Although genetic pattern baldness is the most common form of
hair loss, a person’s specific condition could be due to other factors.
Therefore, the first important step to take would be to see a physician,
preferably a dermatologist or someone who specializes in hair restoration.
Tests can be performed to see if other conditions might be responsible. For
example, thyroid imbalances such as hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or
hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) can cause hair shedding. However, this is
effectively treated with proper medication.

Also, your hair loss may be a side effect from prescription
medications you may be taking. Drastic improvements can be seen by stopping or
lowering the dosage.

After being issued a formal diagnosis, appropriate decisions
can be made on a treatment strategy. Hope this helps.
