Causes of hair loss
Myriad factors contribute to male hair loss such as pre-existing diseases, stress, unhealthy habits, medications, hair treatments and hormonal changes. However, the primary driver is genetic. Research indicates that 70% of the male population experiences hair loss at some point in their lives.
Hair loss in women is more complex. The most common cause is also predominantly hereditary, but damage to the hair follicles can often be caused by excessive hair strain due to modes of styling and treatments with strong chemicals. Iron deficiency and menopausal hormone change play a part too.
