Personal Hair Loss Turning Point
- Dr Amna described waking to find huge patches of hair missing after scalp tenderness and how it made her frantic to find answers.
- That personal experience drove her to specialise in hair and build Root to fill gaps in care and reliable information.
Hair Loss Is Usually Multifactorial
- Hair loss is complex and usually multifactorial, ranging from transient shedding to permanent scarring.
- Androgenetic (pattern) hair loss is the single commonest cause and involves genetics plus hormones like DHT thinning hairs.

- Expect to lose about 30–150 hairs per day and use your own baseline to judge abnormal shedding.
- Notice patterns like increased hair on pillows, in drains or widening parting to decide if it's more than normal.
