Our answer to What are the causes of hair loss and how to prevent it?

Answer by Nature Crazy:

Unchecked hormones and inflammatory cytokines, such as Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha, Superoxide, Reactive Oxygen Species, Prostaglandin imbalances, stress hormone elevation, prolactin production, and DHT all play a role in the pathogenesis of hair loss.

What triggers these inflammatory events in the body?

Weight gain, Excessive physical or mental stress, Environmental Pollution, Poor diet and eating disorders, lack of vitamins and minerals, long term use of chemical based products, and a build up of toxins in the body.

Do genetics play a role?

Yes, but your genes just determine a supsceptivity towards thinning and hair loss. The field of epigenetics (which was a direct result of the work carried out at the human genome project) demonstrates that while the DNA in our make-up remains fixed the epigenome continually responds to our diet and living conditions, enabling an entire alteration in genetic expression.
