Why is my hair falling?

How the cause finder works

Hair fall usually has a cause that can be found: genetics, a recent illness, low iron, thyroid problems, PCOS, delivery, dandruff or hair damage. Each answer you give points towards some of these patterns. We show the ones that match best, explain why, and list the tests worth discussing with your doctor.

What it isn't

It isn't a diagnosis. It's a starting point for a better conversation with a dermatologist. If you have sudden bald patches, scalp pain or scarring, or hair loss with fever or weight loss, please see a doctor. Medical disclaimer
