What Causes Hair Loss?

Understanding the root cause is essential for determining the most appropriate treatment approach

Genetic Factors

Androgenetic alopecia accounts for 95% of all hair loss cases, caused by genetic predisposition and DHT hormone.

  • Men: Receding hairline and crown thinning
  • Women: Overall thinning with preserved frontal hairline
  • Can begin as early as late teens or early 20s
⚖️

Hormonal Changes

Hormonal fluctuations can trigger temporary or permanent hair loss in both men and women.

  • Pregnancy and childbirth
  • Menopause
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
💊

Medical Conditions

Certain medical conditions and treatments can cause hair loss as a side effect.

  • Alopecia areata (autoimmune)

Hair Loss FAQ

Common questions about hair loss causes, types, and treatments

What are the main causes of hair loss?

Hair loss can be caused by genetics (androgenetic alopecia), hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and autoimmune disorders. Male and female pattern baldness are the most common types, affecting millions worldwide.

How do I know if my hair loss is long-lasting?

Genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is typically long-lasting and progressive. Hair loss from stress, illness, or medications may be temporary and reversible. A professional diagnosis at Barley can determine your hair loss type and recommend the most effective treatment approach.

When should I seek treatment for hair loss?

Early intervention is key. If you notice significant thinning, receding hairline, or bald patches, consult a specialist immediately. Barley's microneedle technology works effectively when there's still some donor hair available. Don't wait until hair loss is advanced - earlier treatment means better results.

Can hair transplant treat all types of hair loss?

Hair transplant is most effective for androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss) and traumatic hair loss. It's not suitable for active alopecia areata or scarring alopecia. Barley's surgeons will assess your condition during consultation to determine if you're a good candidate for transplantation.
