Five Early Warning Signs of Genetic Predisposition for Abnormal Hair Loss

• Acne: Adult cystic acne or acne with cysts can be a warning sign that a hormonal imbalance is taking place.
• Seborrhea: With Seborrhea, the sebaceous gland produces excess sebum, which builds-up on the scalp (it looks like cradle cap). This also can be a sign that a hormonal imbalance is taking place.
• Alopecia Areata: This is a systemic, non-hormonal cause of hair loss. Genetics, diet and stress trigger, what is believed to be an autoimmune disease and the subsequent hair loss associated with it. The bald spots of Alopecia Areata may come and go, but it is generally a warning sign of more severe hair loss problems ahead.
• Excessive Daily Hair Loss: When shampooing daily, the loss of 50 or more hairs per day can be a warning sign of potential hair loss problems.
• Excessive Body Hair: 50% greater risk of baldness if a man has complete chest hair. 70% greater risk if a man has chest, shoulder and back hair. 90% greater risk of baldness if man has total body hair.

It should be noted that the reasons for women's hair loss are vastly different than those of men. Men generally experience patterned baldness, while women experience diffused thinning.
