- Genetics. This is a major one, especially for men. 98% of men with hair loss issues are in this category. Thankfully, only 7% of men have advanced balding pattern. On the other hand, 50% of women with hair loss issues are in this category.

- Internal Conditions. Hormonal influences, such as thyroid diseases and anaemia. Pregnancy is a big cause of hormonal changes as well. Autoimmune diseases may also cause patchy hair loss.
- External factors. Lifestyle and other habits such as daily bunning of hair, tight braiding, wearing of turbans/tudung, excessive use of hair wax/gel/spray and dyeing/rebonding/perming of hair
- Stress. This is also why urban dwellings see a higher rate of hair loss issues. This may also affect people without genetical conditions. Sudden hair loss caused by stress is called telogen effluvium.
- Medication. Anabolic steroids, birth control pills, antidepressants and sleeping pills can cause hair loss.
