What causes alopecia?

[mukul97]

Is it from stress? Or putting heat onto your hair a lot? (I iron my hair). Or are you born with it?

Well alopecia is just hair loss, could be a range of reasons;
Diet/alcohol
Genetics
Stress
Diseases
Lifestyle
Too much styling products/chemicals
Ironing your hair too much lol
Restricting blood flow
Wearing a hat or somekind of headwear to tight.
Anabolics
Supplements

Best way is to speak to a specialist and see whats going on, in the mean time you can get some hair loss shampoos or conditioners to help the scalp remain healthy and promote growth

But if you are specifically talking about Alopecia Areata, then stress and physical stress would be my guess

Youre talking about androgenic Alopecia right?
