Frequently asked questions about hair loss
What are the typical causes of hair loss?
Hair loss can also be caused by several medical conditions, including alopecia areata, telogen effluvium and trichotillomania, fungal infections, iron deficiency, certain thyroid issues and even rapid weight loss. Alopecia areata causes the body’s immune system to attack its own hair follicles. This type of hair loss may be temporary or may need treatment if hair does not grow back. Stress, severe illness or another traumatic event can cause a temporary hair loss condition called telogen effluvium. Typically, after the stress or shock is reduced, the hair will grow back. Trichotillomania is characterized by compulsive hair-pulling. This condition will last until sufficient mental health treatment is received.
Hair loss can also be caused by certain medications and treatments, such as cancer treatment. Additionally, tight hairstyles like braids or ponytails can lead to scalp hair shedding.
Hair loss can be treated with medication, therapy or a combination, but determining the cause of your hair loss is the first step. If you are experiencing new or worsening hair loss, see your doctor or connect to a medical provider through the hims platform.

How do I know what type of hair loss I have?
For men who are experiencing a receding hairline, patchy hair loss, or hair loss that worsens slowly with age, the condition may be a result of male pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness is a permanent hair loss type with no cure, but there are several treatments available to help slow hair loss and even regrow hair.
However, it is recommended that men who are suddenly noticing bald patches with no apparent cause or pattern seek medical attention to determine the cause. These cases of sudden hair loss may be caused by a medical condition, such as alopecia areata, vitamin deficiency or the side effect of a medication. The good news is that these types of hair loss are typically temporary and resolve when the medical condition is treated.

What medical treatment can help with hair loss?
If you’re looking non-drug options to help with your hair, there is a surgical option called a hair transplant. As for non-medical aids (besides wigs and toupees), there are supplements like our biotin gummies and hair care products like our hair thickening shampoo
Note: men experiencing hair loss due to stress, a mental health disorder or a vitamin deficiency should treat the hair loss by treating the root cause. With any hair loss, consult a doctor or other qualified medical professional to determine the proper treatment.
