Causes of Male Pattern Hair Fall

Causes of Male Pattern Hair Fall 

Hormonal Imbalance (DHT & Testosterone)

  1. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) – A byproduct of testosterone that shrinks hair follicles, leading to thinning and hair fall.
  2. Low Testosterone & High DHT – Causes weak hair roots & bald patches.
  3. Thyroid Imbalance – Affects scalp health and hair growth cycle.  

Poor Scalp Health & Blood Circulation 

  1. Blocked Hair Follicles – Due to dandruff, oil buildup, and pollution. 
  2. Weak Blood Flow – Reduces nutrient supply to hair follicles, leading to hair thinning.

Gut Health & Immunity 

  1. Nutrient Deficiencies (Iron, Vitamin D, Biotin, Zinc) – Leads to weak hair strands. 
  2. Poor Gut Absorption – Affects the production of keratin and collagen, essential for strong hair. 
  3. Autoimmune Conditions – Conditions like alopecia areata attack hair follicles.

Stress & Hair Fall (Cortisol & Poor Happy Hormones) 

  1. High Cortisol (Stress Hormone) – Weakens hair follicles & leads to hair shedding. 
  2. Low Serotonin & Dopamine (Happy Hormones) – Causes dull, brittle hair. 

Lifestyle Factors 

  1. Excessive Use of Hair Products & Heat Styling – Weakens hair strands. 
  2. Smoking & Alcohol – Damages hair roots & increases DHT production. 

Ayurvedic View on Hair Loss (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) 

  1. Vata Imbalance (Dry Scalp & Weak Roots) – Causes brittle hair, split ends & excessive hair fall. 
  2. Pitta Imbalance (Excess Heat & DHT Production) – Leads to premature greying & thinning of hair.
  3. Kapha Imbalance (Oily Scalp & Dandruff) – Blocks hair follicles, causing slow hair growth.
