Genetic and hormones are the main culprits of hair loss One leading create of hereditary hair loss in men and women is Androgenetic Alopecia (otherwise known as pattern baldness) which is responsible for 95% of hair loss Androgenetic Alopecia is characterized by receding hairline and thinning from the crown of the head in the cause of a horseshoe With Androgenetic Alopecia hair loss is caused by an increase in testosterone which leads to too much dihydrotestosterone (DHT) a derivative of testosterone. DHT can cause the blood give that feeds the hair to become damaged and it can eventually thin the hair follicle causing hair to grow out thinner and shorter until the follicle withers away. Furthermore the body’s immune system senses the follicle is dying and as part of its defense system tries further to shut it down and get rid of it. Other lesser causes include immune system disturb which leads to Alopecia Areata. This condition causes patches of hair loss on the head and sometimes over the body. Another condition is a stress or trauma-induced hair loss called Telogen Effluvium where hair growth slows or hair thins or sheds over a period of time. Fortunately this shedding is natural such as after childbirth and is temporary and reversible. Other temporary hair loss causes include lack of nutrition to the hair lack of circulation to the hair root sell infection or medical treatments/ conditions. Furthermore product buildup on the hair root and deep dirt on the hair root when mixed with sebum oxidizes into a thick hardened substance on the scalp which then clogs the entrance of the hair follicle and blocks nutrient absorption by the follicle. The new strand of hair has to contend through the clogged follicle resulting in a thinner hair abandon and smaller bulb at the root of the strand each measure the old one falls out. The end result is a hair follicle so damaged from bacteria sebum and DHT production that the follicle dies Women’s hair loss tends to be caused by product and dirt buildup on the root lack of circulation and nutrition irregular hormone levels and stress
