Hair loss commonly occurs in men and women due to the genetic condition inherited from their parents. It is usually said that such conditions are carried by the maternal side, but one cannot be sure as to how far it is true. Hair loss in men or women could be quite embarrassing and in some cases, it can disrupt the way of living.

Male pattern baldness is where the hair stops growing and thins out and over a period of time goes bald. This can occur due to imbalance of hormones. Women pattern baldness also a result of genetic condition but it is more diffuse and lesser chance of a frontal hairline being lost.
