Hair loss and balding is an issue that many men and women have to deal with as they get older. And, believe it or not, the main cause of hair loss is often due to heredity. This condition is called androgenic alopecia, male-pattern baldness and female-pattern baldness. It usually occurs over time, and in predictable patterns — a receding hairline and bald spots in men and thinning hair along the crown of the scalp in women. Hair loss happens because of the hormone DHT and its response to the shrinkage and loss of hair. However, not all hair loss problems are hereditary. Hair loss can also be caused by many other things. Let’s take a look at all the different things that can cause hair loss in both men and women:

1.    Heredity

2.    Hormonal Changes

3.    Increased Stress

4.    Your Diet

5.    General Aging

6.    Medications

7.    Medical Conditions including: Thyroid Disease, Lupus, Low Vitamin Levels, Anemia, Protein Deficiency, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and more.
