Genetic hair loss may begin in the early twenties or it may be later in life. No one knows why it affects certain members of a family and not others.

The gene that causes this loss of hair travels through a family randomly choosing who will lose their hair and who will not. Women do not suffer from this problem as often as men.

When a person has genetic hair loss, the body does not reproduce hair once it has fallen out. The shedding process is normal and most people lose from 100 to 150 hairs per day.

This is part of the cycle that hair goes through. In people with genetic hair loss, the hair does not grow back after being shed.

This type of loss of hair affects women and men differently. While the first thing that happens with men's hair loss is the gradual receding of hair, women's hair thins all over her head.

Men end up with a horseshoe effect where most of the hair on top of the head is lost. Women can lose enough hair to become bald with this problem as well.

Genetic hair loss is also affected by the hormone DHT. If, for some reason or another, a man does not create testosterone, they will not lose their hair.

Make sure you have a reason to be worrying about thinning hair beforehand. Not all thinning hair is due to genetics.

Sometimes as we get older, our hair starts to thin. This thinning is nothing to worry about because it will not progress to the point of losing all your hair.

Have you ever heard of skull expansion? This is another cause of genetic hair loss. As you grow your skull grows right along with you.

Even after you are grown your skull can also grow and change its shape. The skull will normally take a shape similar to that of one of your relatives.

When the skull expands or reshapes itself, which happens constantly throughout your life, this can also cause male pattern baldness. The skull shape that you get from relatives will make the difference as to whether the hair recedes or not.

The more your skull expands the greater the risk of loss of hair. Since this is determined by your relatives it is hereditary.

The thinning hair you notice and the bald spots have always been thought to be the result of getting older. However, genetic hair loss can occur to a male in their early teens.

The loss of hair can happen to men in their early 20 and 30s. Or it can wait and happen later in life.

The one thing that binds almost all men together is the desire to do something to reverse the hair loss. There are so many products on the market today promising solutions to hair loss, it is hard to know what to choose.

Since genetic hair loss is caused by DHT, it stands to reason that the solution is going to be a product that halts DHT from harming hair follicles. There are products that are specifically designed to treat this problem.
