Causes of hair loss

4

Phases of the hair growth cycle, and hair loss can start in any of them.

Hair Thinning in Early 20s

Hair loss is very common, but the causes are personal. In men, genetic predisposition is one of the most common reasons, and family history, medication, age, nutrition, stress, illness and hairstyles can all play a part.

At BayMed, genetic testing can give insight into the cause of your hair loss so we can choose the best treatment.

Men

Pattern hair loss

Often genetic, staged with the Norwood scale.

+ Hair growth cycle

How hair grows

Each follicle goes through four phases, then starts the cycle again.

01

Anagen (growing phase)

Cells in the root divide rapidly and form new hair.

02

Catagen (transition phase)

The last phase of active growth, when the hair is cut off from its blood supply.

03

Telogen (resting phase)

The hair stops growing and rests in the follicle.

04

Exogen (shedding phase)

The hair is released and falls out, and the follicle rests before starting again.
