1. Hair loss comes from either your father and mother’s side or the combination of two:

   There are around 200 genes responsible for hair growth and baldness can come from either parent. You may inherit the hair loss gene from either your father and mother’s side or combination of the two. So, if you have your father, grandfather, an uncle who’s bald or balding, all you need to do is ascertain whether you’re going to lose hair. How’s that possible? You can take the new GenoHomeopathy test which can determine your probability of losing hair 5-10 years down the line. Based on the test result, you can take preventive hair fall treatment early.

2. Male pattern baldness can happen at any age:

   In times past, male baldness pattern would start in one’s 40s or 50s. Today, even men in their 20s experience significant hair loss. It all depends on a variety of factors like lifestyle, stress, smoking, nutrition and diet, and underlying medical illnesses like thyroid and diabetes.
