Causes of hair loss
Many factors can cause people to lose their hair (medication, poor nutrition, severe stress) but the most common is hereditary hair loss.
Genetics is the most common cause of hair loss in men. Hereditary hair loss or male pattern baldness accounts for 95% of hair loss in men and can come from either your mother or father’s side.***
You’ve probably looked at other members of your family and noticed your hair is following a similar pattern to theirs. You will not necessarily follow the same pattern – your hair loss may prove to be less, the same or more. Unfortunately, there is no cure for this type of hair loss. With ongoing treatment using Regaine®, it can help to stop and even reverse hereditary hair loss.
