How hair loss starts in men
Hair loss in the majority of men occurs mainly as a result of a genetic sensitivity to the effects of androgens. Hair loss of up to 200 hairs per day is considered normal. The causes of hair loss vary according to the environment and living standards. Hair thinning and loss starts on the top of the head toward the forehead line. Then, thinning of hair on the top of the head rapidly proceeds to baldness.
Is it usual to lose hair in your 20s?
Male pattern hair loss is often genetic and it is a real concern for many young men. It develops as a result of the sensitivity of the hair in this area against the effects of the dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hormone. DHT shortens the growth phase of hair, which is called anagen, causes hair follicles to miniaturize and hair becomes thinner gradually. This hormone has other functions such as voice deepening, beard growth, sperm production and muscle development in men in adolescence.
Male pattern hair loss can be seen starting from the age of 20s. 25% of men face male pattern hair loss until the age of 25, and 40% until the age of 40. In total, 60% of men have hair loss problems.
Reasons of hair loss at 20s
Among the causes of hair loss, genetic factors come first. Men inherit the hair loss gene from their parents and relatives. These reasons cannot be prevented as they depend on genetic factors. The process can be slowed down with some measures. Another reason is DHT hormone. It causes hair to become unhealthy and thinner over time. Yet another factor is age. How hair is affected by age varies from person to person.
Below are some factors that will cause you to experience hair loss in your 20s.
Genetic Factors
Particularly people who have a baldness problem in their families have the risk of losing hair. Nowadays male pattern hair loss beginning from the ages of 16-18 is more common in young girls. The reasons why it is more prevalent today compared to previous years are excessive stress, malnutrition, long-term fasting and hormonal problems.
Skin Diseases
Hair loss mostly occurs when skin diseases affect the scalp, if hair is affected due to skin disorders like psoriasis, eczema, acne, lichen planus, excessively oily skin and fungal diseases.
Wrong Eating Habits
Hair loss due to nutritional reasons is also common. Not having a proper and healthy diet, not eating for long periods, uniform nutrition and eating high-carb foods may lead to hair loss.
Lack of Vitamins and Minerals
The lack of vitamins and minerals needed for hair is another cause for loss of hair. If a person has vitamin and mineral deficiencies, such as B12, vitamin D, folic acid, zinc and iron, then their hair cannot be nourished properly and will start to fall. Even when there is no iron deficiency, taking iron supplements decreases hair loss.
Hormonal Problems
Hair loss can be defined as hormonal hair loss if it is accompanied by hormonal problems like irregular menstrual cycle, hairiness and acne problems. A dermatology specialist should be consulted to determine the source of these problems and a blood test should be taken on the second or third day of menstruation.
Stress and Depression
Too much stress is another factor for hair loss as well as it is for any disease. Medicines used in the treatment of depression and anxiety can affect hair and cause hair loss.
