What is Hair Loss?
We lose 50-100 hair strands daily as a part of the natural hair growth cycle comprising three phases: growth, rest, and fall. In this cycle, the old, dull, and unhealthy hairs are replaced by new hairs from the hair follicles. While in hair loss, excessive hair fall occurs, and more than the average number of hair strands fall out with no signs of regrowth. Hair loss occurs due to various internal and external factors and can become extensive if the cause is not treated on time.Â
What is Puberty?
Puberty is that time of life when the body starts to develop physically and undergo numerous changes. Puberty begins at the age of 8-13 in girls and 10-14 years in boys. Puberty is more of a hormonal game where due to hormonal changes, an individual becomes sexually mature. Enlargements of breasts, visible pubic hairs, and initiation of the menstrual cycle are common changes in females. Broadening of chests, hair growth on the face, back, and pubic areas, and deepening of the voice are common changes in males. Â
Common Causes of Puberty and Hair Loss
As the body goes through numerous puberty changes, problems like acne, pimples, and hair loss might arise. Below are the common causes that lead to hair loss in the days of puberty.Â
- Hormonal ImbalanceÂ
Hormonal imbalance and hair loss are common in puberty. Testosterone is a hormone in both male and female bodies, leading to dihydrotestosterone or DHT formation. DHT affects the hair follicles, causes thinning, and leads to hair loss.Â
- MalnutritionÂ
Consumption of fast food may lead to malnutrition. The deficiency of vitamins, protein, iron, calcium, and zinc leads to hair thinning and then hair loss.Â
- Stress
Academic-related stress in teenagers can lead to hair loss.Â
- Hair StylingÂ
Often using hair styling machines, excessive heat, dyes, and harsh chemicals also lead to hair loss problems in teenagers.Â
