I came up with my own hypothetical 10 reasons:
1. If you have (more) testosterone. I noticed it is more common in men. It seems that dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a chemical produced by the male hormone testosterone is a cause to this problem.
Experts believe men with high levels of testosterone are more likely to lose their hair, especially if baldness already runs in the family.
2. If you have a stressful, easily frustrated job. eg.having 'writer's block' when reaching dateline to hand in the article. 'Hair-grabbing' action may occur.
3. When you read/ study a lot. Hands may feel too 'free' when reading. Perhaps then, fingers will run to the scalp, scratch, doing 'pick and pluck' actions or maybe run down a feel strands of hair and twist them up, or maybe start pulling hairs.
4. It is in your genes.
5. When you load too much of chemicals on your scalp/ hair.
6. When you 'over-treated' your hair. eg. hair rebonding, or maybe some 'hair growing' treatment, etc
7. When you are on some drug/ treatment that may give this side effect. eg. chemotherapy
8. Or maybe you have suddenly withdraw from drug like minoxidil
9. When you have some diseases that can give rise to alopecia. eg. vitiligo, lupus
10. When you have not been drinking 60 cups of coffee a day. (haha) Read on to find out why..
Coffee could hold the cure for baldness
(Daily Mail)
The new study, published in the International Journal of Dermatology, found that caffeine works by blocking the effects of a chemical known to damage hair follicles.
But drinking plenty of coffee may not be the best answer.
Scientists estimate up to 60 cups a day would be needed for significant amounts to reach follicles in the scalp.
Instead, German cosmetics firm Alpecin has developed a caffeine-rich solution that can be rubbed on the scalp.
