Have you been noticing excessive *hair fall lately? To effectively treat it and avoid it in the future, the first step is to know what's causing it so you can figure out how to prevent hair fall.
The tricky thing about hair fall is that it can be due to a variety of factors including the following:

2. Hormones play a big part in your body’s functions, so you may notice hair fall after pregnancy or menopause or when you have a hormonal imbalance.
3. Illnesses and certain medications with side effects can disrupt your hair’s natural cycle, which causes hair fall.
4. When you lose weight suddenly and drastically, your body goes into crisis mode and stops sending nutrients to non-essential parts like your hair, causing hair fall.

  3. 3. Avoid hairstyles that stress the hair like tight ponytails and braids. Try alternating tight and loose hairstyles to give your hair a break.
