Hair loss can significantly impact self-confidence, especially if it leads to noticeable bald spots. While genetics play a major role, other causes include diseases like diabetes or thyroid conditions, certain medications (e.g., chemotherapy, birth control), and poor nutrition, particularly deficiencies in protein and iron. Medical treatments such as chemotherapy also heighten the risk of hair loss, potentially leading to conditions like alopecia. Additional factors include hormonal changes, aggressive hairstyling, scalp infections, and disorders like trichotillomania, which disrupt the hair growth cycle.
