fair fall 1. Stress and unhealthy lifestyle

•Stress can push hair follicles into a “resting” phase so that they don’t produce new hair strands. Over time, hair can fall out more easily, even if you’re just washing, combing, or touching it. 

2. hormonal changes,

Thyroid, DHT, PCOD., after delivery, menopause

1. DHT-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a male steroid hormone that binds to receptors in your scalp and  in genetically susceptible men is responsible for hair loss.

•Your the body produces DHT as a byproduct of testosterone through the 5α-Reductase enzyme -- an enzyme that converts a certain percentage of your testosterone into DHT in tissue such as the skin, liver, prostate and hair follicles. Which can not allow absorbing anything in your scalp.

•DHT can bind to receptors in your hair follicles and cause them to shrink, weaken and eventually die. This process is called ‘miniaturization,’ and it eventually leads to a complete end of hair growth in DHT-affected hair follicles.

2. Thyroid- When hormone production is disrupted, specifically of hormones T3 and T4, it affects other processes in the body. This includes the development of hair at the root. Hair falls out and may not be replaced by new growth, resulting in thinning across your scalp and other areas such as your eyebrows.

3. PCOS can cause hyperandrogenism, a state in which the body produces too many androgens (male hormones). If hair follicles are androgen-sensitive, this can decrease the growth of hair on the scalp and increase the growth of body and facial hair (called hirsutism), 

4. Postpartum or after delivery, hair loss is normal and temporary. Most women will return to their usual hair growth cycle between 6 and 12 months after birth. 

•Postpartum hair loss commonly starts at around three months after birth. 

5. menopause, hair loss during menopause is the result of a hormonal imbalance. Specifically, it's related to a lowered production of estrogen and progesterone. ... Androgens shrink hair follicles, resulting in hair loss on the head. In some cases, however, these hormones can cause more hair to grow on the face.

2. Some diseases like-

lupus-autoimmune disorders

inflammation caused by lupus doesn't only affect hair on the scalp. It can also cause loss of eyebrows, beards, and eyelashes. Hair loss due to inflammation may be reversible, but only if you're able to successfully treat lupus and the disease goes into remission. 

•Having diabetes can also cause you to lose more hair than usual. People with diabetes are more likely to have a condition called alopecia areata. With alopecia, the immune system attacks the hair follicles, leading to patches of hair loss on the head and on other parts of the body.

bacterial and fungal infection on scalp

•Ringworm and other fungal infections can weaken a person's hair follicles, which can lead to hair loss. People with ringworm may notice distinct patches of hair loss on the scalp. but hair will regrow after treatment.

4. uses of detergents or harsh chemical based shampoo, conditioners

•They contain lauryl sulfates or sulfosuccinates as detergents and no conditioners. These polymers build up on the hair shaft after continuous use and make the hair look rough, dull and feel harsh.

5.Nutritional deficiency may impact both hair structure and hair growth.

•Deficiency of iron, calcium, zinc, vit A, B, D, C, E

•Deficiency of protien

Ferritin is a stored iron that helps to produce hair cell protein. hair follicle matrix cells are some of the most rapidly dividing cells in the body, and ID may contribute to hair loss via its role as a cofactor for ribonucleotide reductase, enzyme for DNA synthesis. some genes which is identified in the hair follicle may be regulated by iron

•Hemoglobin carries oxygen for the growth and repairs cells that stimulate hair growth. With treatment, you can help reverse both the iron deficiency and the hair loss.

• A calcium deficiency may lead to dry, broken, and brittle nails and hair. It can also contribute to alopecia, a condition that causes hair to fall out in round patches.

 Calcium intake can help you absorb iron also.

•Extreme zinc deficiency can cause hair loss. Zinc levels in the blood and hair are lower in men experiencing androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness. 

Vit A, B, C, D, AND E deficiency

•Vit A- Vitamin A is a group of compounds including retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, and provitamin A carotenoids. In murine studies, dietary vitamin A has been shown to activate hair follicle stem cells.

•Vit B- biotin

•Inadequate dietary B12, or poor absorption of vitamin B12 can cause a hair changes, including hair loss

•The vitamin B complex includes eight water-soluble vitamin-  Only riboflavin B2, biotin or vitamin H)B7, folate, and vitamin B12 deficiencies have been associated with hair loss. niacin (B3 )

•Vit C, E- vitamins C and E help prevent free radical damage in the hair follicles. Vitamin C also supports iron absorption 

•Vit D- Vitamin D stimulates hair follicles to grow. It may also be linked to alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition that causes patchy hair loss. 

Deficiency of protein

- Hair is made up of a type of protein called keratin that is produced in hair

-  so naturally, if you’re suffering from a protein deficiency, you might start to see changes to your hair like hairfall.

Deficiency of fatty acids

•fatty acids linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) and alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) can result from Hair changes include loss of scalp hair and eyebrows as well as lightening of hair.

•arachidonic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, may promote hair growth by enhancing follicle proliferation.

•Excessive level of vita A, and excess amount of Selenium can actually contribute to hair loss
