Losing a lot of hair, more than normal, can be due to several reasons. The important one being genetics. Other causes can be diseases, stress, medicines, injury, and aging or poor hair care.

As said earlier, genetics is an important factor. It is usually called as male-pattern, or female-pattern hair loss and the medical term used is androgenetic alopecia. In this type, your genes affect your hair growth. They trigger sensitivity to a set of hormones called androgens which cause hair follicles to shrink.

Few other common causes of hair loss include:

• Ringworm of the scalp, this is common in children.
