Lately, flaunting moustaches and beard are the new trends in town. Though men have always been conscious of their facial hair, the craze to sport dense beard and moustache is more than ever before. However, not everyone has dense and full beard and moustache. The problem of facial hair loss is becoming more and more prevalent. There are several factors that contribute to it. Some of the major reasons that cause facial hair loss in men are given below.

• Alopecia Barbae Universalis

Alopecia is an auto-immune disease where the body’s defence mechanism targets the body’s own hair follicles causing them to fall out. Two types of alopecia which affect the facial hair in men are Alopecia Barbae and Alopecia Universalis. Alopecia Barbae starts with coin-sized circular patches of baldness on the face which later spreads and causes complete or partial baldness.

On the other hand, Alopecia Universalis targets the hair follicles on the entire body and scalp of the person thereby causing complete baldness in eyebrows, moustache and beard.

• Aggressive Drying

Aggressively washing your face and then towel drying it vigorously causes the beard hair to fall off. It is because the hair strands are extremely fragile when wet. Since people tend to wash their face frequently, repeated aggressiveness is harmful to them. Moreover, using a blowdryer at high temperatures can also cause drying skin and rough hair which might cause the hair to fall out.

• Low Testosterone

DHT (Di-hydro Testosterone) is a male hormone which determines the hair growth in males. Low testosterone in men has proven to interrupt the hair growth cycle which causes thinning and lesser volume.

• Trichotillomania

Trichotillomania occurs equally in males and females among children whereas it occurs more in women than men in adults. Nevertheless, trichotillomania is a major reason behind facial hair loss as constant pulling out of hair causes bald patches.

• Surgery

Surgeries on the face or eyebrows can leave a permanent mark which causes the hair to not grow around that area. Cleft lip surgery is especially known to cause facial hair loss in men.

• Lifestyle Issues

Modern lifestyle issues like pollution, unhealthy eating, sedentary lifestyle, stress and tension also have a role to play in the causing scalp as well as facial hair loss in men. Mental, as well as physical health, is important for the body to function properly.

• Medications and Treatments

Medications for hormonal issues, heart disease, HIV, thyroid, etc cause hair loss in particular.
