Hair Loss: More Than Just Genetics

Posted by Writer - September 15, 2016 - Hair Loss

For many men, balding is inevitable. You may have spent your entire childhood and adult life knowing your father is bald, so it’s most likely in your future as well. Approximately 80 percent of male hair loss can be attributed to genetics, but that doesn’t mean your father is entirely to blame for your hair loss. In fact, certain factors could have aggravated your genetic predisposition and brought on balding even earlier than your genetics dictated. While genetics certainly play a factor in the amount of hair on your head, your environment and lifestyle choices could potentially be a major contributor to your need for hair loss treatment in Greensboro, NC.

Here are four factors that could be contributing to your hair loss:

  • Hormone deficiency: This is the second leading cause of male hair loss after genetics. Male baldness is most commonly caused when testosterone transforms into DHT (which can shrink hair follicles) through a chemical process. Over time, the follicles will stop producing new growth entirely. While some prescription medications can slow down this process, the best way to reverse the effects of a hormone deficiency is through hair loss treatment in Greensboro, NC.
  • Telogen effluvium: Despite its complicated name, many factors can result in telogen effluvium. This occurs when a shock to your body causes the roots on your scalp to be pushed into a resting state, essentially telling your body it no longer needs to produce hair. This natural phenomenon commonly occurs after one suffers from a serious illness resulting in a high fever, low blood iron levels or insufficient protein intake, or as a side effect of certain medications.
  • Alopecia areata: This form of hair loss is very uncommon. Its exact origin is unknown, but researches believe it is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s antibodies begin to attack the hair follicles. Over time, men suffering from alopecia areata may begin to notice small round patches of exposed scalp due to hair loss. It is possible that hair can grow back naturally after being effected by this form of hair loss, but a full head of natural looking hair can be difficult to obtain without professional help.
  • Environmental factors: What you choose to put into your body can have a larger effect on the quantity and quality of your hair than you might expect. Everything from smoking to eating a diet lacking vital nutrients or living in a particularly polluted area could be a major contributor.
