It is known that the tendency to hair loss can be genetically determined (programmed), however, there are a number of other reasons that can contribute to the development of alopecia. Among them are:
Regular stress;
Hormone imbalance;
Childbirth and the postpartum period;
Unbalanced nutrition and uncontrolled diets;
Unfavorable environmental situation;
Mechanical or chemical damage to the scalp;
Infectious processes.
In addition, hair loss may develop during specific treatment. Alopecia is often observed in patients undergoing chemotherapy, as well as after long-term use of certain groups of antibiotics, antidepressants, systemic retinoids or other drugs.
