The 3 Factors That Need to be Present for Hair Loss

People do not suffer from hair loss overnight. It is a progressive condition that eventually produces baldness. And even in some cases, hair loss treatments are not enough to reverse the balding process. But more importantly, there are three factors, which people are not aware about, that need to be present in order for hair loss to occur.

The three factors are:

1. Male hormones, or androgens.
2. Genetic pre-disposition to balding
3. Enough time for dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to degrade the hair follicles.

There are multiple causes of hair loss and each one varies for every person, who suffers from the condition. Although it is pivotal to know what people should do to treat their hair loss, it is also important to know what caused it. Knowing exactly what caused hair loss to occur will help your doctors figure out what treatment plan will work best.
