Hair Loss

Hair loss can affect both men and women, regardless of age.

Alopecia, or hair loss, can take many forms — partial, total, temporary, or permanent — and its causes are often multiple and interconnected.
The main types include androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, scarring alopecia caused by chemotherapy or age-related thinning.

If not properly treated, hair loss can evolve into baldness — a very common condition in the Western world that affects both men and women, although it is more frequent among men.

The average onset age for baldness is around 30 years, though this may vary.
As hair weakens, it gradually becomes thinner and loses strength and vitality.

• In men, hair loss typically affects the temples, hairline, and crown.
• In women, it usually appears along the centre parting and the frontal hairline.

Age-related baldness generally develops after the age of 50, resulting in overall thinning across the entire scalp.

Why Are You Losing Hair?

The most common causes of hair loss include:

• Psychological factors, external stress, or traumatic events
• Medication side effects, such as chemotherapy
• Hormonal fluctuations, linked to metabolic disorders or ageing
• Genetic predisposition
• Scarring, following trauma or surgery
• Unhealthy lifestyle, including smoking or alcohol consumption
• Underlying medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, hypertension, or diabetes
• Seasonal changes, and hormonal fluctuations associated with them

Hair loss is often linked to the overproduction of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts free testosterone into DHT (dihydrotestosterone).
DHT binds to the receptors in hair follicles, gradually weakening them.
Over time, this leads to reduced oxygen and nutrient flow, inhibiting hair growth and eventually causing follicle death.
