Question 1

How much hair fall is normal?

Accepted Answer

Shedding of roughly 50–100 hairs a day is generally considered normal. Persistent shedding beyond that, visible scalp or a changing hairline is worth having assessed rather than self-treating.

Question 2

What causes hair loss?

Accepted Answer

Common contributors include genetic pattern hair loss, thyroid or iron abnormalities, post-illness or post-partum shedding, certain medications, and scalp conditions such as seborrhoeic dermatitis. More than one factor is often present.

Question 3

Which tests may be advised?

Accepted Answer

Depending on your history, blood tests for haemoglobin, ferritin, thyroid function or vitamin D may be advised, along with a clinical scalp examination. Tests are ordered only where they will change the plan.

Question 4

Can hair loss be reversed?

Accepted Answer

Some types — such as shedding after illness or a correctable deficiency — often recover with treatment of the cause. Pattern hair loss is progressive and is managed rather than cured. Response varies between individuals.

Question 5

How long before I see a change?

Accepted Answer

Hair grows slowly, so meaningful change is usually assessed after three to six months of consistent treatment. Early weeks may even show continued shedding as follicles cycle.

Question 6

Do I need a transplant?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Surgery is considered when hair loss is stable, medical treatment alone will not achieve the goal, and donor supply is adequate. Many patients are managed without surgery.
