Information: Loss o head hair is usualy a genetic thing. There are some diseases that cause it and certain drugs like with chemotherapy. The genetic variety is not preventable. Such things as Minoxidil and transplant surgery may be of benefit. Treating the underlying diseas and stopping the drugs might also help. But with chemotherapy that is not usually an option.
