What age does hair loss begin?

It is honestly so heartbreaking to watch your hair thin out, I used to cry looking in the mirror when my hair loss started at 24. It is a very common age for hormonal changes to kick in. Please don't lose hope, speaking to a dermatologist early can really help save your hair.

My dermatologist explained that male and female pattern baldness can begin anytime after puberty, often starting in the early 20s or 30s. It is heavily influenced by genetics and DHT hormones. Over-the-counter oils won't cure genetic hair loss, so a clinical diagnosis is necessary.

I was reading up on this because my brother is 21 and already has a receding hairline. It turns out hereditary hair loss can start as early as late teens for some guys. It's crazy how much genetics play a role here.

I started losing a lot of hair at 23 after I moved to a new city for work. For women, it often starts in the 20s due to hard water, stress, or sometimes PCOS. Getting a water filter for my shower and eating more curry leaves really helped me.

Hair thinning usually starts around 30 to 35 for many women. I always suggest using homemade onion juice or amla paste to strengthen the roots naturally. But if you are losing hair in large clumps, please visit a doctor as it could be a thyroid issue.
