Dermatologist Explains Difference Between Hair Shedding, Hair Loss

Dermatologist Dr Jushya explains that hair-shedding is triggered by external factors whereas hair-loss can be genetic as well. Jushya says shedding 50-100 hair strands per day is completely normal, however, the number can exceed for someone who underwent labour, weight loss or mental stress. Moreover, experts claim hair-loss is mainly associated with heredity, immunity system or harsh hair products. For defective genes, she says women face hair-thinning while men suffer bald patches due to this.
