Product discovery is educational and concern-based. Persistent, sudden, patchy, painful or medically associated hair and scalp concerns should be reviewed by a registered medical practitioner. Prescription products require appropriate clinical review.
Hair fall is not one condition. Explore 28 dermatologist-reviewed pathways covering hormonal changes, modern triggers, scalp disorders, patterned thinning and hair-shaft damage — then choose the safest next step for your concern.
Hormonal and metabolic changes can alter the hair-growth cycle, increase follicle sensitivity or trigger diffuse shedding. Correctly identifying the underlying driver helps prevent random product selection and delayed treatment.
Hormonal Review May Help
PCOS-Related Hair Loss
May be associated with widening part, crown thinning and reduced density, often alongside irregular cycles or androgen-related symptoms.
Contemporary medical and physiological triggers — including rapid weight change, post-viral recovery and stress — that may be associated with diffuse shedding.
These triggers often produce temporary, diffuse shedding rather than patterned hair loss. Identifying a likely trigger can help distinguish a temporary phase from an underlying condition needing separate review.
Nutrition Review May Help
GLP-1 / Ozempic Hair Loss
Shedding may be associated with rapid weight loss, calorie restriction, nutritional changes or physiological stress rather than the medicine itself directly damaging follicles.
Lifestyle factors rarely act alone, but they can compound an existing predisposition or medical trigger. Reviewing daily habits is often a useful, low-risk first step.
Sleep Deprivation Hair Loss
Chronic poor sleep, rather than a single bad night, may be associated with increased shedding over time via a higher chronic stress load.
Creatine is not proven to cause hair loss; concern here often reflects an existing androgenetic predisposition rather than confirmed causation. A family-history assessment helps distinguish the two.
A healthy scalp barrier supports follicle function, so root-level scalp conditions are often an early, addressable factor worth reviewing separately from hair-fall patterns.
Oily Scalp
Greasy roots and visible product buildup often mean more frequent washing is needed, and lightweight formulations may help.
Flaking, itching, redness or oiliness can range from simple dandruff to seborrhoeic dermatitis. These are not always identical, and persistent inflammation may require clinical review.
Patterned thinning with a family history may be associated with DHT-driven follicle miniaturisation. Regrowth and outcomes are not guaranteed and vary by individual.
Female hair thinning is frequently diffuse rather than patterned, which is why a structured assessment helps narrow the likely cause rather than relying on appearance alone.
Diffuse Thinning
A wider part and overall density reduction with visible scalp can reflect diffuse thinning, which has several possible underlying contributors.
Breakage is a strand snapping along its shaft, while shedding is a strand releasing from the follicle. Telling these apart at home is not always reliable — a dermatologist can help distinguish them.
Breakage: strand snaps along the shaft. Shedding: strand releases from the follicle.
Short broken strandsShed strands with root bulbLength retention difficulty
Shaft damage is a different category from follicle-level hair loss, and telling the two apart changes what actually helps — repair-focused care rather than hair-fall treatment.
Hair-Shaft Concern
Cosmetic Damage
Rough texture, reduced shine and styling-related breakage often reflect general cosmetic wear on the hair shaft rather than a scalp or follicle issue.
Not Sure Which of the 28 Pathways Matches Your Concern?
Hair concerns may involve more than one trigger. Complete a structured assessment covering shedding pattern, scalp health, hormones, nutrition, lifestyle, medicines and hair-care habits.

When to skip the assessment and get help now
Sudden patchy hair loss, scalp bleeding, pus or painful swelling, a severe allergic reaction, facial swelling or breathing difficulty, rapid unexplained hair loss, hair loss with systemic illness, hair loss during pregnancy or breastfeeding where medicine is being considered, significant hair loss in a child, or suspected scarring alopecia all need prompt professional review rather than AI guidance.

Ask Dr. Amit offers two separate paths. The instant chat is the Dr. Amit Hair Intelligence Assistant, an AI tool built on dermatologist-reviewed protocols — it is not a live consultation with Dr. Amit. For an actual consultation with a registered practitioner, use the Book a Human Consultation option.
Yes. The AI-assisted question and assessment tools are free. Human consultations follow the fee structure shown at the time of booking.
No. The assistant provides educational, preliminary guidance and possible contributing factors. It cannot confirm a diagnosis. A confirmed diagnosis requires examination by a registered medical practitioner.
No. The AI assistant does not prescribe medicines. Prescription treatments require review and prescription by an eligible registered practitioner through the human consultation pathway.
Yes. You can upload scalp images to help structure your questions and assessment. Image review can highlight visible patterns but cannot confirm a diagnosis on its own.
Your assessment answers and any images you upload are used to generate your guidance and are not sold. See the privacy section on this page for details on access, retention and deletion.
Book a human consultation for sudden or patchy hair loss, scalp pain, bleeding or infection signs, suspected hormonal causes, medicine or prescription questions, or whenever the assistant recommends professional review.
Yes. The assistant covers hormonal and postpartum hair-loss questions and will flag when hormonal testing or clinical review should be discussed with a doctor.
Yes. Dandruff, itching, oily and dry scalp concerns are covered, with guidance on routine adjustments and when a medicated or prescription approach may be relevant.
Yes. The assistant can suggest product categories and explain how they may fit your routine, including safety considerations and whether prescription review is required.
The full hair assessment takes about ninety seconds to a few minutes depending on how much detail you add, including optional scalp photographs.
Yes. You can return to review your guidance and use the progress milestones as a reference as you follow a routine over time.
Sudden or patchy hair loss should be reviewed by a registered practitioner. Use the Book a Human Consultation option rather than relying on AI guidance alone for this pattern.
No. No tool or product can guarantee hair regrowth. Results vary by diagnosis, severity, consistency of use and individual response.
