Causes for hair loss in men

Male hair loss, also known as Androgenic Alopecia or male pattern baldness, is originated by the effect of the male hormones, called androgens, on genetically predisposed follicles (passed down the family tree). For those who are prone to hair loss, within these genetically programmed hair follicles the male hormone 'testosterone' is converted into the androgen 'Dihydrotestosterone', or 'DHT', by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. It is the effect of this DHT that inhibits the growth of new hair cells, which in turn leads to male hair loss and in many cases, eventual baldness. Apart from these, the genes, hormones and age as well play a vital factor in the androgenetic.

Causes for hair loss in women

Just like in men, Androgenetic Alopecia is the main cause in women as well. Apart from the hereditary causes the following reasons have been identified for hair loss in women.

it can be due to a hormonal unbalance for reasons such as Hyperthyroidism (insufficient thyroid hormones) or Hyperandrogeny (too many male hormones) Hypo-oestrogeny (insufficient female hormones) which explains the hair loss in post-menopausal women.

It can also be due to mineral or vitamin deficiency such as Iron, copper, magnesium, protein or Vitamin B deficiency. Excessive medication related to anti-cancer, anticonvulsive, anti-thyroid drugs could also play an important role in its loss for wome.
