Nice inheritance dont you think? Just exactly when youre already confident with your job and your life, your hair line decided to go backward (worse, there is almost nothing left!) and little by little leave your scalp and expose the bare thing to the public!

Let us face it when genetics are in play what ever family trait and illness that are common may eventually be passed on to you. Hair loss is definitely one of them. A lot of people believe that it is only the men that lose hair in the family but in reality if it is in your blood line you are most likely to end up there as well.

It is not your fault you are losing those beautiful locks you once had. No matter how strong and powerful you are you can not control it if it is in your genes. In fact its in your genes that will say as to how much hair you can have in a lifetime and how much hair you will lose at a certain time.

You dont have to worry about this hair loss though because not everyone who has genes that have hair loss will actually experience it. There are some people who just carry the genes. While for those who will experience it, some happens at an early age while some later.

We used to think that only males initially lose their hair but in reality there are a lot women too who experience hair loss the only difference is their hair thins all over instead of just a specific spot that happens with men.

Scientists have found different ways and solutions on how to treat receding hair lines. If there was one thing you cannot do with hair loss is to prevent it. All you can do is treat is to treat it when it starts receding already.

Do not expect that the treatment (commonly drugs) will work quickly. There are some who grown very substantial hair at faster rate while there are some who grow only a few at a longer period. If you want more hair there are now surgical treatments available for additional hair in areas where it is most needed.

Just because it is in your genes it doesnt mean you cannot do anything about it. Go see your doctor and know what you can about this impediment. There are lots alternatives to every treatment. You can choose to take something orally, topically or you can consider surgery. Hair loss in genes is not an excuse to not do anything.

If you are wondering why you are losing your hair when nobody in your mothers side is in anyway bald you might want to look in your fathers side as well. There was a common misconception that hair loss is inherited from the mothers genes but this is not the real case because there are some who got those traits from their fathers genes.

Remember also that no matter your age, gender or race can not really tell you of your possibility with hair loss. All you have to do once it happens is to go to doctor and know which treatment will suit you best. After all it is your confidence that is most important because it will affect how you interact with people.
