    loss of hair occurring earlier than typically expected

    Premature hair loss, also known as early onset hair loss or premature balding, refers to the loss of hair that occurs at an earlier age than typically expected, often before the age of 30. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors including genetics, hormonal imbalances, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and certain medical conditions. It is characterized by thinning hair, receding hairlines, or bald patches, and can affect both men and women.
