July 26, 2025Hair Loss: When It's Normal, and When It's Not
We all lose some hair each day up to 100 strands is considered normal. But when that number increases significantly, or hair starts falling out in clumps, it’s a red flag.
- Bald patches or patchy hair loss
- A widening part or visible scalp
- Thinning hair all over the head
- Receding hairline
- Excessive hair shedding during brushing or washing
- Irritation, redness, or scaling on the scalp
These symptoms might point to an underlying issue that needs professional evaluation. At Este Hair Medical, we offer advanced hair diagnostics and restoration plans, helping clients not only restore hair but regain confidence and control.
What Could Be Causing Your Hair Loss?
1Thyroid Disorders
Your thyroid regulates your metabolism — and hair growth. Conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism can disrupt the natural hair cycle, leading to thinning or shedding. Other signs may include fatigue, weight changes, sensitivity to temperature, and mood swings.
Our advice: If hair loss comes with other health changes, it’s time to consult a medical expert. We can guide you toward the right diagnostics.2Autoimmune Conditions
Alopecia areata is autoimmune disease where your immune system mistakenly attacks your hair follicles. This can result in sudden, patchy hair loss on the scalp or body. These conditions often come with other symptoms like skin rashes, fatigue, or joint pain.
Early intervention is critical. At Este Hair Medical, we assess your scalp health alongside your overall wellness to identify potential autoimmune links.3Hormonal Imbalances
Hormones affect almost everything including your hair. Women experiencing menopause, PCOS, pregnancy, or post-partum changes may suffer from noticeable hair thinning. For men, DHT (a testosterone by-product) is the main culprit behind male pattern baldness.
Our trichologists and hair specialists are trained to detect hormonal patterns and offer targeted hair regrowth treatments with long-term results.4Nutritional Deficiencies
Hair is one of the first areas to suffer when your body lacks essential nutrients. Low iron, vitamin D, zinc, or biotin levels can halt hair growth and lead to excessive shedding. If you’ve recently changed your diet, had surgery, or experienced chronic illness, hair loss might follow.
We offer scalp testing protocols to rebalance your body from the inside out.5Stress & Trauma
Emotional or physical trauma can shock the hair growth cycle. Known as telogen effluvium, this condition causes a large number of hairs to enter the “resting phase” at once, resulting in heavy shedding weeks later.
Our compassionate experts offer supportive care plans that treat both the scalp and the underlying emotional toll hair loss can bring.
Understanding Your Hair Growth Cycle
Anagen (growth)
Catagen (transition)
Telogen (resting/shedding)
When this cycle is disrupted due to stress, hormones, illness, or lifestyle changes it causes more hairs to enter the telogen phase and fall out. At Este Hair Medical, we use trichoscopy and scalp diagnostics to analyse the growth cycle and determine what’s causing disruption.
Hair Loss in Men vs. Women: What’s the Difference?
Men
- Androgenetic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness)
- Often begins with a receding hairline or thinning at the crown
- Linked to DHT sensitivity and genetics
Women
- Most common condition: Female Pattern Hair Loss
- Presents as widening of the part or diffuse thinning
- Influenced by hormones, menopause, and thyroid function
While the presentation differs, the emotional impact is universal. Hair loss can cause low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. Our holistic approach at Este Hair Medical addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of hair loss.
