What causes hair loss and how to prevent it.?

Is it acquired or age related problem.What causes hair loss and how to prevent it.?
Hair loss is hereditary. I had a friend who was bald at 22, my father is 80 and has a full head of hair.What causes hair loss and how to prevent it.?
hair loss is due to the conversion of testosterone to DHT, which cloggs the folicle. propecia or proscar will prevent this, but it must be taken as a preventave measure, not a proactive one. this is costly over 30 years or so. the cause is due to genetics and how your genetics tell your body to convert testosterone.
Genetics honey. It is all in the gene pool. Iffin yo daddy was balding, 9 out of 10 so will you. Passed on by males. Can't change it, so learn to live with out, or really without it.
Usually it runs in the family, your mom's side. My hair is thinning a little and I complained to my doctor. I got a prescription for Propecia(doc said helps prevent hair loss) and then recommended for Rogaine. Seems to be helping.
There are a couple of reasons why hair loss occurs. The main one is a hormone(DHT) that attacks the hair follicles and causes the hair to fall out. To prevent this there are some different measures that one can take. One is to use Rogaine or Propecia. Rogaine is over the counter and is applied to the hair. Propecia is a pill that stops DHT. It has to be prescribed by a doctor. Then there is the laser hair comb that stimulates hair growth. ( not sure if it really works yet, but was approved by the FDA)





If you are about 35-60 then you can have a hair transplant.

A bad diet and lack of exercise can also cause hair loss. eating the right foods and staying away from really fatty foods and exercise will help as well.
I'm 32 years old and just a couple of months ago my hair fell like hell. I worried a lot because I don't want to get bald this early.My friends are telling me that it is because of ageing and hormonal changes.I didn't believe them so I try everything else to stop the falling.





I discovered that shampoo is the main culprit. I switch to Mane N' Tale shampoo (shampoo for horses too) and the falling stopped.My hair is back to normal now.
