    genetic hair loss influenced by androgens, often hereditary

    Androgenetic Alopecia, commonly known as Male Pattern Baldness or Female Pattern Baldness, is a genetic condition characterized by progressive hair thinning and loss.

This condition is the most common cause of hair loss, affecting both genders, and is often hereditary.
