Hair Loss Causes in Men

Normally, hair loss in men is caused by heredity, hormones, and age. Genetic makeup determines if hair follicles in men are sensitive to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which causes them to shrink.

This "shrinkage" results in overall thinning with time. The process of aging is another cause of male balding, as it can weaken the follicle and consequently the hair shaft. This causes thinning and baldness in men.

Other Factors That Cause Sudden Hair Loss in Men

• High levels of stress can also sometimes be blamed as a hair loss cause in men, but balding experienced in such an instance is usually temporary.
• Trauma to the head accompanied by scarring can cause permanent damage to hair follicles.
• Even hair styles pulled tightly, like braids, can be a sneaky cause of hair loss in men. The tension created by the pull of the hairdo can irritate hair follicles, destroying them and stunting hair growth in men.

But 95% of the time, you can blame genetics when trying to determine your male hair loss cause.
