In men, hair loss is often caused by heredity, hormonal fluctuations, stress or a vitamin deficiency. With hair loss, men often become (partially) bald. With hair loss, men often lose hairs in one place, whereas women lose hairs more scattered over the scalp. This often leads to the development of prominent inlets or a receding hairline in men.
Hereditary baldness in men is almost always caused by certain genetic factors. If many men in your family have gone bald, the chances are that you will too. Depending on your family history, you may experience hair loss at a young age or after the age of 50.
