Hair is deeply tied to our sense of identity, so for many, the first signs of thinning or hair loss can feel like losing a part of themselves. It can happen gradually or suddenly, from noticing a few extra strands on your pillow to discovering a bald spot. Depending on the cause, hair loss may be temporary or permanent. A global study found that around 85 per cent of men and 33 per cent of women experience hair loss in their lifetime.

Dr Chang Chee Seong, co-founder of Kaiteki Group of Clinics, specialises in hair restoration and understands the devastating impact hair loss can have on self-esteem. For both men and women, the leading cause is androgenetic alopecia (AGA), or genetic hair loss. “This accounts for about half of all hair loss cases,” says Chang, adding that while you can’t change your genes, early treatment can slow or minimise its progression.

Women often face the added challenge of hormonal changes, especially after pregnancy, which can trigger noticeable shedding. While it may seem permanent, Chang reassures that it usually subsides once hormone levels begin to stabilise.

Everyday decisions, like what you eat and how you deal with stress, can also have a significant impact. Stress is one of the most underestimated contributors to hair loss, causing a temporary condition called telogen effluvium. Hair sheds more rapidly than usual and grows back at a slower rate. “Fortunately, this type of hair loss often resolves on its own, within three to six months, once stress levels decrease,” Chang notes.
