Sometimes you only know the importance of your hair when you start losing it. You ask what could have gone wrong. Did it lack conditioning or shampooing? But you know it must be something worse than that. So when you spot the first signs of hair loss (i.e., thinning hair, receding hair line, falling patches of hair), you need to consult a physician to know what could have caused it or whether it is only temporary or permanent.

There are many causes of hair loss and treatment is possible. Some of the notable reasons for hair loss include genetics, dihydrotestosterone build-up, hormonal imbalance, and medications.
