The precise condition that results in hair loss cannot be defined. There are many causes for this problem. According to research, there are four factors which cause severe hair loss:
Genetic factors:
As announced in 2008, scientists at Bonn and Düsseldorf Universities have discovered an important genetic variation leading to hair loss. Researchers investigated more than 500,000 positions in the human genome, establishing a gene variant which occurs frequently in men who are bald than in others. The breakthrough may help explain similarities in cranial hair growth between fathers and sons. Hair restoration information will tackle the hair loss problem.
In 2005, it was established that a separate hair loss gene inherited through the maternal line, results in hair loss in men. It often imitates that of their maternal grandfathers.
Hormonal factors:
Imbalances in the male and female hormones that your body naturally produces may also be a factor. Likewise, an overactive or underactive thyroid gland can lead to hair loss. Correcting such imbalances can prevent hair loss. It is an effective men hair loss treatment.
Ageing:
Losing some part of your hair is a completely normal part of the ageing process. It is a part of the picture of androgenetic alopecia, which accounts for around 95% of all hair loss. In men, the condition is often known as Male Pattern Baldness. It is characterised by a receding hair line with baldness on the top of head.
Stress:
Anxiety and other forms of stress can be major factors. For instance, post illness or major surgery, you may suddenly lose a large amount of hair. Such symptoms are normally temporary and will reverse once you return to your normal physical health.

Defining Male Hair Loss
Every man's hair loss is different and unique. According to a Norwood Classification published in 1975, hair loss is broadly defined and depends on the individual. Today, it is used as an index for Male Pattern Baldness.
Hair loss is a cause of worry for both men and women. There are various causes of male hair loss. If, you are worried about the receding hairline in the basin after shampooing, you may think you are on the way to baldness. But, this is not usually the case. The 50–100 hairs that everyone loses each day often get tangled with the rest of the hair, and are washed out when we shampoo. Hence, it seems like a lot of hair in the basin after shampooing, but in reality the hair would have been shed earlier.
According to recent statistics, hair loss is more common in younger people than ever before and 30 is the age where a man decides to do something about it.
The statistics which have just been revealed by the UK’s leading hair loss clinic; The Belgravia Centre, take into account more than 10,000 men. The results state an exponential rise in the number of male hair loss sufferers between the ages of 21 and 30 and thereafter patient numbers gradually decline with age.
Please remember:As long as you have some stable hair on the back and sides of the scalp, you are eligible for hair restoration transplants, such as the minimally-invasive AHI Technique.
Regular-pattern hair loss
In the regular pattern identified by Dr O’Tar Norwood, two areas of hair loss – above the temples and on the crown gradually enlarge and converge. Eventually, the front portion, top and crown of the scalp is bald.
Norwood Class a hair loss
Norwood Class A patterns is characterised by hair loss that proceeds from the front of the scalp to the back. The connecting bridge of hair across the top of the scalp is absent, and generally hair loss in the crown is less extensive.
Please note:
If you are experiencing hair loss, it is important you receive an accurate diagnosis. This is particularly true when hair loss is diffuse, as underlying medical conditions may be a factor.
There are various medications for hair loss that can help men improve the receding hairline.
