Diseases: Thyroid disease leads to the deficiency of hormones that cause hair loss. Conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis damage hair follicles, which causes hair to fall. Medication used to treat certain diseases such as cancer also affect the hair.

Women tend to lose hair due to polycystic ovarian syndrome, after childbirth and during menopause due to the decrease in estrogen levels.

Poor diet: the deficiency of iron, vitamin B and Zinc.

Stress can alter the resting periods of hair growth resulting in sudden hair loss.
