Hair Fall Checker — Find the Root Cause of Your Hair Loss
बालों का झड़ना क्यों हो रहा है? जानें अभी
Losing 50–100 strands of hair daily is completely normal. But if your hairline is receding, your ponytail feels thinner, or you're finding clumps in the shower, something deeper may be going on.
Hair fall in Indian women is most commonly triggered by iron deficiency, thyroid imbalance, PCOS, postpartum hormonal shifts, stress, or poor nutrition. The tricky part? All of these have different solutions — so identifying the root cause matters before reaching for a hair serum.
This quick Hair Fall Checker analyses your symptoms, patterns, and lifestyle to give you a personalised root cause assessment and actionable next steps.
How It Works | कैसे काम करता है
Answer questions about your hair fall pattern (diffuse thinning vs. specific patches), when it started, your diet, recent health changes, and stress levels. The checker maps your answers to the most likely cause and tells you whether to try home remedies, see a dermatologist, or get blood tests done.
Frequently Asked Questions | अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
Answers written for Indian women — honest, practical, and doctor-verified.
How much hair fall is normal per day?
Losing 50–100 hairs daily is completely normal as part of the hair growth cycle. If you're losing significantly more — especially noticing visible thinning or patches — it's worth investigating the cause.
What are the most common causes of hair fall in women?
Iron deficiency anaemia is the #1 cause in Indian women. Other common causes include thyroid disorders, PCOS, Vitamin D and B12 deficiency, postpartum hormonal changes, chronic stress, crash dieting, and certain medications.
Can stress cause hair fall?
Yes. Telogen effluvium is stress-induced hair fall where a large number of hairs enter the resting phase simultaneously and fall out 2–3 months after a stressful event (illness, surgery, emotional trauma). It's usually temporary.
Will oiling my hair stop hair fall?
Hair oiling improves scalp circulation and can reduce breakage, but it won't fix hair fall caused by internal deficiencies or hormonal issues. Address the root cause first, then use oiling as a supportive practice.
क्या बाल वापस उगते हैं?
ज़्यादातर मामलों में हाँ — अगर कारण का इलाज हो जाए। आयरन, थायरॉइड, या PCOS से जुड़ा हेयर फॉल आमतौर पर 6–12 महीने में ठीक हो जाता है। एंड्रोजेनेटिक एलोपेसिया (पैटर्न बाल्डनेस) के लिए दीर्घकालिक उपचार की ज़रूरत होती है।
When should I see a dermatologist for hair fall?
See a dermatologist if: hair fall has lasted more than 3 months despite lifestyle changes, you notice bald patches or a receding hairline, your scalp is itchy or inflamed, or blood tests show your iron/thyroid/Vitamin D are already normal.
Does hair fall increase after pregnancy?
Yes — postpartum hair fall (telogen effluvium) is extremely common 3–6 months after delivery, as hormone levels drop sharply. It's temporary and usually resolves within a year. Ensure adequate iron and protein intake during this period.
