    external factors that can initiate or worsen hair loss

    Environmental triggers refer to external factors in a person's surroundings that can initiate or exacerbate certain conditions, including hair loss and alopecia. These triggers can include stress, pollution, exposure to chemicals, and changes in climate, which can affect the health of hair follicles and potentially lead to hair thinning or shedding. Understanding these triggers is crucial for both individuals experiencing hair loss and professionals developing treatment plans.
