Myth 4: Your hair loss cannot be genetic because both of your parents have full heads of hair

Hair loss can be inherited from either side of the family. Genetic inheritances can skip generations so it is not enough to look at your parents’ scalp and conclude that your issues are not genetic because they have full hairlines. We recommend getting a microscopic examination done.

Myth 5: Hair loss only happens to adults after a certain age

Although it is true that hair could thin with age, there are various factors that can lead you to experiencing hair loss prematurely. Your diet and lifestyle are strong examples. Teens, pre-adults, and even kids are prone to hair loss due to these factors, so it is not always just a condition of ageing.
