Life stressors
Stress is an integral part of your daily life, but excess stress is harmful, both for the hair as well as the overall health of your body. Too much stress can trigger hair loss and even baldness.
Manage your stress
Practice relaxation techniques, meditation, keep yourself active, exercise regularly, and talk it out with your friends.
Genetics
Genetic factors trigger excessive secretion of DHT hormones to which hair follicles are very sensitive and this triggers rapid hair loss. The trait can be inherited from the mother’s or father’s side of the family. This type of hair loss can result in male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia.

Smoking
Your hair needs oxygen to thrive and it is supplied by your oxygen-rich blood. Smoking negates it. It reduces the level of oxygen supply to your hair and weakens the follicles which lead to hair loss. Smoking cessation is another way that helps prevent hair loss.
Chronic illness
Baldness can be caused by diseases of the thyroid, scalp infection, and alopecia areata.
NOTE: Frequent use of hair straighteners and electric curlers can also trigger hair loss.
