Why Does Hair Fall? (The Science)
Hair loss in men is usually a mix of genetics, hormones, lifestyle and health factors.
Hormones (DHT)
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) can shrink susceptible hair follicles, leading to gradual thinning and hair loss.
Learn more →Work & Life Stress
Significant stress, illness or major life events can trigger temporary shedding and make existing loss more noticeable.
Learn more →Diet & Nutrition
Deficiencies in iron, zinc, vitamin D or protein can contribute. A balanced diet supports healthy hair.
Learn more →Other Factors
Illness, smoking, alcohol, poor sleep and some medicines can contribute to shedding. Sudden loss deserves assessment.

Not just hope—real options, backed by research.
Minoxidil
- Topical treatment; oral use is off-label in many places
- Can stimulate growth and improve density
- Usually takes months to assess
Typical topical cost: about $20–$60/month; varies by product.
Finasteride
- Reduces DHT levels
- Can slow progression and support regrowth
- Discuss sexual and mood-related adverse effects with a clinician
Typical generic cost: roughly $10–$70/month, depending on market.
Dutasteride
- Stronger DHT suppression
- May be more effective for some people
- Hair-loss approval varies by country; discuss risks and suitability
Prescription treatment; price and approval vary by location.
Other Options
- Low-dose oral minoxidil (clinician supervised)
- PRP (platelet-rich plasma)
- Low-level laser therapy and microneedling
Evidence, costs and suitability vary by treatment.

Quick FAQ: Hair Loss, Minus the Hype
General education—not a personal diagnosis or treatment prescription.
Is hair loss inherited from your mother?
Not exclusively. Male-pattern hair loss is polygenic: many genetic variants contribute, inherited from both parents. Some important risk variants are on the X chromosome, which men inherit from their mother, but maternal family history is only one part of the picture.
Can stress cause hair to fall out?
Significant physical or emotional stress can trigger telogen effluvium, a temporary shedding pattern that may become noticeable months after the trigger. It is different from the gradual miniaturization typical of male-pattern hair loss.
Do supplements reverse male-pattern baldness?
There is no reliable evidence that supplements reverse genetic male-pattern baldness when nutritional levels are already adequate. Correcting a diagnosed deficiency may help. Avoid high-dose supplements without medical advice.
Are finasteride and dutasteride right for everyone?
No. They are prescription medicines with potential adverse effects and individual considerations. Approval for hair loss differs by country, especially for dutasteride. Discuss benefits, risks, fertility considerations and alternatives with a qualified clinician.
Does a transplant stop future hair loss?
No. Transplantation moves follicles into thinning areas but does not stop ongoing loss of non-transplanted hair. A long-term plan and careful donor-area assessment are important.
