Myth Busted: Do Mites Cause Hair Loss? 🧬
There’s a common misconception that mites cause hair fall. In reality, mites naturally live on everyone’s skin, including the scalp. They’re part of your body’s normal ecosystem — not the enemy.
👉 The real reason for most hair loss?
Hormonal sensitivity at the hair root.
When hair follicles are sensitive to certain hormones (like DHT), it causes the root to gradually shrink. This process is called miniaturization, and it leads to thinner hair — eventually causing it to fall out.
✅ So no, mites don’t “attack” your hair or block your pores.
❌ Hair loss is not caused by their presence.
It’s all about how your hair follicles respond to hormones, not hygiene or microscopic bugs.
