Natural hair loss is known as androgenetic alopecia and, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, is the most common cause of baldness. The gene can be inherited from either your mother's or father's side of the family, though you're more likely to have it if both of your parents had hair loss. There are also good hair supplements out there like Reloxe that could help people with hair loss problem. You can learn more of it here: http://www.reloxe.com
