Human hair falls out naturally. In a day, an average of 50-150 hair strands fall out for no particular reason and subsequently, it grows back because the hair follicles are healthy. Most hair re-grows before we even know it, as long as the scalp and follicles are rich with nutrients. Hair loss happens because the "natural falling of hair" occurs rather fast, while the replacement process seems very slow. It may cause baldness if not treated immediately.

Causes of Hair Loss:

1. 1
   Genetics or Hereditary (Androgenetic Alopecia)
