The American Academy of Dermatology states that heredity is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women. This is a condition called androgenetic alopecia, and it occurs when inherited genes cause your hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hair.
Genetics aren’t the only cause—there are other reasons for hair thinning and loss that might lead you to seek hair restoration in Florence, including:
- Age
- Uncontrolled stress
- Alopecia areata (spot baldness)
- Hormonal imbalances
- Treatments for cancer
- Damaging hair treatments
- Certain medications
- Infections of the scalp
- Thyroid conditions
- Lack of biotin, iron, protein, or zinc
