If your hormones aren't to blame, there's a good chance your ancestors are, as Cucinello notes hereditary-pattern baldness as the most common cause of hair loss. “It is a natural condition that is usually diagnosed by both its pattern and a history of a similar type of hair loss affecting family members. In women, hair loss tends to be more widespread, but better hidden. In men, genetic hair loss tends to be localized and concentrated on the top of the head," he explains.
What you can do: According to Cucinello, there is light at the end of the tunnel: “Scientists have reported (in the British Journal of Dermatology May 2013 issue) that restoring hair growth on bald patches is possible by injecting those areas with platelet-rich plasma, dubbed The Vampire Treatment since taken from the blood of the patient. This energizes the scalp with new active blood flow,” he says. “Hair Stem Cell Cloning is already in the works and is expected to work by harvesting small, circular samples of healthy hair follicles from the scalp and cloning them into millions of new, strong hair follicle stem cells. These cloned stem cells will then be injected directly into the scalp, repopulating bald areas with new hair."
