Hereditary hair loss

Hair loss in men is usually hereditary

By far the most common cause of hair loss in men is genetic. Some people have encoded in their genes that hair loss should start at a young age, while others have retained most of their hair by the age of 70.

Regardless, male pattern baldness is a natural process but there are very good possibilities for treatment if it is started in time.

The hormone DHT and its genetic attributes are the underlying cause of hereditary hair loss.

DHT

What is DHT?

It is DHT that causes body hair and facial hair to start growing on men and the substance is important for reaching sexual maturity. Later in life, however, it is the same androgens (mainly DHT) that cause hair follicles to shrink.

The longer the hair follicle is exposed to DHT, the more diminished it becomes. This causes the hair shaft to become shorter and thinner.

DHT also causes the hair to go into resting phase more quickly, which means that the hairs become thinner and shorter and decrease in number. These factors together contribute to a noticeable thinning of the hair.

Stress

Stress and hair loss

If you’ve been under a lot of stress for a long time, have symptoms of exhaustion, or have been through physical or psychological trauma, your body often reacts by shutting down hair production.

However, the hair remains on the head during the stressful period. That’s why it’s difficult to link hair loss to stress.

Hair can fall out up to 6 months after the hair has been put into dormancy and you can lose a lot of hair in a short time.
