A healthy scalp has an average of 100 thousand hairs and it is considered normal for adults to lose an average of 100-150 hairs per day due to washing and combing. Genetic predisposition, stress, vitamin deficiency and hormone imbalance, autoimmune diseases such as lupus, age, cancer, use of shampoos, serums and hair lotions with high chemical content, infections and ringworm are common causes of hair loss.
In a healthy person, hair loss can last up to 2 months. If the hair loss period exceeds 2 months, which occurs 3 times a year, it may be a sign of some serious diseases and may require specialist help. Hair loss usually begins 3-4 months after the triggering factor and can return to normal 6-12 months after these factors are treated.

Skin problems
Skin and internal diseases can also cause hair loss. Most skin-related hair loss occurs when diseases that affect the skin affect the scalp. If hair is affected by diseases such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, lichen, excessively oily skin, and fungal diseases, hair loss may be inevitable. Treatment of this hair loss is possible by treating the underlying skin disease.
Cosmetic factors
Increased cosmetic habits are other factors that cause mechanical, chemical and physical hair loss. In other words, tying hair tightly, under-caps, blow-drying processes that expose excessive heat, dyes used to lighten hair color, bleaches, lotions, shampoos with intense chemical content, straightening methods damage the hair from the outside and cause hair loss. In this case, the only treatment is to prevent hair from being exposed to these applications.
