MEN • Causes & Reasons For Your Hair Loss

The most common cause of balding or thinning hair in men is genetic. Contrary to what most people think, Androgenetic Alopecia, better known as inherited male pattern baldness, can come from either the mother's or the father's side of the family.

Male pattern baldness can start in your teens. Most often, it starts in your twenties or thirties. It starts as either a receding hairline at the temples or a thinning at the crown area and progresses according to a set genetic pattern.

There are other types of hair loss (alopecia) ranging from patchy hair loss to total hair loss of the scalp to hair loss over the entire body.

In addition to alopecia conditions, hair loss can be caused by physical or emotional stress, disease, certian prescription drugs or even poor nutrition. It can also be caused by chemotherapy or radiation.

Contrary to public belief, wearing hats doesn't make hair loss worse. However hiding under a hat doesn't help either.

As many as 1 out of 3 men will experience hair loss in their liftime. But it doesn't have to have a negative effect on your life.
