Is stress the root cause of hair loss? This article explains how physical, chemical, and mental stress can make your hair loss worse.

Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) is a genetic condition that can pass from one generation to the next, or even skip a generation. It can also be passed on from either side of your family.

For men, once androgenetic alopecia has started, it very often continues until severe hair loss has developed. In most cases it almost always goes on to form the familiar male pattern baldness shape that so many men know all too well!

For women, androgenetic alopecia usually causes diffuse (evenly distributed) thinning of the hair (rather than the complete baldness that occurs in men). Nevertheless, this type of hair loss can still become extremely severe for some women.
