Through our years of experience in the hair care industry, these are the 5 most common causes of hair loss that we see in Customers. It is important to understand the root cause of the problem so that you can treat the root cause, prevent further reoccurrence. If the root cause can’t be treated, then it is also better not to waste money on a treatment that claims to be able to help.
1. Genetics. This is a major one, especially for men. 98% of men with hair loss issues are in this category. Thankfully, only 7% of men have advanced balding pattern. On the other hand, 50% of women with hair loss issues are in this category.
