Baldness

 

What causes hair loss?

Hair loss is believed to be primarily caused by a combination of the following:

  • aging
  • change in hormones
  • illness
  • family history of baldness
  • burns
  • trauma

However, hair loss is not caused by the following:

  • poor circulation to the scalp
  • vitamin deficiencies
  • dandruff
  • excessive hat-wearing
  • a gene passed on from an individual's maternal grandfather

Generally, the earlier hair loss begins, the more severe the baldness will become.
