Does run in families: One's primary care doctor can check for medical causes. If none are found and hair loss is excessive, one can see a dermatologist such as one specializing in hair restoration (some treatments: minoxidil, etc...). Medical causes may include hormonal problems (low thyroid), seborrhea, alopecia areata, stressful illnesses. Other causes: genetic male pattern baldness, etc...
