Hereditary is the most common cause of hair loss. This can happen to everyone, but the chances are bigger if many family members also suffer from hair loss. In other words this type of hair loss is called androgenetic alopecia and is easy to treat.

Childbirth, ilness or other stressors can also cause hair loss. This is often recognisable a few months after giving birth, recovering from an ilness or having an operation. When the stress stops it is possible to recover, but this can take a couple of months.

Coloring your hair or wearing certain hairstyles can over time lead to hair loss. Because this way you do not care for your hair condition carefully and may pull on it, which may cause to damage it. Once you damage it, hair will not grow from the follicle anymore causing bald spots.
