What are the causes of hair loss related with hereditary?

Answer 1

The most common cause of hair loss is in your genes. Heredity hair loss is often called male/female pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia. Almost as many women as men develop hereditary hair loss, but their hair loss patterns are often different.

There are two types of heredity hair loss. They are

Not advanced androgenic alopecia :

In one of the more typical patterns of androgenic alopecia, some of the hair follicles actually "shrink." As the follicles shrink the quality of the hair strands growing from the follicles is reduced. This type of hair loss is most often associated with men. However, women also suffer from not advanced androgenic alopecia. The difference is that the hair depletion pattern in women is usually more sporadic and less concentrated in one spot.

Advanced androgenic alopecia :

This is a more serious stage of hereditary hair loss. In the advanced stage the hair follicles shrink so significantly that they can no longer sustain hair growth. Advanced androgenic alopecia is seen primarily in men. And it is very, very common. In fact, most men will at some point in their life be affected by advanced hereditary hair loss. There are degrees of advanced androgenic alopecia. Men who are less severely afflicted with this hereditary hair loss typically experience it in select areas only. For example, receding temples and/or a little thinning of the hair on the cranium means that hair follicle shrinkage is concentrated in those select areas.
