Depends on the family traits, hormones and diet. Usually for women at menopause. For men, can start at the early 20's but usually mid 30's.

many of the 'baldness' medications work by keeping what hair you still have, rather than allowing you to regrow hair that's already gone.  so if you feel that you may be beginning to lose hair, it's probably the ideal time to see a doctor and attempt to arrest the decline in hair follicles.\n\nif you wait until you're bald it's probably too late.

Could be for several reasons - first thing to do is check out your relatives. It could run in the family.\nThen you should check how the hair falls out. If there are circle shaped spots where the hair is gone - then you should see a doc about it.

In boys, puberty takes about five years to complete, going from the time of the first noticeable changes to a full grown adult. The average age for starting puberty is 11, but it can be as early as 9 or as late as 14. \nhttp://life.familyeducation.com/puberty/growth-and-development/42272.html\n\nPuberty lasts a different amount of time for everyone, but generally it takes around five or six years from start to finish.\nhttp://www.fpaneo.org/story.asp?Id=25\n\nMaturation takes approximately three years to complete. \nhttp://tjsamson.client.web-health.com/web-health/topics/ChildrensHealth/childrenshealth/Development/puberty.html

"The advertisements for treatment of balding, and hair loss in men can't be missed. These ads might lead one to believe that hair loss is generally a men's issue. However the fact is that as many as two-thirds of all women experience hair loss at some point."  This is not an uncommon problem among young women.  My niece was 24 when she started to experience hair loss.  However, she also had very thick hair and this went on for a few months and gradually settled and the hair loss subsided.\n\n"Experts say our tresses usually grow at the rate of about one-half inch per month -- with each hair having a growth phase of two to six years. At that point the hair "rests" for a period of time, then falls out -- and the follicle from which it sprang soon starts growing a new strand. And so the cycle continues, usually well into our senior years."\n\nLots more info on hair loss in women as well as its causes and treatment on sites below.  Hope that helps!

It's normal with aging.  As you get older the hair on your head decrease but in places like eyebrows, ears, nose, and often times the back as well, the hair increases.  I am not really sure of any reason other than nature

I think that is a natural thing to happen.  It was also 3 months down the line. It happened to me with both of my children.  My sister-in-law had the same thing.  When you are pregnant your hormones make  your hair grow really well.  Once those hormones start going back to a prepregnancy level you will lose that hair.  I also had to wash mine more often again.

Normal Hair Loss\nThere are a number of reasons why men start to go bald, but if you are a man between the ages of about 20 to 45 and you start to lose scalp hair, then the chances are 95 per cent certain that you are experiencing male pattern baldness. As the term suggests, male pattern baldness follows a typical sequence or pattern. \n\nSponsored Links\nHair Loss Chart\nRanking of the top hair loss products for 2006!\nwww.Hair-Loss-Report.com\n\nTips for Fixing Hair Loss\nSee how I did it. 92% success.

Initial thinning of hair progresses over a number of years and may lead to total baldness but more typically loss of hair over the top surface of the head.\nThe Cause of Male Pattern Baldness\nMost men are genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness. It is the effect of hormones on the hair follicle that produces male pattern baldness. Testosterone, a hormone that is present in high levels in males after puberty, is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. DHT has an adverse affect on the hair follicles. Acting on a hormone receptor on the hair follicle it slows down hair production and produces weak, shorter hair, sometimes it stops hair growth from the follicle completely. This process gradually depletes your stock of hair and is normal hair loss.\n\nHair loss, Illness or Disease\nGo to your doctor if:\nYou lose hair suddenly, if your hair loss is in clumps or significant enough that you notice large amounts on your pillow, covering the back of your clothes or when you wash your hair. This type of hair loss does not represent typical male baldness, but it does require a diagnosis. Don't worry

While it does vary some ... most boys are around 16 years old when they start shaving.

Hang in there! It took my son three or four months to lose all his hair. He has very thick dark and light blonde hair. All the dark hair fell out within the first two months, and the light blonde stayed for quite awile but it eventually all came out. But that was only during his first 8 months of treatment. Not all chemotherapy makes the hair fall out. The last 8 months he had a totally different chemo combination and all his hair grew back in. It's not as thick as it used to be, but its baby fine.\n\nIncidentally, for those who do not know why hair falls out during most chemotherapy treatments. Chemotherapies job is to stop cancer cells from growing.  Hair cells are cells that grow on a regular cycle (that's why you get a haircut). If a patient is undergoing chemotherapy on the same day or days that the hair cells are growing, than the chemotherapy will stop them from growing too. In a way, when a patient loses their hair it is a signal that the chemotherapy is working at killing off cancer cells. So, the loss of your hair . . . is a round about good thing.\n\nWhen your chemotherapy stops . . . your hair will grow back.\n\nGood luck with your treatments.

Hair falling out can mean a lot of things.  A big factor, can be your diet.  If you aren't eating right, or not getting enough vitamins, it can start to affect your hair loss.

Pretty common. I had it when I was about 9 or 10. It was embarassing, but it happens to alot of kids.\nI remember my mom freaking out. She practically bobbed my hair short and bought the special shampoo for head lice.

The average age for growth to stop is 18, however it is not uncommon to grow after that.
