    influence of hormones on hair growth and loss

    Hormonal factors refer to the influence of hormones—chemical messengers in the body—on various physiological processes, including hair growth and loss. For example, changes in levels of hormones like androgens can lead to conditions such as androgenetic alopecia, a common form of hair loss. Understanding these factors is crucial for diagnosing and treating hair-related disorders.
