Oh, it's pretty much all genetics. If you don't have male pattern balding anywhere in your geneology you've gotten lucky and you more than likely won't get it.

There are other factors however, some of them being poor nutrition, stress, excessive shampooing and poor circulation. These can all be argued of course, but for the most part, it's genetics.

Things such as shampoo, gel, stress, etc can cause hair loss, but not MALE PATTERN BALDNESS. That is more or less genetic and is caused by DHT attacking hte hair folicle (this is modern sciences best theories as of late).

I suggest you check out {removed} , but shampoo or such things may or may not cause temporary hair problems, BUT will not CAUSE BALDNESS.

shampoo everyday if you like, it keeps the scalp stimulated and clean and healthy.

Just don't scrub the hair OFF! Use a massaging technique and rinse well.
If you wash daily, use a mild shampoo matched to your hairtype and shampoo only once. Use conditioner as well if you need.

Shampooing does not cause hairloss!!!!!!!!!
That's an old wives' tale that keeps going and going!!
