Hair loss: you can counteract it with these tricks | Life & Knowledge

A bald patch on the head can affect men AND women. However, while men usually go bald, women's hair “only” gets thinner. This can be just as bad for THEM.

Genes are most often to blame for hair loss! Around 60 percent of men and 30 percent of women suffer from hereditary hair loss. The second most common cause of hair loss is the autoimmune disease alopecia areata. This causes hair loss not only on the top of the head, but also on the sides of the head – circular hair loss.

So-called diffuse causes can also rob the female body of energy, which it then lacks for hair growth.

But hair loss does not always have to be treated medically. There are also simple measures that can minimize the loss. Read more about this with BILDplus.
