I am only 25 years old, yet I am developing a circle of bald patch at the back of my head. Has this got anything to do with my hair-washing habits?

>>> I had alopecia right around your age too. It is thought to be caused by stress although I think hormones had something to do with it too. I would go see a dermatologist if I were you.

If you are male, you could be suffering from early male pattern baldness (MPB), which typically affects the back of the scalp and the front corners above the temples. It is possible to start balding as early as 25. In this case, the only shampoo you may want to try should contain Minoxidil, an ingredient that stimulates hair growth. And you may want to see your doctor who can prescribe Propecia, a hormonal pill that helps to restore hair growth in MPB.
Another rather common cause of painless hair loss is alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder (due to genetics) where the body starts rejecting scalp hair. Steroid injections and creams given by a doctor may help.
Other causes of hair loss would be serious diseases such as other autoimmune diseases, blood poisoning cases and drug reactions that would need hospitalisation and blood tests for diagnosis and treatment.

Sounds like a stress patch. People who are feeling alot of stress with have patches of hair fall out, it leaves a bald circle.
Try to cut down on the stress, when it grows back it could be a different texture, even color.

Probably not .... more to do with heredity. Your father may not be bald but ..... there may be some baldness on your mother's side. And some say it skips generations ....
I don't see many men anymore that maintain a thinck head of hair. Maybe adaptation is occurring .... men don't really need much hair for warmth so ... we're losing it .....

It's really not all the uncommon for guy to start losing hair at your age. When I met my DH he was about 23 and was already losing hair. It helps to get more Essential Fatty Acids in your diet. If you can't get it in your food you can take Evening Primrose Oil.
