Hair loss is never a pleasant experience. It can be caused by many things, such as a condition/illness, or something that you genetically inherited. It can be caused by the lifestyle you're leading, chemicals you are using on your hair, and the way you brush it. It might be a medication you're using, or maybe a treatment such as chemotherapy. Or simply, a head injury. Most of these are completely reversible, except for the hereditary type.
If you know, or you think you know, you're not sure, or you absolutely have no clue why this is happening to you, and you want to find a solution, this is the page for you. However, it is strongly recommended that you visit the doctor anyway, before starting any treatment by yourself.
There are two main reasons one goes bald: they're either undergoing chemotherapy (temporary baldness; takes one or two years for the hair to grow back), or they inherited the condition from their predecessors, and are, therefore, completely bald (male/female pattern baldness; in a vast majority of cases permanent), but that doesn't mean you can't do something about your looks.
So, regardless of hair loss after chemo or a genetic hair loss, please note that various caps, hats, and scarves are avaliable, in many different colors, shapes, and sizes, and can, on a brighter note, make your wardrobe more interesting, and you can create a variety of styles that suit you.

This is merely an opportunity for you to be creative and different, by creating different styles that suit you. Why not try your hand in wig-making or, if that is too much of a bore, you can buy one. There are many wigs for hair loss and they are available in a rainbow of colors, and in a myriad of hairstyles, at your disposal.
Unfortunately, the only incurable hair loss condition is hereditary, and it is called male/female pattern baldness, i.e. hair loss inherited from mother or father. In men, the hairline recedes, and can form an 'M', or even progress further. Sometimes, hair can only remain at the back of the head and around the ears. In women, this starts at the top of the head, and spreads further. In men, it usually starts in their 20s, and in women, in late 30s onward.
If you wonder how to prevent genetic hair loss, unfortunately, you can't as there is no cure for that. However, some treatments can slow down the progress of the hair loss. You should consult with your doctor about available treatments. The only thing left to do is to gather support from your family and friends, accept who you are, and live a normal life.
If it bothers you much, you can buy a wig, style your hair in a way that the remainder of it covers the bald spots. You can also buy a head piece to cover the place where you have no hair.
When it comes to hereditary conditions, such as genetic hair loss condition, i.e. if your baldness is inherited from mother or father, or a hair condition that leaves scars on your scalp (inflammation that destroys your follicles and they can't produce hair anymore), you should consult with your doctor about the prospect of you having a hair transplantation.
They will take the follicles from the parts of your body that contain them, plant them into your scalp skin, and the hair will start growing on its own.
