Article written and reviewed by a pharmacist graduated from the Faculty of Paris

Purpose of this article

This article will help you:

  • understand that hair loss rarely has a single cause

  • identify the main dominant cause in your situation

Common hair loss profiles

1) Stress- and fatigue-related hair loss

  • onset after emotional or physical stress

  • poor sleep, chronic fatigue

  • diffuse hair shedding
