On an average basis, people tend to lose about 50 to 100 hair a day. It is usually never noticeable as new hair simultaneously grows at the same time, replacing the lost one. Hair loss starts to happen when new hair finds difficulty in growing, thus unable to replace the fallen out hair.
According to Dr. Jangid, one of the best dermatologist in Delhi NCR operating at SkinQure says that hair loss can typically be related to several factors like:
Family history: Hereditary condition is considered as the most common cause of hair loss both in men and women. The condition being called as androgenic alopecia results in male-pattern and female-pattern baldness respectively, affecting the scalp region.

Supplements and medications: Hair loss can further occur due to the side effects of certain drugs used for medicinal purposes. Cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, etcetera are some of such conditions.
