WHY DOES IT USUALLY OCCUR ?
Balding can occur because of a number of factors, including aging, skin conditions, poor nutrition, certain medications, stress and most commonly, genetic influences. The reasons vary from individual to individual. Trichologist Dr.Ritu Khedekar says, "When balding occurs as a result of an inherited genetic disorder, it is referred to as Androgenic Alopecia, also known as Male pattern Baldness." If at the time you were born, the genes responsible for hair loss were present, you will likely experience hair loss upon reaching adulthood.
Contrary to popular belief, balding is not inherited from the mother's father; rather, both parents contribute to a child's likelihood of hair loss. Aside from a physical condition, men can bald typically anywhere from their late twenties to well in their later years.
Trichologist Dr. Apoorva Shah says, "There are different types of balding, it can be hormone related or it can be due to various other reasons like autoimmune problems. If it is hormone related, then there is no age limit for balding. It can happen anytime after the age of 12 to 13 years. Autoimmune problems can happen anytime during one's lifetime as it is stress related.
