Baldness is caused by a mixture of genetics and hormones that we have very little control of. Though scientists are pretty close to identifying the genes responsible for baldness, (there’s more than one), the actual process of baldness is still quite a mystery. They are pretty sure that it is one particularly enzyme’s overzealous conversion of testosterone into (DHT) or dihydrotestosterone, an important part of male fetus development that causes baldness.
Just recently scientists have linked baldness with an iron deficiency, so eat more iron and maybe you can prevent baldness!

They scratch their head too much (just joking). I guess that some medicines cause it ,and maybe stress,how else can you explain 30-yr olds going bald? Considering old people, I guess a combination of both.In addition, probably their hair follicles deteriorate with age, seeing that it's not hereditary.

URE WRONG. It is hereditary, one can get it from their father u know. Other than that when the man cycle functions a little bit slower that is when the hair starts to get thin.

hair falls out of everyone's head, we loss about 100-200 hairs a day. some people genes dont allow the hair to regrow when the hair falls out of the follicle and the follicle losses circulation and dies off.

You can go bald from genetics, poor health, from outside influences (radiation), or from ingestion of things 'bad' for you - among other things.

DHT, or dihydrotestosterone
Sometimes more of this is produced than necessary and that causes hair loss.
DHT is a male hormone.

Male hormones - the same ones that make men sprout hair on their ears and backs.

People go bald because they lose all their hair.

They may have a little too much male hormones
