Genetics & Hair Loss

Hair loss can be triggered by a variety of factors like stress, diet, health, even something as simple as a hairstyle can cause hair loss, but one of the most important factors can be found in our genes. Genetics can provide a lot of information about a person such as their eye and hair color but genes can also tell us a great deal about our hair loss.

Most male hair loss is caused by Androgenetic Alopecia more commonly known as Male Pattern
Baldness, a genetic condition that affects over 95% of men. Research has shown that genetic hair loss such as androgenetic alopecia is connected to hormones called androgens. Androgens play several important functions in the human body including regulating hair growth, particularly an androgen called dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Dihydrotestosterone is an androgen hormone and a by-product of testosterone. Androgenetic alopecia is caused by the hair follicle's sensitivity to DHT. A DHT sensitivity causes follicles to shrink, resulting in a shorter lifespan and the abnormal production of hair. Hair follows a natural cycle it has a growing phase and a resting phase without proper nutrition, the resting stage gets longer while their growing phases get shorter.
