How to Stop Hair Fall: Causes and Effective Treatments

Hair fall is a common problem that everyone has faced at some point. It can be quite alarming seeing hair on pillows, combs, and hair brushes. But the truth is, hair fall is common, and in many situations, it can even be controlled. 

At Citrine Clinic, we focus on treating the root cause of the problem. This blog will detail why hair fall happens and how it can be stopped. 
 

Normal Shedding vs. Hair Fall: What is the Difference?

Let us look at the numbers. On average, a healthy person loses about 50 to 100 strands of hair a day. This is just your body making room for new hair to grow.

Nevertheless, you need to consult an expert if:

• You find bald spots or patches on your scalp. 
• You notice that your ponytail feels thinner than before.
• You see clumps of hair falling out when you wash or style it.
• Your hair parting is becoming wider.

What Causes Hair Fall?

Hair fall isn't just one problem; it is often a signal from your body. Here are the most common causes we see at our clinic:

1. Genetics (Male and Female Pattern Baldness)

This is the most common cause. If your parents or grandparents had thinning hair, you might have inherited genes that cause your hair follicles to shrink over time.

2. Hormonal Changes

Hormones play a huge role in hair health. Many women experience hair fall after pregnancy, during menopause, or due to conditions like PCOS. Thyroid issues can also lead to significant thinning.

3. Stress and Lifestyle

High levels of physical or emotional stress can push your hair into a resting phase, causing it to fall out a few months later. Poor sleep, smoking, and high pollution levels also contribute to the problem.

4. Nutritional Deficiencies

Your hair needs fuel to grow. If you are low on Iron (Anemia), Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, or Protein, your hair will be the first thing your body stops spending energy on.

5. Scalp Infections

Issues like severe dandruff (seborrheic dermatitis) or fungal infections can inflame the scalp and weaken the hair roots.

Advanced Hair Fall Treatments at Citrine Clinic

At Citrine Clinic, Dr. Niti Gaur and her team use a medical-first approach. We don't just give you a lotion; we find the root cause and use FDA-approved technology to treat it.

1. GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) Treatment

GFC is highly effective and much more advanced than traditional methods.

• How it works: We take a small amount of your blood and use a special kit to extract only the growth factors. These are then injected back into your scalp.
• Why it’s better: It is pure, highly concentrated, and specifically targets the hair roots to make them stronger and thicker.
• Results: Most patients see a significant reduction in hair fall within 3–4 sessions.

2. P-R-P (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy

P-R-P uses your own blood's platelets to stimulate dormant (sleeping) hair follicles.

• Best for: People starting to see early thinning or a widening part.
• Benefit: It is completely natural since it uses your own cells, meaning there is no risk of allergy. 

3. Mesotherapy

If your hair gets thin due to lack of nutrients, mesotherapy is an effective choice. 

• How it works: A cocktail of various vitamins, minerals, and amino acids is delivered into the middle layers of the scalp.
• Benefits: Mesotherapy increases blood circulation and provides the follicles the food they require to grow. 

4. Hair Transplant (FUE & FUT)

For people suffering from severe hair loss or bald spots, a hair transplant offers a permanent solution. 

• FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Here, we extract individual hair follicles from your scalp and transfer them to the bald region. There will be no stitches, and there won't be any linear scars.
• Benefit: Your hair will look totally natural since it is your own hair growing.

Simple Tips to Prevent Hair Fall at Home 

While medical treatments are essential for regrowth, these daily habits help maintain your results:

• Eat more Protein: Include eggs, lentils, spinach, and nuts in your diet.
• No Tight Hair Styles: Ponytails and buns that pull on your scalp cause traction alopecia. 
• Use a Wide-Toothed Comb: This lessens breakage when your hair is wet. 
• Check the Water You Use: Using hard water can damage your hair. It is best to use water softener. 

When Should You See a Doctor? 

Don’t wait too long. Visit a clinic if:

• Hair fall lasts more than 2–3 months
• You see scalp patches
• Hair volume has reduced significantly
• Home remedies are not helping

Early treatment gives better results.
