How does hair loss occur?

Loss of hair is a natural process of aging in most individuals. The most important factors involve genetic predisposition determined by relatives on both sides of a person's family. Hormonal levels play a part that can result in male pattern baldness and hair loss differing from individual to individual. Hair loss can be noticed as early as the teen age years or as late as in the retirement years. The amount of hair loss and rate of hair loss is as individual as the person who is afflicted by this process.
