Common Causes of Hair Loss

Genetics

In many cases, your hair loss might be purely genetic and pass on from generation to generation. This would come from both sides of your family. To access the risks, just look at all relatives in your family, in both father’s and mother’s families. This is also the factor that makes the hair follicles on your scalp sensitive to natural hormones in the body. In men, the most common hair loss pattern due to this cause is the U-shape patches. [2]
