GlossarySevere Hair Loss

excessive shedding of hair beyond normal daily loss

Severe Hair Loss, also known as Extreme Hair Loss or Significant Hair Loss, refers to an excessive shedding of hair that goes beyond the normal daily loss of 50-100 strands. This condition can result from various factors, including genetics, hormonal imbalances, medical conditions like alopecia areata, nutritional deficiencies, or stress. It often leads to noticeable thinning or bald patches and may require medical intervention to diagnose and treat the underlying cause.
