1. Is it normal for adults to lose hair?
Yes, in fact, most adults shed between 50 and 100 strands of hair each day. This usually happens after cleaning or combing the hair; quite simply, it is nature's way of promoting new hair growth.

2. What causes excessive hair loss in healthy men?
The most common cause of excessive hair loss is a condition known as androgenetic alopecia, or male pattern hair loss. Increased levels of the hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp damage hair follicles and cause them to shrink. This disrupts the natural growth cycle, the new emerging hair is not as thick and does not grow for as long as the ones before, and men shed more than the average number of hairs per day. Biolyn hair serum can help block this DHT from acting.

3. How common is male pattern hair loss?
It's surprising, but research indicates that 40% of men by the age of 40 and 50% by the age of 50 suffer from male pattern hair loss. It can even occur in young men in their early twenties.

4. Is male pattern hair loss hereditary?
Male pattern hair loss is influenced by genetic predisposition. However, the genes responsible for premature balding can be passed down from either side of the family, they can ignore generations completely and are random in terms of which siblings they will affect. That said, if the other male members of your family suffer from hair loss, it is quite probable that it will affect you too.

5. Are there any other causes of hair loss?
Yes, hair loss can also be caused by the following: Stress Some medicines and treatments, e.g. chemotherapy Hormonal changes, e.g. pregnancy and menopause
