Causes: Heredity, Medication, Stress
Causes (1)
Heredity: A receding hairline, thinning of hair, or bald spots could simply be consequences of family history (heredity). It occurs gradually with age, and in predictable patterns.
Medication: Certain medications, such as those of cancer, arthritis, depression etc. could also lead to hair loss.
Stress: A general thinning of hair could be caused, after suffering from a major physically or emotionally stressful event.



Hormonal disturbance: Hormonal changes due to certain medical conditions can also cause hair loss. These include pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and thyroid, among others.
Certain hairstyles and hair treatment: Excessive hairstyling or certain hairstyles, that pull hair tightly and put extra pressure, can also be the reason for hair loss. Further, hair treatments such as hot oil treatment and permanents could also be the culprit.
