    This article is bogus. Hairloss is rarely "caused". Hairloss occurs because of inherited genes. It occurs because of a common scalp related issue that you inherit from your ancestors and not because it is "caused".

    you forgot to mention old age, you can't hang on to a young body forever. We are actually spirits, the body is on loan take care of it, as a temple keep a good balance of spirit and matter, you are the driver not the car.

    You forgot the number one cause...Genetics (AKA male pattern baldness). It's not about how much testosterone you have in you, otherwise bodybuilders on steroids would all be bald, it's about how your body reacts to that testosterone. Some people do not go bald, even with high amounts of testosterone, others do go bald, it's all about what that testosterone does to you, which is determined by genetics.

    I think baldness is also facilitated by wearing of hats or caps too frequently and often. I think the head is like a vegetation land and it needs light to grow properly. Think photosynthesis.
