How To Know The Difference & Treat It Early
Hair fall and thinning hair are often confused, but they are not the same problem. Understanding thinning hair vs hair fall helps you take the right action early and avoid long term hair loss.
What Is Hair Fall
Hair fall refers to excessive daily shedding (telogen effluvium). In simple words, more hair enters the shedding phase due to stress, illness, or hormonal changes.
What Is Thinning Hair
Thinning hair means gradual reduction in hair density over time (androgenetic alopecia). In simple words, hair grows back finer and weaker with each cycle.
