Hair Loss Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All and Neither Are the Causes
Hair loss doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t happen the same way for every man. At Lake Norman Hair Loss Solutions, we believe understanding the why behind your hair loss is just as important as finding the how to restore your confidence. That’s why every solution we offer starts with one-on-one support and a deeper understanding of the root causes behind thinning or shedding hair.
From genetics and aging to stress, illness, or hormone changes, male hair loss can be triggered by a range of factors, many of which are completely outside your control. Whether your hair is receding gradually or shedding suddenly, we’re here to help you take back control with expert insight and non-surgical restoration options personalized to your needs.
HOW HAIR GROWS AND WHY IT FALLS OUT
The Hair Growth Cycle: 4 Key Phases
The 4 Cycles of the Hair Follicle
Phase 1: Anagen (Growing Phase)
Phase 2: Catagen (Transition Phase)
Phase 3: Telogen (Resting Phase)
In this phase, the follicle rests for several months before the hair naturally sheds and the cycle begins again. Normally, 50–100 hairs shed per day as part of this phase, but disruptions to the cycle can lead to excessive loss. If we see that more than 8% of the hairs on your head are in the telogen phase, we can likely conclude that there’s a problem on the follicular level. When factors like stress, hormones, or illness interfere with this cycle, particularly the anagen phase, hair can prematurely enter the resting stage, resulting in visible thinning or patchy loss.
Phase 4: Exogen (Shedding Phase)
In this final active shedding phase of the growth cycle, the resting “club” hairs actually detach from the follicle. This typically lasts anywhere from 2 to 5 months and it is distinct from the telogen phase and is actively controlled by the proteolytic (protein-breaking) enzymes which weaken the hair shaft cause it’s release.
COMMON CAUSES OF MALE HAIR LOSS
What’s Behind Your Hair Loss?
The good news? Over 95% of men’s hair loss is caused by a common condition called androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness. With just one complimentary hair and scalp analysis, we can often determine whether this is the cause of your thinning hair or if another, less common condition is at play.
In addition to male pattern baldness, potential causes of hair loss in men include:
- Alopecia Areata
- Alopecia Totalis
- Trichotillomania
- Scalp & Skin Conditions (e.g., eczema, psoriasis)
- Thyroid Imbalance
- Autoimmune Disorders
- Prescription Medications & Medical Treatments
- Chronic Stress
- Physical or Emotional Trauma
