Hair demands our attention more than we'd like to admit. We grow it, we cut it, we style it and we shave it. The possibilities are endless… until it falls out. For many people hair loss could be a problem. Baldness can absolutely be a style in itself, but it's not for everyone. The tough part is there seems to be no choice when it comes to hair loss. The main cause of hair loss in men and women is a condition called Androgenetic Alopecia, for which there is still no cure.

Take comfort in knowing that you're not stranded alone. Baldness occurs in two out of every three men and one out of every five women, affecting over 60 million Americans. It's normal to lose around 100 hairs every day. When this number exceeds 125 hairs, the hair will likely not replace itself and hair loss begins. There are many factors responsible for hair loss, including genetics, stress, illness, diet, medication and age.

For men, male pattern baldness accounts for most of all male hair loss. A defined horseshoe pattern is formed around the back and sides of the head when all the hair on top falls out. Men's hair loss is commonly hereditary.

Women do not experience such a dramatic balding on top, but rather more of an overall thinning or patches of hairlessness. Sometimes the scalp becomes visible, but it can often be successfully camouflaged. Women can often attribute hair loss to hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause.
