Hair loss can be attributed to genetic factors in many cases. The male pattern hair loss usually starts in the age group of 20-30 and goes on for life. Hair loss tendency can be passed on from any parent to the child. It may begin with thinning and end with complete disappearance of hair from the scalp. In males, generally, the temples and crown are affected in the initial stages. In the advanced stages, only some hair is left on the scalp at the back and the sides. In females, hair loss is usually in the middle. The temples and the hairline don’t show much hair loss. Due to this reason, women can hide their hair loss more successfully. Hereditary hair loss is not considered a disease. It is preventable and even reversible. One can use the procedure of hair transplant to get the lost hair back. People can use FUT and   FUE to restore their hair successfully. Hair transplant surgery is the absolute treatment method for hair loss if you want permanent results.

Hair loss may also occur due to Alopecia Areata. It is an immune deficiency disease which destroys the hair follicles.
