Early onset alopecia: Why does it happen and what can you do now?

Early onset alopecia is significant hair loss that begins before the age of 30. It can manifest itself gradually—as a receding hairline or a thinning crown—or as a more diffuse and widespread hair loss.

Common Causes of Early-Onset Alopecia
1. Genetics: The most common cause is androgenetic alopecia (also known as common baldness), which can begin even in adolescence if there is a hereditary predisposition.
2. Chronic Stress: Physical or emotional stress can trigger a temporary hair loss known as telogen effluvium.
3. Hormonal Imbalances: Thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other hormonal imbalances can accelerate hair loss.
4. Nutritional Deficiencies: A lack of iron, zinc, vitamin D, or protein can weaken hair.
5. External Factors: Excessive use of flat irons, hair dryers, harsh chemicals, or tight hairstyles can also contribute to hair loss.

Warning Signs
* More hair than usual on the pillow or in the shower
* A more pronounced receding hairline or thinning of the hairline
* A decrease in overall hair volume
* Greater exposure of the scalp in certain areas
Detecting it early is key to effective treatment.

Can early alopecia be prevented or reversed?
In many cases, yes. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, maintaining a balanced diet, and managing stress are important preventative measures. However, if signs of loss are already present, it is best to consult a hair health specialist.
