    I am shedding more hair than usual and worried. 💇 What are the common causes and the best first steps?

    Hair loss: common causes and what to do early

    First steps

    Cause Note
    Androgenetic (pattern) 👨‍🦲 Genetic, most common
    Stress shedding 😰 Telogen effluvium, often reversible
    Iron or vitamin deficiency 🩸 Easily tested
    Thyroid 🦋 Worth checking
    • See a doctor or dermatologist
    • Get blood work
    • Act early, hair recovery takes time

    What helped you understand your hair loss? 💆
